Deciding on a solo career Chrissy accepted a six month contract
to front a band in South Africa . After only six weeks in
the country Chrissy was signed by EMI. Johannesburg, which
led to her staying in South Africa for 15years instead of
the initial six months.
Chrissy performed in many varied aspects of the South African
music industry including the Miss South Africa and Miss World beauty
pageants, where she performed along side international artists
such as Grace Jones and George
Benson.
She has also performed for the state president Thabo
Mbeke and ex-President Nelson Mandela.
During her time in South Africa however she continued to
form international contacts. One such contact in Italy led
to a dance chart success in the summer of 2000.To capitalise
on this success Chrissy re-located to Italy . In December
2001 she was a guest on the "INCONTRI DELLA MUSICA" collaboration
with Carl Anderson of Jesus Christ Superstar
which was performed at the Theatre Augusteo in Salerno .
The success of that show led to another performance with
a full symphony orchestra at Ravello's Villa Rufolo to
celebrate the centenary of Richard Rodgers.
Chrissy is currently in negotiation with an independent
label recording company in Naples to follow up her dance
release.She continues to perform live both nationally and
internationally.
