“Music is the only thing in my life that, even today,
makes me the happiest.” – Christine Martucci
Christine Martucci got wrapped up in music at an early age. Born into a musical family, her and her brothers learned to play multiple instruments as kids. She attributes this passion to her father, a trumpet player, and it was this love for music that tightly bonded the family together. “Because of my childhood and being brought up around music,” says Christine, “I learned to appreciate it, to really start listening to the songs, the lyrics, the hooks, the meat and potatoes of a song, what made it unique.” She started writing her own original material when she was nine years old, and she hasn’t stopped since.
Christine still cites her father as her biggest influence, but from there she goes on to list a variety of artists she has been taking pointers from for years. Whether it’s classic rock (the Beatles, Bob Dylan), jazz and rhythm and blues (Bessie Smith, Howling Wolf), or Motown (Gladys Knight, Aretha Franklin), she takes the best of all her influences and molds them into a style that is all her own, one that is honest and refreshing, one you can feel as much as you can hear.
“I like to describe my music as real, soulful rock and roll,” she says. “It is the same on my CD as you will hear at my live shows. I feel that is very important, to keep the same feel live as you do in the studio. So if you haven’t been to one of my shows, it is a full-blown party of fun and emotion, and 150 percent of me. I never hold back in my live show, because fans deserve the best of me, and I try not to disappoint.”
Right now, Christine and her band are putting on shows in support of the sophomore album, I’m All In. They will also be releasing the album’s first single, “There You Are,” to radio before the album hits the streets. “Our ultimate goal is to have a very successful album, to really set a new standard in the industry,” says Christine. “I want to do this for the rest of my life…I guess any one of us just wants to do what we love to do for as long as we can and make a comfortable living doing it.”
