Acoustic Samples, Realistic Sample Libraries

When hearing Christina Friis’ music, if you allow yourself, you will be transported through ALL the different emotional landscapes. Whether the song reminds you of the universal connection, a lost love or life’s quirky moments, you will find yourself in the music. “That’s what it’s all about,” says Christina. “Music is a kind of spiritual journey. When letting the inspiration flow through you and you can experience these emotions with others, barriers are broken down and there’s a feeling that we are all made up of the same stuff! This is what drives me to make and share music.”

Christina grew up in a tiny village on the outskirts of Copenhagen in Denmark listening to her parents’ folk and pop records. Her dad built a swimming pool from scratch to the sound of her voice coming from the balcony, as she sang along with the same LP records over and over. The lyrics were often in French, English, or Swedish, which was the seed of inspiration for her to later become fluent in those and three more languages.

In 2002, Christina came to New Orleans for the first time by way of a Joni Mitchell fan gathering in Woodstock, New York. Of her first time in the Crescent City, she vividly recalls “a crazy and inspiring time living with an eccentric artist and cruising around the French Quarter in a limo driven by a musician friend while playing music and sipping cocktails in the back.” She soon started developing her own artistic expression co-writing with local songwriters among which were Jim McCormick, who has since written songs for several grammy-award winning artists, including Tim McGraw and Trisha Yearwood.

In 2005, Christina was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and had to return to Denmark for surgery and treatment. Her vocal cords as well as her physical and mental balance took a hit and while going through intensive voice training, she decided to finish a degree in Spanish and American studies, while her voice gradually got stronger. In the spring of 2012 as her health had fully stabilized, she returned to New Orleans with a suitcase full of life experiences to write about and a voice ready to SING! 

At the time of her return, Christina knew that she wanted to form a musical partnership and further explore the world of co-writing that she had begun during her last Big Easy experience. This collaboration came about when she called Chris Adkins to play guitar with her at a gig at the Hermes Bar (Antoine’s Restaurant). Their first rehearsal turned into a songwriting session, and what Christina describes as a “dream musical partnership” was formed. With a similar taste in music, their song style has developed into one that can be described as (but is not limited to): Adele meets Aretha Franklin meets Bonnie Raitt, all with a touch of Joni Mitchell, naturally. The genre is simply “soulful pop”.

Christina is currently planning the recording of her debut album and is in the process fine-tuning the songs to be recorded, while planning to do some live shows with a full band in New Orleans. In the late Fall of this year, she will go in the studio with a stellar line-up of musicians. A collaboration agreement with a producer who’s worked with many grammy-award artists is also in the works!
