Bob Hales VMA President: "Her pitch is immaculate and it has been a long time since I heard someone sing a ballad so beautifully and at a perfect jazz tempo".

Shelly Charleston Sunstream Arts & Entertainment: "Her music is elegant and intimate, a tender waltz in front of a warm fire, a rich merlot whose flavor is enhanced by the ambient glow of candlelight".

Elaine Taylor, Bowen Island Undercurrent: Christie's voice carried us on a sonic journey with its exquisite depth and range, by turns intimate, playful, haunting, mesmerizing. This remarkable voice was supported by instrumental grooves that were equally stunning".

A Fan: "I too lost my mother and brother recently. I realize I am still in the grieving process for your song made me cry. Thank you for the realization that there is always a gift along with sorrow".

Late Bloomer

Each one , whether whispered,, huskily crooned or full- on belted, forms a vibrant image of a versatile woman who has come into her own.
