Christie Heart (previously known as Chris Lewis) began performing in 1990 in Darwin, NT with Irish folk trio Murphy's Law.
She returned to Melbourne in 1992 and began recording her first album Nightingale 1 an album of
atmospheric Celtic style songs, was released in 1993, and won first prize in the Melbourne Irish Festival Song Competition for outstanding vocals.
She teamed up with guitarists Trevor Shard and Greg Leon, and in 1994, recorded a live album at the Botanical Hotel and the Continental Cafe, Melbourne.
In 1998 she won the Tamworth Country Song Search for her original song Red Dirt Road. The following year she released a Country/Folk album From The Heart and two songs from the album Sugarloaf and Heartbreak On The land were shortlisted in the Tamworth Songwriters Association: Professional song writing competition.
That same year, her song Shane was shortlisted in the UniSong International Song Competition.
In the new millenium, Christie made a shift to writing prose. Her debut novel was based around the storylines within 12 original songs, and in 2012 the book and Cd Leave The Wake Behind was released.
For many years performing took a back seat to writing and study. Then, in 2020, with Grammy Award winning sound engineer, Andy Stewart themillstudio.com.au/studio, Christie remastered a selection of tracks from across her catalogue to release on streaming platforms worldwide.
