Christine Jane is a singer songwriter from Sydney, Australia. Acting, singing and songwriting since childhood, she has appeared in numerous theatre and television shows.

Writing since the age of ten, Christine Jane cites a diverse range of influences including Neil Finn, Beck, K.D. Lang, Feist, Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra.

Christine Jane has performed her original music since 2012 when she released her debut EP 'Sinners Come & Go'. A recording of songs she describes as 'cinematic blues', the record features her contempories Jack Moffitt from The Preatures and Eliot Fish from Big Heavy Stuff.

She has performed at venues including The Surry Hills Festival, The Seymour Centre, The Toff In Town (Melb), The Queen Victoria Building, The Wharf, The Factory Theatre, Hive Bar, The Basement, The Sydney Opera House and is a regular at Red Light Confidential - a monthly night of burlesque, music, magic and more at The Colombian Hotel, Sydney.

Christine has made music for short films and television. In 2011 she became one third of much lauded Australian folk-pop band The Apartments and went on tour to release their single 'Black Ribbons' (as heard LIVE on FBi radio).

Her follow up release 'Make Believe' is an acoustic single and was launched at FBi Social in June 2013. She gave the song away for free through Bandcamp.

In August 2013 Christine Jane was chosen as one of the Top 5 Sydney finalists in the band competition EXHUMED for ABC radio, TV and online, performing a sold out show at The Basement.

The title track from her debut EP is currently featured on the LA filmed web series 'Low Life' - a comedy about depression.

In 2014 Christine Jane completed a post grad certificate in screen music at The Australian Film Television and Radio School.

Christine single-handedly raised $10,000 by crowd-funding to record her debut album, which is due out in 2015. During the crowd-funding process she was interviewed by numerous community radio stations and newspapers.
