About Kristine
"Dreams can lie buried in the sands of time only to reappear when we least expect them. They will not die until we have either wrestled them down or finally allowed them to go free?"
After years of trying to suppress the desire for music in exchange for a ?safe? career, singer-songwriter Kristine Seelye realized being true to your dreams is crucial to understanding yourself. She now brings her insight and musical passion to her new CD ?Waiting to Be Found?. Fusing pop-rock with a twinge of country and a healthy dose of singer-songwriter introspection, ?Waiting to Be Found? is a simple yet poignant collection of songs that explore the need in all of us to embrace our dreams and truly live them.
With two 2006 Top 10 FMQB National Radio Airplay singles, songwriting honors from Nashville?s Embassy Music, a Michigan Merit Award for Petersen Productions, Inc. through an original music video, and years of performing and positive reviews, Kristine is stepping out to live those dreams. Her innate passion for life translates itself through the keys of her piano and the warmth of her voice, embracing and drawing you into her world.
Beginning her music career at a young age, Kristine developed a great love for music through her culturally rich hometown in Northern Michigan and gifted music instructors who mentored and encouraged her. She participated in the typical outlets of church and school choirs and musicals, playing with an active contemporary church band and with National Award winning Jazz and Concert bands in High School. Her talents earned her a scholarship to Interlochen Arts Academy Summer Camp, and eventually saw her playing live in Mexico, the Ukraine, Israel and on Radio RRM in Poland. Kristine also taught high school German and was an exchange student to Germany.
Often compared to Sarah McLachlan, Carly Simon, Sheryl Crow or Jimmy Webb, Kristine?s music and warm, rich vocals resonate with timeless appeal. John Beland, noted guitar player for such musical legends as Ricky Nelson, Linda Ronstadt, and Kris Kristofferson recently commented: ?This is an artist I truly believe will be with us for many more CD?s to come. Be sure to get in on the ground floor of what is destined to be an amazing career. After one listen you'll realize this is real talent.?
