Christine Smith is a classically trained pianist with a varied career history. She's done composition, film score, cover bands, teaching, and anything else you can think of doing as a good piano player/musician. She co-founded the entertainment and informational content development company called Frosted Lens. Before that, Christine was the Sound & Music Director/Composer-in-Residence for RPR Studios.

I encourage you to check that out wherever you get your podcasts. We talk about Musicians vs. the World, getting paid gigs as a teen, creative projects at Frosted Lens, composing and orchestration, the short film Broken Lillies, and the arc of her career.
