In 6th Class, Christine discovered the joy
of singing when she was asked to sing solo in the Christmas Operetta at
her final schools concert. However, by the tender age of 13 she had
developed a love of producing!

Christine became a professional singer/dancer as a
nineteen year old, working in Perth TV. As a band singer, she held
residencies at major hotels and then travelled around the WA countryside
performing at farming balls and social events. She returned to Sydney
and fine-tuned her producing/directing skills studying with Brian Syron,
Betty Williams (from NIDA), Sean Scully and Lynne Murphy. She also
learned radio skills with Amber May Cecil.

When Christine was offered an excellent residency at
the Sydney Hilton, she realised she needed some singing lessons. She
sought lessons with the best teacher at that time - Madame Mathy, and
found her advice to be enormously beneficial. Christine recently joined
the Joan Sutherland Society, which led to the Australian Singing
Competition reuniting her with Madame Mathy’s name.

Since a very young age, Christine has been passionate
about showcasing, nurturing, encouraging and grooming young talent. She
set up the Fish Music Awards and continues to own the
Christian Rock Eisteddfod which she has been producing for the past
nine years.

In collaborating with the Australian Singing
Competition, Christine continues to pursue her objective in
assisting young singers reach their true potential.
