Living in Colour by Christa Haberstock

Artist Information

"A Little More", Christa’s third release since 1997, has been called a “fantastic eclectic blend of instrumentation, combined with beautiful vocals and very strongly written songs”. CCM magazine portrays A Little More as “a refreshing musical adventure”.

Christa’s latest recordings promise an adventure all their own. Under the influence of U2, Linkin Park and Evanescence, Christa’s signature world beat sound has found good company with more aggressive rhythms and distortion guitars, providing a lush and complex soundscape for her lush and complex lyrics.

Christa was originally introduced to international rhythms and sounds through the artists she listened to - synthesists like Peter Gabriel, Paul Simon, Sting, and Enya. When she began recording, those influences started showing up in the exotic instrumentation and polyrhythms that she wrapped around her singing.

In 1995, the death of her father, a popular Canadian television personality, became the catalyst for starting her music career. “‘Carpe Diem’ suddenly became very real,” she said. “I was reminded that nobody is guaranteed a ‘tomorrow’, but I did have a ‘today’, so that’s where I started.”

Drawing from the well of her post-graduate studies in music, her interest in other cultures, and years of directing children’s choirs, college students, and black gospel choir at her home church in Edmonton, Alberta, Child of God Music was born.

Since the release of her first album Child of God, Christa has performed across western and maritime Canada, in and around Texas, parts of the US, and in Liberia, West Africa. Christa was invited to open for Burlap to Cashmere at Six Flags over Texas, and has shared the stage with Steve Delopoulos, and with Dove Award winning Nichole Nordeman. Today she can be heard on Christian radio across Canada, into the U.S., Puerto Rico, Spain, and in West Africa.

In 2000, Christa was nominated for Best Religious/Gospel/Christian Artist by the Alberta Recording Industry Association. In 2001, “Living In Colour” won a coveted spot as a Contest Finalist in the UNISONG International Song Contest. That same year, “Masterpiece”, a song yet to be officially released, was voted Best Song by the National Association of Christian Artists and Songwriters, and was nominated for “Pop Recorded Song of the Year” by the Canadian Gospel Music Association.
