Christine Anderson rocketed to indie stardom virtually overnight after leaking four live home-recorded tracks on the internet in August 2005.
With strategic online marketing, her fan base exploded, and soon radio stations began requesting her music, including Clear Channel's KISS FM. Now her website is receiving a whopping 150,000 hits a week, and her first single release "Hollywood Trainwreck" has spent twenty-one weeks at #1 on the Jones Soda Independent Music Chart. With her fan base growing by the day,
it didn't take long for two California clothing companies, Accentuate Clothing and AMP'D Apparel, to sponsor the star on the rise. Rockdogz Magazine has even named her the "Top Emerging Artist of 2006." Suddenly a hot commodity, Christine has been offered multiple record deals, including deals from major record labels.
While being signed to a big label is the dream of many artists, Christine wants to preserve the integrity of her art, and fears that signing with the wrong label could pose a threat to that integrity. "I'm not anti-label," she explains, "but I'm not interested in being signed just to be signed. A label has to offer me something I can't do for myself, and they can't expect me to water down my music and lyrics to be more commercial. I have a musical vision and I've created my own sound. " Right now, Christine is recording her debut studio album at Nightowl Studios where she has unlimited studio time and 100% artistic control of her material, luxuries label-owned artists, as a rule, go without. Thanks to her bubbly personality and model good looks, she has become a media darling and the subject of interest in magazines, newspapers and even on TV. In fact, MTV and MuchMusic ran special features on Christine that were seen by a total of 25 million viewers -- a nearly impossible feat for someone who isn't signed to a record label! Today, Christine uses modern technology to build her worldwide fanbase, and she keeps every penny of her record sales. A former computer programmer for The Brain Technologies Corporation, Christine is making music history has an internet pioneer. With plans to release her debut studio album in 2006, and a pending deal with iTunes, Christine remains "proudly, fiercely independent" for now. | |||||
