Since her arrival in Music City, her versatile voice of 3 ½ octaves and love of all cultures have gained her entry into a wide array of musical situations, including appearances at various jazz festivals and venues in the US, France, Belgium, Sweden and China. Her Watson Utterstrom Nordic Quintet toured Sweden in the summer of 2007. Her new CD "A Flower Truly Blue" (now available on itunes and at cdbaby.com) features arranger Pat Coil on piano and B3, Jeff Coffin on sax, Oscar Utterstrom on trombone, Joe Gross on trumpet, Craig Nelson on bass, Bob Mater on drums, and vocalist Jeff Hall makes a guest appearance on "The World Is What You Make It." In 2004 she released her debut album “All About Love.” Christina sings soprano in the Nashville based vocal jazz quartet 3rd Coast Vocals. She teaches private voice lessons from her home studio and from Gene Ford Music in Brentwood, TN, and is an instructor of vocal literature and theory at the Nashville Jazz Workshop.

Christina BONJOUR. La musique est la langue des émotions. Je te souhaite une excellente écoute. Etre bon, c'est être en harmonie avec soi-même. La discorde, c'est être forcé à être en harmonie avec les autres. Tout est musique. Un tableau, un paysage, un livre, un voyage ne valent que si l'on entend leur musique. Olivier.
