Christie-Anne Blondeau was barely 4 when the passion for singing and rhythm took hold of this unstoppable singer. Born in a small francophone village of Saskatchewan, Christie-Anne Blondeau had no idea she could sing in different genres therefore she followed her surroundings. She was always ‘different’ when she sang with others in her younger years. She was louder, prouder and braver when she had a microphone in her hand. To this day, the stage is her safe place and with microphone in hand (sometimes a mic is not even required because of the strength of her voice!), she takes command and brings you with her on her musical journey.
