Through Music
LOS ANGELES, April 8, 2008 -- Chantel "Chani" Christie,
daughter of NBA power couple, Doug and Jackie Christie, is set to release
her second Pop single titled "Planet Disco" for the independent label, Jean
Rah Fya Records. This second single was produced by Curtbeatz Productions
and will be released on April 10, 2008. Chani's highly anticipated album,
"My Dream" is set to be released worldwide on June 1, 2008. Lastly, Chani
has been announced as the National Youth Spokesperson for YMCA.
"While creating the track for planet disco, I thought about the future
of music, and where I wanted to see it go," says producer CurtBeatz. At the
age of 22, CurtBeatz has worked with many talented artists. Chani says,
"when I first heard the track to Planet Disco I thought immediately, I have
to do this song! It has great energy and worldwide appeal. Being only 14, I
can use my imagination when I sing it."
Chani's music is taking the industry by storm. She has been featured in
the March issue of Celebrity High Magazine. In addition, she will grace the
upcoming cover issue for Urban Teen Magazine. Also a cover story in the
Orlando Sentinel newspaper featured this talented teen and commented on her
maturity and how Chani is making a difference with her ambassadorship as
the United States youth ambassador for HIV/AIDS. She is also featured on a
vast number of online music and talent websites. She has performed and
hosted several events including the 'Music Smash 2008' in Los Angeles,
California. Her record label, Jean Rah Fya Records, put on Music Smash to
bring young talent together in the community and bring awareness to the
importance of staying in school and being a good person and role model.
Chani has costarred on "Committed: The Christie's" reality television show
currently on BETJ.
Recently releasing her first video, titled "Here We Are Again," she got
the opportunity to work with director Rick Kleinsmith of Pet Project
Productions. "Chani is a breath of fresh air and a producer's dream. She is
great to work with because of her versatility as a singer," said Ralph
Stacy, producer of her first single. Additionally, this 14 year old singing
sensation is featured on the rising teen group "Small Change" debut single
titled "Be Shy," which also features Yung Joc. This single is already
garnering play on Atlanta's hot radio station V103 FM.
Chani has a passion to lead youth across the world as a positive role
model. Chani will tour the Unites States inspiring youth from all walks of
life and through her music she hopes to inspire all youth to follow their
dreams. "Being able to share my music with so many of my peers has been the
best part of my music career so far. I am excited about my new ventures and
working with kids across the globe," says Chani.
