ABOUT CHRISTIE
THOMPSON
Christie Thompson is a woman with a passion - a
songwriter consumed with songwriting and intent on sharing life lessons through
her songs.
With a vibrant personality and persevering
spirit, Christie worked in many industries over the years from salesperson to
housing inspector. At the time, she and her husband were raising their three
children, but today, those life experiences plus her love for reading provides
her with a wide range of song ideas.
Christie has lived through some of the worst
life has to offer, yet today she is standing tall as a strong and confident
woman. While walking through the pain of a heart wrenching life storm, she
picked up pen and paper and began journaling. Having found her passion, she
began to take her writing seriously, joining NSAI and learning the craft of
songwriting.
Always encouraging her children to follow their
dreams, her daughter, Casey, is currently a bright shining star on Nashville’s
horizon. Now that her children are grown, it’s Christie’s turn to follow her
own dreams and to catch the attention of Nashville.
While living in Georgetown, Kentucky Christie
was able to learn and create, but she knew that to take it to the next level she
had to make contacts in the music industry. Therefore, with the support of her
family, she began traveling to Nashville. During one of those trips, she
contacted Justin Peters at Songs For The Planet, Inc., and suddenly her dreams
turned to reality. Signing an exclusive songwriting agreement with LITA Music
is just the break she needed.
Her growth in songwriting has escalated since
the signing. She feels a freedom she’s never felt before – allowing her songs
to breathe and to be who they are – country, blues or whatever. Her boundaries
are expanding and the future holds endless possibilities.
Always searching for poignant lyrics, pen and
paper are always within reach, even on the nightstand beside her bed. If a song
is working, she may not sleep until the right line comes. While Christie is
honing her God-given skills, she is enjoying every step of the journey.
Her goals are simple – continue learning, write
with new co-writers and, of course, get cuts! And she is on track to do all of
that and more. She has the wisdom to share and the talent to do it. Christie
Thompson lives and breathes songwriting – she is coming into her own – so get
ready Nashville!
