WHO IS Christine VanHoy . . .
Big7 Records Recording Artist and
WINNER – New Music Weekly’s “Best New Country Artist – 2007”
Two #1 Hits on New Music Weekly - "Life Is Good" and "I Don't"

Along with having a very full life with a family and career, Christine VanHoy has been entertaining a variety of musical audiences from the east coast to the west coast since her early teens. Christine has been the lead singer and guitarist in an all female rock band, fronted a pop/jazz/rock 10-piece band complete with full percussion and horn sections, been a member and soloist in numerous church choirs, and had a solo career – just the guitar and voice doing country and folk. She has performed in “hot spot” nightclubs from Boston to San Francisco, military bases, large auditoriums and concert halls, town halls and smoky bar rooms. Her music is a wonderful blend of all her musical influences and life experiences, woven into stories that touch other people’s hearts and minds. Now Christine is setting out to make a lifelong dream come true – to become a recording artist as well as a singer/songwriter and performer.
“I have learned through my volunteer work with the American Cancer Society and Relay For Life, to live each day to its fullest. So the time to record my songs is now - today! It’s never too late to go after your dreams (that’s a shout out to everyone, but especially to you Baby Boomers). And my new motto, which I saw on a bumper sticker in Nashville is: “Destined to be an old woman with NO regrets.”
Christine believes that music is the universal language. That it’s a perfect way to express all emotions through lyrics that send messages and tell stories and through the music itself. “Country music has a truth and realism to it that makes it a joy to sing.”
Christine is thankful every day for having a wonderful and supportive husband, two amazing daughters, and lots of family and friends. “Thank you to each of you for the role you have played in my life, for your encouragement and for believing in me. Thank you to Lyric and Jaylee for bringing out the kid in me.”
One of Christine’s favorite philosophies in life is that the answer is always no if you don’t ask. So she’s asking – “do you like my music?” We hope so. We believe that this songbird was meant to fly.
