English

Christianne will proudly tell you, and constantly remind you, that she is from Blind River. A Native, English and French Canadian town in Northern Ontario, one of Blind River’s other claims to fame is a mention in a Neil Young song. With not much else to do, Christianne sang at church and at local fairs, quickly learning the piano and guitar to accompany her distinctive voice. From her earliest intimations, she believed passionately in the power of words. When pressed by her heavy-metal loving friends why she listened to Bob Dylan, she’d reply: “at lease he’s trying to say something.”

In the course of a human life, most of us will experience the lost and found of a break up. Christianne’s just happened to be when she was 3000 kilometers away from home. She packed her bags, got on a plane, and came back to Canada. Having travelled and lived abroad since she left University, she came home confused and dispirited, or as some may see it, in a prime creative state. Within nine months, she had written, recorded and launched her first album, Doomsday Lovers, released in September of 2008.

With songs sung in French, English and a little bit of Spanish, Doomsday Lovers can be categorized as world-music inspired folk, made pungent with Middle Eastern, African and Latin Flavours. Nereida Fernandes for Exclaim! Magazine raves: “ Emphatic and mellifluous, emotions leak from her vocals and spill over like tears from clenched eyelids; the same can be said about her songwriting. In fact, listening to the entirety of her impressive first record is a privilege.” And there’s more to come!

Now signed to Montreal based label Québec Nu-Jazz, Christianne continues to promote the album extensively, playing shows throughout Ontario, and Québec. She is currently based in Ottawa/Montreal, working on her second album projected for late 2010.

“Here is a young woman who has faith, who believes in the importance of words. Christianne is an ardent defender of multiculturalism and multilingualism and it translates into an incredible work of art. This is an artist who is engaged and still believes art can transform our society in positive ways.”

-Line Boily, CBC Radio

 

 

Français

Christianne vous annoncera et vous répètera avec fierté qu'elle a grandi à Blind River, au nord de l'Ontario, dont sa seule occasion de gloire pour cette petite communauté survint lorsque Neil Young la mentionna dans une de ses chansons.  Très jeune, Christianne aimait chanter et appris à s'accompagner au piano et à la guitare.  Aussi, d’un très jeune âge,  elle avait développé une appréciation  pour la puissance  des  mots.  Lorsque ses amis, fans de musique heavy-metal, s’amusaient à savoir  pourquoi elle écoutait plutôt du Bob  Dylan, elle répondait "dû moins, lui, il tente de dire quelque chose!"

Au courant d'une vie, la plupart d'entre nous vivons l'expérience difficile d'un amour brisé.  Pour Christianne, cette expérience lui arriva en Colombie à 3000 kms de la maison.  Elle dû donc faire baggage et rebrousser chemin au Canada.  Ayant voyagé et vécu à l'étranger depuis son départ universitaire, elle rentra au pays confuse et découragée, ou plutôt comme le diront certains, en plein état de manie créative.   En l'espace de 9 mois, elle avait composé, enregistré et lancé son premier disque intitulé Doomsday Lovers (septembre, 2008).

Cet album offre des chansons françaises, anglaises, le tout parsemés d'espagnol.  Doomsday Lovers peut être catégorisé comme de la musique mondiale inspirée de tendances folks et enrichie de nuances africaines, latinos et arabiques, récoltées lors de ses voyages.  Nereida Fernandes de la revue Exclaim! proclame:  "C’est un privilège que d’écouter en entier ce premier album impressionnant".  Et ce n'est pas tout.  Il en reste beaucoup à venir.

Sous-signée avec l'étiquette Quebec Nu-Jazz de Montréal, Christianne continue de promouvoir ce premier album, jouant des shows en Ontario et au Québec.  Elle habite présentement Ottawa/Montréal et travaille sur son deuxième album prévu pour la fin 2010.

"Voici une jeune femme qui a de la foi, et qui croit dans l'importance des mots.  Christianne est une ardente défenseur du multi-linguisme et du multi-culturalisme et ceci se traduit dans une oeuvre artistique incroyable.  Christianne est une artiste engagée qui croit encore que l'art peut transformer la société de façons positives". 

Line Boily, CBC

Hey Christianne! I remember seeing you play back in high school and you were always so talented. I see you've only grown and matured as an artist, as your new songs are just incredible. Keep on doing what you're doing, it'll work out for you. :)
