Singing guitarist

Montreal

I have had residencies at the 5-star Shangri-La and Fairmont Elizabeth hotel lounges in Toronto and Vancouver and played the Toronto Jazz Festival as a solo act on Spanish guitar and vocals, singing romantic jazz standards, Brazilian bossa nova, Cuban bolero, Mexican mariachi songs as well as chanson française, pop, rock and R&B classics from the Great American songbook. I have been playing for over 25 years and was honoured to receive a Gemini Award for my portrayal of Celine Dion in a movie about her life. I am also a singer/songwriter with a self-titled album on Spotify.

5 out of 5

Smooth voice Christine was personable and mingled with all our guests. She had such an incredible range of voice. She sang in Portuguese, Spanish, French and English without an accent. We were mesmerized by her voice! Services Provided: Bossa Nova Band, Jazz Singer, Singing Guitarist Rating: 5 out of 5

Everyone was in awe! Christine was the vocalist and guitar player for our wedding, accompanied by Tom at the organ and Eve at the violin. They learned close to 10 hymns in Spanish and Italian to make our wedding ceremony exactly as we wanted it. We recommend them highly for their talent, dedication and human approach. You won't be disappointed! Reviewer: Laura Cicciarelli Event Date: June 10th, 2023 Services Provided: Choir, Singing Guitarist Rating: 5 out of 5
