Bio
.. ....FOR BOOKING AND INFO:...... ..Email Christie.... .. .. ........ ....2007 AMERICAN IDOL SONGWRITER FINALIST.... for "When You Need a Moment" out of 25,000 entries.... .... ...... .. ....2007 HONORABLE MENTION.... for "When You Need a Moment".... .. "Appealing theme and groove...nice chorus with hook." .. Billboard World Song Contest.. .. .. "A powerful, interesting, fresh chorus melody and lyric.".. TAXI, leading A&R company .. .. ....ABOUT CHRISTIE:...... .. She steps up to the mic and fearlessly pours her heart out right in front of you. Her honest, genuine songwriting is both uplifting and thoughtful, while her voice is powerful but unique. .. .. Christie was born and raised in Franklin, Massachusetts, where she started performing as a young child in local theatre groups and choir. Her father had a rock and roll band that rehearsed in the basement and she was the girl with her ear pressed to the door. It was during those early years she developed her love of classic sounds like country, rock and blues... .. Christie's first taste of songwriting was merely for fun, writing funny songs to entertain her younger sister, Candice, who has cerebral palsy. The two sisters were inseparable for most of their childhood, and shared an indescribeable bond. Candice is unable to walk or read or write, so the one thing she enjoys more than anything is music. In 2008, Christie organized a benefit for United Cerebral Palsy with the Pat McGee Band and raised $3000 for the cause. Candice was right in the front row as Christie's band opened the show... .. Christie's discography includes "The Viper Sessions" and "Live at Perks", both live acoustic CDs, as well as her "Strange Little Story" EP, which she released in 2005 with an impressive three week tour thru New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina and Florida. .. .. In 2007, after releasing her new EP "When You Need a Moment", Christie was given numerous accolades for her writing. The title track from the EP has gone on to become a finalist in the American Idol Songwriter Contest, Billboard World Song Contest and International Songwriting Contest, as well as being considered for various television placements... .. In 2003, with a marketing degree from Emerson College, Christie founded CNC Music Productions which still thrives today. CNC provides booking services for local and touring artists at Boston area venues, as well as corporate entertainment for casino clubs, weddings and corporate events. In 2007, Christie became Managing Partner of Big Night Promotions, which manages some of New England's most popular nightlife venues... .. In 2010, Christie began recording with Yan Perchuk and is working on a full-length release while seeking a publishing contract... .. .. ...... ..
