Christine Elise
For adult contemporary music artist Christine Elise, a life in music was clearly in the cards. The granddaughter of Italian opera singer Luigi Vena (performed at the wedding and funeral of President John F. Kennedy), Christine was influenced early on by the likes of Anne Murray, Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. Since then, she has delved into a myriad of genres and has developed her unique intimate vocal style with a sound that encompasses both innocence and sultriness.
Christine’s debut album, Take My Breath Away features an easy listening mixture of her original music and cover songs, including the album’s title track, as well as popular classics: “What a Wonderful World”, and “Ain’t No Sunshine”.
Charu Suri
Pianist and composer Charu Suri treads fearlessly between genres, pulling global influences that range from the mood-anchoring Indian ragas, Sufi music, to the trio. Her ground-breaking albums, The Book of Ragas, and its sequel, The Book of Ragas vol. 2 have often elicited the response, "I've never heard this type of sound before."
Her last album, RAGAS & WALTZES has received a lot of praise from critics and reviews in magazines like JAZZIA and All About Jazz. "The New American Songbook" has garnered many awards, including a "Band Single of the Year" crystal trophy for her song, Bluesy, awarded by the International Singer-Songwriters Association (ISSA) in 2021.
Charu has performed at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall and other prestigious concert halls around the world.
