"Satin, silk, lace, all topped with Christine's delightfully charming voice - a perfect soprano. Slinky, soft, sultry, sweet but never crossing the line of too much...her soaring, pure soprano reaches across any boundary like a warm, comforting hand and pulls you into the song...Christine has a magical purity to her voice that is truly angelic." - Annette Conlon, Eden Automatic
"Christine has managed to combine both Pop and Jazz to create an album that is truly her own. "Ring of Fire" has a Latin influenced feel and shows her vocals as almost sensual...this new talent has managed to keep the tradition of the old, while still able to create an album that is fresh with new style and flair." -Jessica Dailey, Evolution Of Media.
My debut CD, The Love I Feel, was originally pressed on a small scale as a fundraiser for families in my community with seriously ill children and cancer patients. Since its release in 2006, I am so thrilled digital sales have gone world wide, extending my fundraising efforts over 4 continents.
Creating The Love I Feel was a wonderful experience for me and I hope it will touch the heart strings of those who listen. Working with a team of dedicated, industry veterans from around the world truly was a blessing.
To learn more about me, please feel free to visit my website to read
my
professional biography or my
personal story behind the music.
Since the CD release (with a little help from some friends) I have continued to focus my creative energies toward helping others. In September of 2006,
Nature's Rhapsody, a line of natural body products and herbal tea was launched. Through Nature's Rhaposody, my CD, and
Zazzle sales, I hope to raise $20,000.
All proceeds are divided between The Kelly Anne Dolan Memorial Fund and The Breathing Room Foundation, two organizations that aid families with terminally ill children and cancer patients. To learn more about my

Thanks so much for your support!
For The Love Of Music!
