AusItalians Vanessa Amorosi, Natalie Imbruglia, Gabriella Cilmi and Natalie Gauci have all stamped their musical influence on the Australian music scene. It's now time to introduce to you new Italian-Australian vocalist Chris Sorbello.

What brings together these artists with Chris Sorbello is much the 
same....an ability to have had their talent identified at an early 
age, the relentless thirst to succeed, a supporting family unit and 
inspiring music that appeals to the Gen Y genre.

"I remember clearly from a young age my mum supporting my passion for 
music and taking me from performance to performance and always 
encouraging me"

Chris (aka Christina) grew up in Brisbane and at an early age was 
performing across Italian Festivals and various small live venues. Her 
passion for music had been brimming and all that was missing was the 
opportunity to prove her undoubted talents of songwriting and 
performing as she was blooming through her teenage years.

Fast forward to 2007 and Chris has since hooked up with reknowned 
Songwriting and Production duo DNA (funnily enough also of italian 
heritage) - DNA had written hits for Ricky Lee, Dean Geyer, Shannon 
Noll, Amy Pearson, Jessica Mauboy to name a few and were looking for 
an artist that would allow them to further express their prodigious 
writing talent.

A partnership was formed and the writing and recording started in 
earnest with  over 12 tracks written so far and interest from major 
labels ever present.

Along the way Chris' music had the good fortune of being discovered by 
some influential international DJ's who have gone on to remix some of 
her music including Gold Coast DJs David Ferrinni and Marco De Mark who 
recently had a UK No 1 Club chart hit with "Tiny Dancer".

The Marco De Mark remix version of the track "Dangerzone" is being 
earmarked for release across australian clubs for some time in early 
July.

"Its amazing to have your music recognised by some very cool DJ's and 
then allowing them to interpret it via their own style - i think a 
remix is the ultimate compliment an artist can be paid"

When considering how many kids aspire to a music career its amazing to 
note the resilience that is needed to succeed - heartache is never to 
far away...   "Patience has become my best friend - I have come to 
realise that having great people around you is so important in getting 
everything right, from there things will simply fall into place"

Hopefully it wont be too long before we get to cheer on another 
Italian/Australian making great music on the australian and world 
music charts.
