Christine discovered her love for the piano at an early age, receiving classical training for several years. While earning a business degree at the University of Colorado, she was inspired by George Winston's new age genre of solo piano, but never studied music or composition. Years later, Christine rediscovered her passion for the piano, immersing herself in her music after the loss of her mother in 1990. She began composing, using the piano to voice her emotions, releasing heartfelt compositions that captured listeners.
Christine's piano style is a unique blend of new age/contemporary with a strong classical influence. Reviewers write, "A mixture of passion, exceptional playing chops and an abundance of grace consistently puts her music in a category of its own. . .the pieces express a wide range of emotions and experiences with depth, sincerity and an elegant touch." Inspired by her life experiences and emotions, Christine creates captivating music that tells a story. "Her music is vibrant, colorful and full of life. Skilled at the art of blending chords and note progressions into beautiful aural tapestries, her emotions come through her music ... and through her music she is able to reach out and touch the hearts of millions of appreciative piano music fans."
Today, Christine continues to perform and compose. Her music can be heard worldwide, featured on Pandora, Spotify, Whisperings Solo Piano Radio, Muzak, cable and satellite channels, Healing Healthcare Systems, and is also distributed worldwide by iTunes, CD Baby, Amazon and most major download sites. Christine currently resides in San Diego, California with her husband and two sons.
