About

Hi! I’m Chrissy Updike, a versatile freelance musician professionally trained in Jazz and Classical voice. I bring a unique and relatable stage presence, with skills in vocal improvisation and lyric composition. I deeply enjoy blending different styles and genres and connecting with audiences through music.

Alongside my musical journey, I have experience in food service, which helped me develop strong communication and customer service skills. Currently, I am pursuing degrees in Sociology and Liberal Arts Music (Voice) at Bloomsburg University, and I am excited to grow as an artist and professional.
