She composes lyrical and soul-baring pop songs, fueled by contemporary jazz.

The Dream stands for the urge to create. It is the driving force behind the creation of songs, the need to express one self and the desire to seek beauty.
The first single from her solo debut is called <a href="spotify:track:1F8GaKmMB76ICAfMy8cJBw" data-name="Winter's Glow">Winter's Glow</a>, written in loving memory of her mother.

Christel has arranged the song for hang, mbira and bass clarinet, the latter portraying a lark's song, inviting her mother to fly and sing along, high into the heavens.
