Christine Horn is a multifaceted artist with a heart for inspiration that takes center stage. Her journey commenced in the heart of the Bronx, New York. There was no grand audience then, just her vivid imagination and boundless passion. "I used to play with my friends and create my own late-night talk shows and pretend to be the host," Christine recalls. The stage was set even if it was her bedroom, and her love for performing began to bloom.
Christine's mother played a pivotal role in shaping her artistic spirit. "She took me to the theater all over New York City," Christine reminisces. They'd share the enchantment of classic movies and explore the magic of live performances. It was during a visit to the musical Mama I Want to Sing that a young girl on stage captured Christine's heart. "I knew that was a confirmation that I could do it too," she says.
