I am a Disco Ball.
in the shape of a shell
with whorls, those spirals, twirling round these (a)live shows with music
I write and sing and perform and create and produce
to explore the space in-between you and me.
One Voice, One Piano
New Album Alert :)
Original music and lyrics written over the course of moves, endings, playdates, beginnings, a pandemic, resurrections, the occasional cult, more beginnings, great romances with old/new versions of myself, myth making, and many moments of euphoric joy between 2020 and 2024.
The first song I ever wrote, "Eyes Closed," is here and the most recent song I wrote, "Slow Down," is here and there are many more to come, including a new musical cast album. I hope to be able to sing these to you live one day, as the present moment is where I most love to sing.
Christine is a writer, actress, singer, composer, inventor, producer, and bard creating experiences that ignite authenticity. With 4 original musicals, 7 original studio albums live on all digital platforms, and 2 trademarked live performance mediums, Christine performs in the US/EU with runs in the NY Theater Festival and shows in venues like lower Manhattan’s cabaret-club The Slipper Room, Time Square’s Haswell Green's, and Chelsea’s retro piano lounge Sid Gold’s. She has 3 shows in development each with a corresponding album within her production house and record label, Luck and Luster Productions, LLC.
Trademarking two live performance mediums – Playfilm™️(live theater/filmmaking alchemy) and PartyShow™️(live theater/education/live music/dance immersion alchemy) – Christine has a Masters in International Business, features in Bloomberg Businessweek / PRWeek for her past startups, and 10+ years of event production and execution for Fortune 500 companies alongside years of graphic design and artistic direction watering brands like the Los Angeles Times, Good Company, Lunchclub, and Fever. Christine combines her background of strategic execution with her passion for art creation in a multimedia library including a published and illustrated poem book on Amazon (Kid: A Teeny Book of Poems), multiple short films in association with a summer intensive filmmaking course at USC SCA in partnership with Disney, and her current art installation project “Jungle Fence” which combines film, set design, and original sense-memory soundscapes.
In 2024, Christine released two Playfilms™️alongside corresponding studio albums. “OH MY GODDESS” is a fully original disco-rock musical about Venus, The Goddess of Love, the un-talked-about villain in the myth of Cupid and Psyche (featured in amNewYork / Broadway World) which Christine plans to develop into a multi-cast Broadway musical set in Mt. Olympus’s glitzy gritty nightclub, Clams, as soon as the gods allow.
Her second Playfilm™️of 2024, “Solo Traveler,” is a blues-folk musical set at an airport pick-up curb and all about traveling within your own map. Both show albums and films are live on all digital platforms.
In Jan 2025, Christine released a jazz show/album called “Loved You More” currently playing in NYC. And, during the pandemic, Christine created a comedic-cabaret called “A Christine Carol” about meeting past personality ghosts alongside an instrumental/jazz album (NY Theater Festival / Hollywood Fringe 2020).
From 2021-2023, Christine was the lead singer and songwriter for rock ‘n’ roll band CAKE TOWER and Her Band of Gods.
Performing live, original shows with music is the main medium Christine cultivates as it combines her training in acting/ improv/ comedy/ singing with her background as a producer/ writer/ composer/ world-builder. Christine plans to continue to bring her imagination and art babies into spaces and stages around the world.
most dangerous villain in history of love - VENUS.
Listen to the album HERE.
ONCE UPON A MYTH, a clumsy-winged fairy hunk, Cupid, God of Desire, and a much-too-perfect mortal, Psyche, Goddess of Soul, were tripping into the first fairytale ever and igniting future love stories like Beauty & the Beast, The Little Mermaid, and The Notebook.
ENTER VENUS, Goddess of Love, stuck in a mid-immortal crisis of Self. Venus 100% doesn’t know what love is anymore and is struggling to revive her famed-but-tired love show at Clams in Mt Olympus from being canceled. When she hears everyone is calling Psyche the “New Goddess of Love” her ‘never-enough’ syndrome takes over with a vengeance. As Psyche begins her ascent into the heavens, Venus spirals further downward, getting dumped by ‘gas-lightning’ boyfriend Mars, God of War, who’s hot for Psyche, and finally being told by Clams’ management, Zeus, that Psyche will take over her Clams’ show in the new season.
OH MY GODDESS, that does it, Venus becomes the villain in the first fairytale ever. How embarrassing! Will she destroy all love stories and become the Goddess of Hate ever after?
In this sung-through rock ‘n roll disco hero’s journey, we follow our Goddess through the phases of self-discovery, her quest to understand this “power” assigned at birth, and the biggest challenge of existence — loving ourselves as we struggle to become our next Self.
THE FIRST EVER PLAY FILM EVER. Also my first solo/lady show EVER.
Watch A Christine Carol here.
Listen to the Official Playfilm Soundtrack here.
Watch a 30 minute hero’s journey as I meet all of my past personalities to remember my true self through original songs, dances, ta-daas & a surprise ending all about global supply chain management.
(It’s like A Muppet Christmas Carol only I play Michael Caine and Kermit and Marley’s and Bunny and and all the ghosts are also Me and my big ballad song isn’t “Love is Gone”… but it’s close. In summary, I’m A Christine Carol.)
“Experiences.
Those are what I’m chasing.
Let’s make something!”
