Christine Shoshannah Dominguez is a Grammy nominated songwriter, award-winning vocalist (Best Singer/Vocalist Hudson Valley Magazine) and music producer from New York.
With roots deeply tied to her Christian background, she is a gospel singer and has always been captivated by lyrics and melodies. Christine Shoshannah began writing and singing songs at just three years old. In second grade, she picked up her first instrument, the violin, and by age fourteen, she was playing guitar, drums, bass, piano and trumpet with ease. It was clear at this young age that music would become more than just a hobby for her.
After doubling up on her workload, Christine graduated high school a year early to jump start her music career. She earned a bachelor’s degree in music production with a minor in foreign language from Bard College and produced several independently released albums before graduating.
However, one of her most notable accomplishments was co-writing Hayley Williams’ part on the award winning, 5x platinum hit song, “Airplanes” and the Grammy nominated follow up, “Airplanes Pt. II” recorded by B.o.B, Hayley Williams and Eminem. Christine was the vocalist on the original track that got picked up by Atlantic Records.
Christine’s talent has been featured on songs in collaboration with Slash from Guns N' Roses, Old Navy, Cheerios, Warner Chappell, Universal, Shroom Shady Music, Kidinakorner, Travie McCoy of Gym Class Heroes, College Humor, artwork by pop art icon Ron English and commercials on major television networks worldwide.
Building off of her success with songwriting, Christine broke into the world of music for film by co-writing and performing the theme song for the 10x award winning film, “Growing Up Fat & Albanian”. It went on to win 'Best Original Song' at Manhattan Film Festival.
Setting herself apart with her unique voice and musical writing style, Christine’s voice can best be described as soulful, dynamic and distinctive. Her style is primarily pop influenced by R&B, hip-hop and rock. She cites her musical influences as pop legends Whitney Houston, Justin Bieber, Mariah Carey and Hillsong United among others.
Christine has worked on many projects with talented artists and producers from around the world and also teamed up with Grammy award winning mastering engineer, Emily Lazar (Sia, Dave Grohl, David Bowie) at The Lodge in New York City to master her album. Soul Shake.
