BACKGROUND

Christine Renner is a born and raised Austin singer/songwriter and recording artist.  She started her recording career at the age of 13. She recorded her first album “Something Real” with a small record label out of Oklahoma City. In 2017 she self-produced her next release:  The EP “Explore” which brought her local attention in Austin and beyond. 

Christine connected with local Grammy-nominated producer Chris “Frenchie” Smith (Toadies, Greg Rolie, Jackie Vincent) and music director Einar Petersen (Kelly Clarkson, Bruce Hornsby, The Fray) to record her next two EP releases, the radio-friendly “Tonight” and “Heartbreaker” both of which garnered local and national radio airplay, being featured on KUTX - NEED MORE RADIO LETTERS 

The single “Tonight” was picked up on several Spotify playlists and has generated over 11,000 streams.  She has been featured as a guest artist on several Austin television stations including KVUE, KXAN, and CBS.
