This unique beauty, African-American and Swedish singer/songwiter/makeup artist, is one who you will definitely want to meet, and one you will never forget.
~Christine is the next "Best Kept Secret." She is testimonial soul; delivering prophetic words of truth that "make you think." After hearing her voice, or seeing ~Christine perform, you will constantly hear her music over and over in your mind; Her fans often refer her voice to "one of an angel," strong, yet smoothed out with soft melodic tones. ~Christine's "cutting edge" sound brings you an alternative rock/neo-soul sound, surrounded with sensuality smoothed over with a R&B-gothic flavor.
It all started when ~Christine was about 3 years old; She would sing and dance around the house, driving everyone nuts! Her parents were like, "We have to do something with all of her energy!" So, they enrolled her in dance class, while she was still in nursery school. Then they bought ~Christine her first "tape player/stereo" when she was about 6. She listened to her Jackson 5 album over and over....along with Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, lots of blues and rock-n-roll. Her parents bought her instruments like bongo drums, xylophones, etc..etc...and ~Christine would play them all; She had melodies, and a whole little band set-up at age 7. Her parents took her and her brother to New York, to see the "sights," and when ~Christine saw a musical performance in the park....she was mesmerized! (She had a fit when it was time to go)! It was then her parents knew she was something special. While growing up, if her school would have anything to do with a show, whether music or acting, ~Christine was always the lead. Now, you know it was ALL OVER when ~Christine got her first "Casio" keyboard!!! Yes! The Casio!! *smile* A self-taught piano player, ~Christine would stay up past her bedtime and play her new instrument- (her secret was using the headphones so she wouldn't get caught)! The next instrument was the flute at age 9, and ~Christine received lessons for many years, where she learned how to read music, develop "perfect pitch," and develop a sound and style all of her own- kind of classical, yet soulfull. ~Christine also attended numerous music schools/camps, expeditions, and worked with the finest musicians and choreographers in the nation. ~Christine also became a singer/songwriter, (at the age of 13), and later went on to become one of the best flute players in her area. This landed her an opportunity to attend the prestigious Berklee College of Music- The plan was for her to go with her best friend at the time, but there were a change in plans...............
~Christine decided that she wanted to experience life first-hand. After finishing cosmetology school in 1989, she had a daytime "gig" as a hairdresser and make-up artist, and did her music at night. Her true life experiences made her music even more closer to her heart. And now, she wants to share her artistry with you. ~Christine says, "It's just time....."
~Christine is currently working on her up-coming album, "Reality." The album will have a little bit of everything; All types of music, which will showcase ~Christine's versatile singing. Instead of working with one producer, ~Christine decided to work with different artists/producers, including the soulful-torch sounding Maylyn Murphy. ~Christine states, "I just wanted to do an album with a lot of flavor on it. I'm not trying to be this big-time, 'oooo look at me, i'm a rock star'-type of person; I just want to do music for the people....it's not about me. But I do want you to feel me and know that it is a blessing to share my craft with you.......Do you know what I mean?" And you can find some soothing background harmonies from ~Christine on Maylyn Murphy's sophomore album, "Body and Soul."
A lot of ~Christine's music reflects pieces of her life; she is the "real deal." Loosing loved ones, family, love, relationships, growing spiritually, are only a few examples of topics ~Christine writes about. "Every song I create has developed from a true-life experience," ~Christine reports. "So many people take life for granted; So many are afraid to say 'I love you,' or to be thankful for the people in their lives. I say this because it is a miracle that I am alive. I have had that near-death experience where I literarly had to be brought back to life, and that is why I appreciate everything, and everyone, in my life. Once you receive a second chance just to live, you see things soooo differently." And ~Christine has "been there, done that," and hopes to reach all audiences through her musical gift of song.
~Christine is professionally trained in jazz and classical vocal styles. But her natural talents are of rock and soul. ~Christine's background also includes numerous performing experiences/venues, script/screenplay writing, professional songwriting, instructing dance, choreographing, coaching cheerleading, and musical theatre.
While working on her music, ~Christine is a well sought after professional freelance makeup artist, specializing in M.A.C. Cosmetics.
Invite ~Christine to your local area or venue for pure, prophetic musical testimony for an extra grain of spiritual love and empowerment.
