While growing up in Guelph Ontario, Christine would come home after school everyday and sing along to Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash records. She knew at a very young age that she would grow up to become a singer/songwriter. Her influences now include the music of Natalie Merchant, John Hiatt, Sting and Emmylou Harris.

Christine started as the lead singer in a high-energy band Quarter Moon, later to be re-named The Barncats. The band enjoyed radio success in Europe and toured across Canada all through the 90's.

Out of a two year retirement from life on the road came some of the material for "Beautiful Life", Christine wrote 9 out of 11 songs on her debut CD. "Beautiful Life" is an intimate musical expression inspired by her personal experiences over the past few years. She has emerged as a song craftsman with plenty of pop smarts, which has earned her a broad and loyal following. Christine teamed up with the talented songwriter/guitarist Steve Hogg for a couple of co-writes and as co-producer.

Christine was featured in a TV series on the Women's Network in January 2003, also on CTV, CKCO TV, Rogers TV, City TV, CFCF in Montreal and appeared in a one hour CBC special. She is a spokesperson for the SPCA "Animal Voices" to raise awareness for the Humane Society. The SPCA commercial features "Amber's Song" from "Beautiful Life", a song Christine wrote for her yellow lab/golden retriever.
