The stories are familiar, the sound is immense and it all emanates from the most unlikely of sources. A soft spoken man unashamed to present a transparent look in to the not so ordinary lives of ordinary people.

Since being introduced to music writing and performance at an early age, fienix (Christin Nelson) found an undeniable passion for the art. After 20 years and half as many albums, this passion for playing music is still there.
Christin seems to be traveling the music world from genre to genre picking up scraps of melodies and sounds only to then paste them together in a musical painting that reminds the listener of some place familiar.
