  • Artist Name: Christy P Klotz
  • Hometown: Los Angeles, CA

What project(s) are you currently working on?

I just released my new single, “Jesus Callin.'” It’s a song about my grandma’s life, but it’s really about all of us. It’s the first single from my latest EP. Please go take a listen! I poured my heart and soul into this piece. I also had an awesome producer, Jordan Seah, as well as mixing/mastering with Matt Newman.

What inspired you to pursue a career in music and when did you know?

I’ve always known I love music. I’ve been singing in church choirs since I could walk, and writing songs since I hit junior high school. Music is my first love.

If you weren’t pursuing a career in music, what would you be doing for a living?

I’d probably be a poet, which is a little bit of a cheat since it’s a cousin of songwriting. I love to write. I hope to come out with a book of poems in the next month or two.

What is your favorite downtime activity?

 I love going on walks. There is something so calming about it. Plus, it’s good to move!

Who is your biggest celebrity crush?

 When I was growing up, it would have been Justin Beiber. Now, I’m just into my husband!

Who is your favorite sports team(s)?

 Yikes. I have to be honest, I do not follow sports.

What is the last movie that you watched?

 Ratatouille. I seriously love that movie. It’s so funny, and touching.

What is the last album you listened to?

“Lover” Taylor Swift

If you could only listen to one album for the rest of your life, what would it be?

 Oh no! That would be terrible. I really can’t decide that. I listen to so much music everyday, and many different genres.

What is the greatest country song of all time?

 Jolene – Dolly Parton

What has been your favorite city/town that you’ve visited out on the road?

 This isn’t really “out on the road,” but we went to Paris two summers ago, and I fell in love.

What is your favorite meal?

 Medium rare steak, white rice, and salad.

Who is your dream duet partner?

 Dolly Parton

Who would you like to go on tour with?

Carrie Underwood

What is your ultimate career goal(s)?

I would love to write and sing music for the world to hear! I want to add some joy, perspective, love, and hope.
