Christine Anu is one of Australias most popular recording artists and performers of all time that uses her voice and reputation to spread a message of unity and hope. With 17 ARIA nominations, including the APRA AMCOS award-winning My Island Home and her platinum album Stylin Up, she has one of the countrys most enduring and recognisable voices.

Her acclaimed 27 year career spans across all forms of media including music, theatre, dance, film, television, radio, childrens entertainment, and one of the most influential keynote speakers. Her broad range of achievements include platinum selling solo albums, acting in Hollywood blockbusters such as Moulin Rouge and The Matrix - Reloaded, performing in the hit sell-out musicals Rent and Little Shop of Horrors, and featuring roles in high-profile TV shows The Alice and Outland. Over the years, Christine has been central to a number of memorable historic moments, with her performance of My Island Home at the Sydney 200 Olympics Closing Ceremony a notable standout. Many Australians consider Christines My Island Home as the unofficial Australian National Anthem

Christine has and will always be proud of her Torres Strait Islander heritage and at any given opportunity will use her public profile as a platform to advocate for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and others from marginalised backgrounds. Anu is a prominent voice of multicultural Australia and in 2016 was appointed host of the Evenings ABC radio program and now presents her own national radio show on ABC Radio every Friday and Saturday.

When speaking to Anu about her proudest career moments, she speaks of becoming a mother to her two children and mentoring her now 18 year old daughter Zipporah as an entertainer in her own right. Christine and Zipporah have naturally taken the stage together and in 2019 they performed at the Womens NRL Grand Final.

Her eagerly awaited album, 'Waku,' is a collaborative masterpiece produced by her long-time musical ally, David Bridie. 'Waku' unfolds as a poignant narrative, delving into the stories of Anus culturally rich heritage.
