Биография

The soundtrack to Christine Rosander’s life started before she was born, her mother a piano teacher and singer, pregnant with her when she was a voice major in college. Those early lessons must have reached the womb, because today, with the release of the appropriately titled BEEN A LONG TIME, Christine fulfills a promise hinted at early on. Commitment, dedication, and the ongoing inspiration shared by all her mentors, reside at the heart of this album, graced by Christine’s emotive vocals and superior song craft. Blending the emotional eloquence of Carole King and the storytelling prowess of Jackson Browne and James Taylor, it shares her heartfelt sentiments in ways that are both eloquent and engaging. The title track itself resonates simply and succinctly, a touching testimonial to those who offered their wisdom as she traversed her life’s journey. Rosander grew up in Elk Grove, California. She learned to sing from her mother and began soloing in church and studying classical piano at age four. Later, she earned a bachelor’s degree in Vocal Performance and Commercial Composing and Arranging from Cal State Long Beach. She went on to become the first vocalist to receive a master’s degree in Jazz Studies from USC. In 2007 she co-wrote and produced the debut solo album Smooth Ride, which earned her “Independent Vocalist of the Year” from the Los Angeles Music Awards. Currently, Rosander lives in Los Angeles working as a professional singer, musician and songwriter.
