Born in Baltimore, MD on February 7, 1986, Christine Curtis was born to Adrienne G. Curtis and Raymond Manley. Being the younger of two old brothers, her life began very sheltered and protected, but that was soon to change. As soon as she was able to walk and coordinate her movements she was put into dance class. She danced with Flair Studios until she was old enough to decide not to go back, but she still found her way to a stage even if she weren’t dancing. Through singing at church and local talent shows she realized that what she wanted to do the most was sing and make music. After a custody battle, Christine was sent to live with her father in Baltimore County and that is where her journey with music began. When she was just a child at the tender age of 9 she moved with her father. She started using the voice recorder on her father's stereo and recorded many songs. She had no idea then that music would follow her through her entire life.
She danced all the way through high school, but she still grabbed a microphone whenever possible. Whether it were for a middle school showcase, or a high school senior farewell, or fashion show, she was there singing. She started working towards her dreams seriously at the age of 13. She started first with a childhood friend and together they formed a duet then after meeting their previous manager, they formed a group. She found herself being the main writer of the group. They performed at talent shows hosted by Coppin State College and talent shows held at Security Square Mall, gaining a taste of the real world and learning the necessities to becoming good performers. When that group fell apart she joined another local group entitled Madison at the age of 15 and stayed true to the group until that groups time ended also. After finally attempting a solo career, she decided to take some time off and felt she needed to grow. She knew that if music were meant for her then she would try again.
At 22 years old, every Monday night she would sing at a karaoke bar and she would be asked if she had a demo or a manager. Having neither she took the cards and prepositions that were given as a sign that it was time to get back to her first love. In the middle of her first semester back at school she was laid off from work not too much later after being robbed. Both these tragedies gave her insight and she took as a blessing, for her lay off gave her free time to record. The first day she stepped in the studio, her experience put into one word was “indescribable”. That small spark lit an immense fire and it has not died down ever since. Now much wiser and stronger, having been though tears and troubled times, seeing loved ones die, and friends fall victim to tragedies, but being able to come through every obstacle victorious, she is ready to share her love and gift with the world.
What does she aspire to do? Inspire someone else and bring music back to the heart and into its purest form. She wants to let the world see her story and be able to find their way into their own. Her music will not only invite the audience into her world, but it will ask for the hands of her listeners to allow her music into their world. "I feel that life has given me so much to say that once my music has reached the masses, it will never be the same. Real music is needed and I am ready to bring it back to its grassroots. To a place where music is timeless, heart wrenching, and life changing." Her time is now. Ready or not, she is here….
