Christine Parker Music

Raised in Southern California, Christine Parker began playing piano at the early age of 4 when her parents noticed her affinity for all things music. She fell in love with songwriting as a teenager after composing her first song on the guitar, and continued to write and play music as she pursued education and a career in psychology. After realizing music and songwriting needed to become more center stage, Christine began playing venues while living in the midwest. Drawing on such musical influences as Colbie Caillat, Ingrid Michaelson, and Brandi Carlile, Christine won over crowds with her pure and soulful vocals and engaging lyrics. Her self-released debut EP, “The Journey Home,” was released in January 2012. Christine relocated back to Southern California in 2013 to focus on her music career, and the result was a full-length studio album, “Looking Glass,” arranged and produced by Marti Amado, released in October, 2013. Since then, Parker has focused heavily on songwriting and performing while also releasing a series of singles and live music videos. Her songwriting has also earned her several placements with various companies and TV networks including TLC, HBO, Jimmy Kimmel Live, and Mitsubishi Taiwan. In 2015, Parker also landed an endorsement with Breedlove Guitars. Parker kicked off 2016 with a 3-week tour from San Diego to Seattle performing at various venues and house concerts up the West Coast. She also spent 5 weeks in the UK creating a travel-based music video series entitled “The Chapel Sessions.” Teaming up with Breedlove Guitars and AEA Ribbon Microphones, Parker produced and filmed recording sessions in centuries old English churches using a single ribbon microphone and a GoPro. Later in the year, Parker ran a successful Kickstarter campaign to fund “Between You & Me,” her 3rd album release. Working with Austin-based producer Masen Larsen, the 5-song EP hit the airwaves on November 1st. “…The instrument that sells this disc (‘Looking Glass’) is Parker’s melodious voice, tinged with a wonderful whispered quality that makes you feel she’s confiding in the listener rather than singing at them.” -Bart Mendoza, San Diego Troubadour “As soon as I heard her first song, I jumped at the chance to work with her.” – Marti Amado, producer, San Diego, CA “Drawing from folk, country, urbane pop and jazz, the 11-song “Looking Glass” shows Parker to be an accomplished singer-songwriter whose understated music makes some of its biggest impact in its most quiet moments.” – George Varga, UT San Diego “Parker draws her influences from artists as varied as Norah Jones, Sarah McLachlan, and Alison Krauss, but to my ear the clarity and purity of her voice most closely resemble Joni Mitchell. “Looking Glass” is an auspicious debut.” – Mark Pulliam, San Diego Troubadour
