The Christalee Project

About Me

Christalee was born and raised in Southern California. She began singing on stage at the age of 5. As she grew older she became the soloist for many choirs and played lead in many Stage Musicals such as ... The Wizard Of Oz, Oklahoma, The Mikado, and Fiddler on the Roof ... just to name a few.
By the time Christalee graduated from High School she was touring with bands (lead singer) all over the country as well as Australia.
At the age of 23 she recorded her first title song for the Disney Film "The Small One" and other various projects for Disney. She also toured with her trio called The 3 of Us (a Christian Group). Since then Christalee has opened for such greats as Lou Rawls, Joan Rivers, Mabel King, and Barry Manilow. She has also flown back and forth to Nashville to record various projects with different producers such as Bruce Irvine.
For many years Christalee did one woman shows at Carlos and Charlie's and The Troubador in Hollywood, with many special guest artists from The Young and The Restless, The Bold and the Beautiful, and incredible artists such as Linda Hopkins and Mabel King (The Wiz's Evilene).
Over the last few years, Christalee, performing in the Southern California Arts Goodwill Event, has been afforded the opportunity to sing with such Broadway greats as ... Patrick and Shaun Cassidy, Susan Anton, Melissa Manchester, Maureen McGovern, Lorenzo Llamas, Loretta Devine ... and many more.
Christalee's sound is quite diverse as she can sing anything from Country Rock to Light Opera ... with a three octave range! However her favorite style is Torchy Ballads.
