Growing up, she would spend hours at a time locked in her room writing, recording, and singing to her favorite songs. She won and competed in several county and state talent competitions. She moved to Miami where she modeled and got involved in television and film projects like "Lawless", "Striptease", "Saved By The Light", "Gone Fishing", and "Something About Mary".

She traveled to Istanbul, Turkey to work on a television show and was given the opportunity to contribute some of her time to charitable work. Returning back home, she eventually made her way on to Star Search and was a finalist in the spokesmodel competition. Christi later moved to Los Angeles where she worked on shows like “Days of our Lives”, “Jenny McCarthy Show”, and “Pensacola”, although she realized she missed doing what her true passion was, which was singing and writing music. She began focusing more on her music with the encouragement of those around her. She sang for writers and then later began co-writing with them. Christi met longtime friend and collaborator Tom Fletcher, whom with she wrote and recorded her first album. The album had a bit more pop rock direction than the blues, country and southern rock influence she had focused on prior. She was recognized as AOL's ARTIST OF THE WEEK in November 2002, then offered a spot to Showcase at the Nashville Music Conference, which hosted industry reps and wonderful talent from all around the world. This was her first taste of Nashville. It was then that Christi realized that her heart and her songwriting most belonged in country music. Christi put together songs that she had written as well as tunes from other accomplished writers, and began working at American Recording in Calabasas, CA., and with the collaborations of Ritchie Podolor, Bill Cooper, and all of the amazing musicians that were involved; Christi recorded an album that she was proud of. Nashville has become more home to her, or better yet, maybe it's brought her closer to home, but she still writes and records in LA quite a bit. She's finally found her place. Christi feels at home with Country Music and hopes that Country Music and Country fans feel the same. With her passion for performing and songwriting, Christi wants to be able to contribute to the beauty, excitement and poetry that country music offers. |
