Christel was born in the Netherlands. At age ten, she taught herself to play the piano. In 2019 she discovered her passion for composing music. Although Christel has a love for many different music genres, the music she writes is mainly influenced by (neo)classical and cinematic music.

In 2021 she released her first album 'Watershed'. It is a collection of solo piano songs that reflect different moods. Whether it’s peaceful, uplifting, energetic, dramatic or epic, it’s always passionate. “I get really excited when I notice that my mood changes when I play a certain piece.”

‘Landslide’ is Christel’s second album. “I enthusiastically started writing new compositions for a new album. But I soon found myself in a difficult phase. Music is based on emotions and experiences and is always personal, so putting yourself out there feels very vulnerable. I felt like I wasn’t worth doing this, that I should give up. But at the same time, giving up didn’t feel right either. When I want to clear my mind I always take a walk in the woods near my house. There I like to listen to some music and admire the beauty in nature, using my imagination and fantasy. Sometimes I pretend God walks with me. During these walks I found new hope and inspiration. This album is about my journey through a ‘fairytale forest’. My journey of accepting these feelings without holding myself back, but to move forward instead.”
