Versatile guitar singer with a wide repertoire, sure to charm your guests. My style of singing is smooth, sweet and soulful, and I like to tailor my set to each occasion, so my song choices are varied. I perform in a solo (guitar or backing tracks) and duo (pianist or guitarist with myself on vocals) setting.
A bit more about me:
Christine is a singer of French-Brazilian origin, and has been actively working on the London music scene for 3 years. Her vocal style is influenced by women in modern Jazz and Soul such as Esperanza Spalding, Gretchen Parlato, Erykah Badu and Lianne LaHavas. She is currently an in-demand function musician, mostly as a solo guitar-vocals performer, but also as a singer for 4 active bands and duos. Notable performances include her stint on The World (private residential superyacht), performing for the New Zealand High Commissioner at Carlton House Terrace, and venues such as 34 Mayfair, Accor Hotels, and a weekly residency for LSQ rooftop bar. In addition to her busy function work, Christine is also a solo artist who writes and records her own music under YOLERA.
