About Me |
|
|
My name is Christine Anderson and I am a pianist, singer-songwriter and composer. The songs I have up currently are from a little home recording I made in my living room called Live Summer Session. I recorded the whole album (17 tracks and 47 minutes of music) live in one take, using some old lyric ideas and making up the music as I went along. Like everything I play, these songs are inspired originals and each is a little slice of my soul. Thanks to the overwhelming success of Live Summer Session, which launched my career and garnered some international critical acclaim, I'm recording a studio album at Gregg Karukas' Nightowl Studios, coming in 2008! If you like the songs on my MySpace profile, please visit my website to pick up a copy of my CD. My website samples a good selection of the tracks (about 15 minutes of the 47 minute album) but it's nothing like listening to the whole CD from start to finish, the way I played it in my living room that day - just me, the piano, and the inspiration.

Music:Member Since: 8/2/2004Band Website: christineanderson.net Band Members: Christine Anderson Piano, Vocals, Songwriting Influences: Beethoven, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Chopin, Schubert. Old musical feature films like Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music. Broadway show tunes. The Beatles. Old school David Bowie. Old live recordings by Billy Joel and Elton John. Classic Rolling Stones. Sounds Like: "Golden voiced Christine Anderson is a world class pianist and composer, who rolled up her sleeves one day and showed the world what she was made of on Live Summer Session. This stunning live debut is as raw and real as music gets, a spectacular specimen of pure musicality, stripped down to a bare bones duet between Anderson’s heavenly pipes and possessed by Beethoven piano playing. Her ability to improvise like a jazz player and compose much of her music on the fly reveals not only a confident player of consequence, but a champion songwriter with a very bright future." - MUSIC CONNECTION Hot New Artist To Watch, 2007 "The street buzz on Christine Anderson is red hot right now, thanks to a live home recorded album has become one of the biggest surprise hits of the indie music year. The infectious melody of her bittersweet anthem ’Hollywood Trainwreck’ is sweetening up the airwaves as it racks up spins at a growing number of FM radio stations across the US, giving the young singer-songwriter her first taste of crossover success." - ROCKDOGZ MAGAZINE Top 40 Emerging Artists of 2006" issue "The brave risks Christine Anderson takes in her music are wildly successful in their payoff to the listener! ’Hollywood Trainwreck’ is intensely personal and sensual in the way that Joni Mitchell, Shakira and Sheryl Crow come across in their songs. Rock strong in 2006!" - JASON DIDNER MySpace Music Review, 2006 "There is no question if the record has a hit single - only how many. A profound body of work, each song is equally strong and brilliant. Beyond spotlighting Anderson’s heartbreaking voice and tremendous piano skills, Live Summer Session marks the rise of an outstanding new songwriter in the vein of old time John Lennon and Paul McCartney, with chops you don’t hear on records by Fiona Apple or Tori Amos. Enchanting and original, Live Summer Session establishes a serious, versatile artist..." - DISCOVER MUSIC Artist Spotlight & CD Review, 2006 "Extraordinary. Magnificent. Christine Anderson’s astonishing instrumental abilities were enough to make me do a double take, but add to that her beautiful voice, the depth of her lyrics, and the kind of hooks that hits are made of. She’s the female John Lennon meets Billy Joel." - ARTIST INTERVIEW MAGAZINE The Rise of The Next Great Piano Diva, 2006 "Pianist and singer-songwriter Christine Anderson is the latest artist to burst onto the LA music scene, having won the 13th Annual Los Angeles Music Award for Composer of the Year this Thursday, following a unanimous decision by a panel of industry judges. With a preternatural gift for indelible melodies and soulful storytelling, it is Anderson’s unique fusion of classical masterpiece, crafty piano pop, and provocative lyric that sets her apart from thousands of other talented musicians, and has her poised to bridge an uncharted gap between the sounds of the great concerts halls, Broadway, and pop radio." - LOS ANGELES MUSIC AWARDS Composer of the Year Press Release, 13th annual LAMA Record Label: Proudly, fiercely independent. Type of Label: None |
