Christine’s first loves were figure skating and music. She loved exploring her mom’s cd collection, discovering the sounds of Madonna, Paula Abdul, and the Beatles, among so many others. She loved listening to the radio, discovering all kinds of music from Leann Rimes to Sheryl Crow to Alanis Morrisette. Music ignited her soul to sing and dance, pretending she was either on the ice or in a music video. Her reflection in the window, her audience.

A natural-born dreamer, she found her spirit called to create. She loved writing from as far back as she can remember. Along with writing stories, she analyzed lyric books, memorizing the lyrics of her favorite songs, not yet knowing someday she’d be writing her own.

As a teenager, she got her first guitar and taught herself how to play. She was writing songs in her journal, and dreaming of becoming a rock star, but due to significant unhealed trauma throughout her young life, and a lack of meaningful support, she struggled to find her voice. Feeling lost, she fell into a long hard battle with addiction.

During her college years, she met the love of her life, her music producer husband, during a karaoke night in Duluth, MN. They immediately took notice of each other and realized how much they had in common. It was something special. They got married and moved to Los Angeles, CA, to pursue their dreams.

It wasn’t always an easy journey, and a hard path of recovery followed, but together they walked through the fire to the other side. Sobriety gave them the stability and opportunity to create the better life they dreamed of and a beautiful baby boy. Their son was a gift of God’s grace. And their greatest teacher.

Throughout her motherhood, she’s had to face her complicated past, but the journey of healing and letting go has proven to be worth it. It led her back to her music and the belief that it’s not too late to be who she might’ve been.

Music is therapy. Music is freedom. Music is healing. Music is love. She hopes her music can bring healing to other lost and hurting souls in this fallen world.

Currently residing in East Tennessee, she’s learning and growing as a mother and songwriter. For maybe the first time in her life she’s looking forward, not backward.
