CHRISTINE HORN
does for soul music what a hit play does for Broadway. She enriches it by
expanding its boundaries. The Bronx, NY native brings theatrics to her music
that's unlike any seen from today's neo-soul performers. In an age where the
majority of R&B and nu-soul divas insist on giving good face as much as a
good show, Horn delights in exposing audiences to an emotionally charged
audio/visual performance that conjures up memories of the soul queens of the
past.
~ACTRESS~
It is her taste for the eclectic that drives Horn, both as a singer and
an actress. Her music runs the gamut of human
emotions. While effortlessly blending elements of R&B, Soul, Funk and Folk,
Christine uses her versatile voice to bathe you in good music.
~SINGER~
Horn's music theatrics stem from her exposure to the theater as a child. "My
mom always took me to go see plays and made it a point to expose me to so many
different things.”
~SONGWRITER~
While in high school, Horn became a major player in the Freddie Hendricks Youth Ensemble of Atlanta (YEA). Horn rapidly developed her acting skills at YEA and upon graduation, enrolled at the American Musical Dramatic Academy (AMDA) in New York City, where she immediately became a standout performer. At AMDA, Horn honed her skills in acting and musical theater. Horn's experiences in both YEA and AMDA exposed her to the mainstream theatrical scene. Christine has performed with the BROADWAY and both US National Touring companies of Disney’s“The Lion King” as Nala, Sarabi and in the Ensemble. Regional theatre credits include working with great directors at The Alliance Theatre, Jomandi Productions, Actor’s Express, Gainesville Theatre Alliance, Horizon Theatre &Seven Stages Theatre.
~"Acting is my
heart, but I love to sing."~
Horn's associations in the thespian community presented her with the
opportunity to hone her craft in the film world, where she has appeared in such
movies as “Stomp The Yard” starring Columbus Short, "The
Killer Next Door" starring Billy Dee Williams, "Jinx'd"starring Atlanta radio
personality Ryan Cameron & the soon to be released
feature, “Blood Done Sign My Name” starring Nate
Parker.
Although acting became Horn's first love, music was never far behind. "Acting is my heart, but I love to sing," Horn says. Christine’s chameleonic use of melody, language, dialect and drama enables her to touch those who are searching for that extra bit of enlightenment, individuality and entertainment in their music.
~"I'm still waiting on the role of a lifetime."~
Greetings everybody!
As you may or may not know I love talking and sharing stories with other actresses. It helps to hear from other people because I learn so much about the industry and how we all survive in it. A few months ago I was moved to start a podcast series that showcased actresses of color. I felt like a lot of the time “my story” was not being told or heard.
I created “Beyond The Shade: Celebrating Actresses of Color” as a podcast/website that can be used as a sort or bonding and mentoring platform. I have been blessed to be able to interview some very talented actresses of various nationalities. What I am finding is that at the end of the day, we all have very similar stories.
I encourage to listen ONLINE at www.beyondtheshade.com or via iTunes and SUBSCRIBE so that you never miss a beat.
These interviews are golden and enlightening. The will motivate you, make you think and open your eyes as to how you may or may not be contributing to this industry as an artist. Even if you are not in the biz…you will enjoy getting the inside scoop on some of the industry’s best.
Please pass this link on. Please leave your comments and thoughts. Thanks in advance for listening.
Beyond the shade of the industry and the shade of our skin, our stories WILL be heard!
Until next time…continue to GLOW and RADIATE the light that is YOU!
Peace,

Greetings from Los Angeles!
I haven’t written in a while…because I’ve been a bit busy. That’s good right? (smile)
I’m excited to announce that I’ve launched a new Vegan Cooking Show called “Wings To Weeds.”
It’s a family friendly show that teaches you how to make flavorful veggie dishes for you and your whole family. I’m here to squash the misconception that healthy food is nasty food. LOL
Please check out the show on my website: Wings To Weeds and also on YouTube.
Here is one episode that you can see, but there are plenty more. If you enjoy it or know someone who would be interested in watching it, I’d appreciate if you would share it, rate, subscribe or all of the above!
Thank you in advance for your support.
Until next time…continue to GLOW!

I filmed “Blood Done Sign My Name” several years ago and its been getting lots of love on tv and on Netflix. I was actually featured on BroadwayWorld.com for my role in the film.
Here’s a few pics from the set.
Have a great March everyone.

Greetings from Sin City!
I’ve been out of the loop lately…its because I’ve been in Las Vegas performing in “The Lion King.” This time around I’m in the ensemble and understudying the role of “Nala” (see pic.) So much fun. I’ll be here until January…then back to Hollywood!
I met Sindbad at a press event in Beverly Hills earlier this month. He was so funny and so nice.
A friend of mine found some old footage from a show I did back in 2006 in Atlanta. I thought you might enjoy. What were you doing in 2006?
