Christabel

Description

Although singing is my love and my forte, my passion for life translates into everything that I do. Whether it's a one off special event or a long term contract, I consider it my privilege to give it my all. My several years of experience as an in-house musician has given me the knack for identifying the specific genre and era of music that a group of people will enjoy just by looking at them. I find it easy to talk to strangers and find something in common with them because I grew up in the extremely multi-cultural city of Abu Dhabi and have lived and travelled to numerous places. Many guests ... who have seen me just once in the course of their travels still support me online and mention how much they loved hearing me. I have such a broad repertoire (over 500 songs easily) that I can do requests on demand - and even when I don't know the song, I learn it for the guests and they return to hear me do it. I can set the mood to mellow and delicate melodic ballads and storytelling classics or liven up the night with rambunctious dance numbers and singalong favourites. I love to sing with all my soul and this is clearly communicated and reflects in the experience of the people watching.

Biography

My Story
The mark of a fortunate life is one with varied experience. Yet, one cannot deny the effect of where we're born and brought up on the core of our values. The UAE is a country renowned for its exponential expansion and accumulation of a variety of cultures towards its endeavours into a concentrated frame of time from its inception in 1971. What this means is, the city I was born in, the capital Abu Dhabi, and I grew up together, pretty much. And though it may only be the man who travels that understands something of the human condition, I was fostered in the first of the hubs, an en ... vironment where infrastructural development was cutting edge, luxury was commonplace and taxes remained a vague concept until fairly recently. It was also not uncommon to be able to list friends from fifteen different countries with an expat population of 80%. Nature was also abundant, as anyone who has lived a dessert by the sea life will tell you. This unique upbringing makes me a rare find for a place that requires class and adaptability.
The interesting thing is I've lived through more than one historic change; I spent six years in Bangalore right over the cusp of the IT boom. I moved to Luton (UK) in March of 2008 on a visa that was made obsolete by the end of the year thanks to the recession. It was actually after my time in England that I gained the confidence and experience to make singing my career.
​
I started in Bangalore, home of my alma mater J.N.C. but soon moved to half homeland/performer's paradise Goa, where I have spent every season except for three years in the Andaman islands with Barefoot Jungle Resort and one year in Auroville. I've played all over India and spent a summer busking on the streets of south Germany. I've also lived for over a year and half in Chiang Mai, Thailand; four months in Siem Reap, Cambodia and three months in Vietnam.
​
Now, due to a series of fortunate circumstances. I have been earning my living as a musician for close to fifteen years. I have travelled a lot and met a lot of beautiful people on the way. Beyond singing I have several passions and talents, but learning is the main one. If you're looking for someone who understands the responsibility that comes with trying one's best, and has the intelligence not only to identify situations that require solutions, but to then make those work irl, I'm your woman. I'm every Woman. Read More

Experience

I was born and brought up in Abu Dhabi, UAE - where world culture and technological advancement were both commonplace and top tier. The unique advantage of growing up here was being exposed to both US and UK offerings equally, which accounts for my vast repertoire. I was also lucky to be brought up in a house where music played constantly - from Elvis and the Beatles, all across to Bollywood and local Arabic hits. Lyrics come easier than chords to me and I can riff rhymes or melodies in several styles - I love big soul vocals like Aretha, Adele, Bette Midler - can easily go wilder with power ... houses like Janis Joplin, John Fogerty, Robert Plant, Tina Turner - but I can also deliver calm and clear classics like Karen Carpenter, John Denver, Sade. Because I also sing in Hindi, French and Arabic, I can also riff in an "eastern" or folky styles, but for clarity's sake I have to say here that I'm not trained musically at all. Music for me is a hard earned pleasure and a lifelong labour of love. Read More

Previous Clients

It would be impractical to state all of my clients, but my best was Barefoot resort in the Andaman Island of Havelock - where I have completed 3 seasons as the in-house singer and entertainer (plus one season as their yoga teacher) Here is a reference letter from my boss there:
Christabel (Bella) first came to Barefoot Resort in 2012. Although she was hired as a singer, it quickly became apparent that she is not only multi-talented but also has vast reserves of energy, which made her perfect for our resort. In no time at all, Bella devised multiple avenues of engagement with our guests and ... she began teaching children to hula hoop and also conducted craft classes and offered bespoke voice training classes as well. The fact that she has a naturally gregarious personality meant that, off duty hours, her very presence for any length of time in the common areas of the resort was itself a boon as many guests were drawn towards her for conversation.
It would be wrong to classify Bella as just a guitarist or singer, as she brings much more to the table. Even labeling her as an Entertainer doesn’t go far enough, as she does much more than that. Over her 3 stints with Barefoot (the last being between 2018-2020), she also began to teach our guests Yoga and conduct Nature Walks (having researched and designed the first “Endemic Trees of Barefoot” book). She was also happy to get involved with special events, for example, she put together a variety show using some of our resort guests and staff over New Year’s Eve 2019-20.
Bella has a big voice, one that really reaches out and grabs your attention. And she has a big personality to match it. She makes each song her own, unafraid to change the tempo or tweak the tune to suit her style.
If you give Bella the space to perform and the freedom to be herself, she rewards you with passion and commitment.
Bella is always welcome at Barefoot.

Acting Experience

My acting experience is comparatively inconsequential, but the shows I mentioned before and was a part of were theatrical in nature. In the right surroundings and with the right guidance I believe I could really flourish. The stage is somewhere I feel right at home and my voice is strong enough that I pulled off a comedy act with hula hooping and singing (to Tracy Chapman's Give me one Reason)

Meet the Act

I may have been earning my keep through my voice, but singing isn't my only pleasure. I'm definitely an "amateur everything, master of none" type who spent her childhood reading intensely and the rest of it trying new things. I love DIY projects of course, right up to masonry and construction. I'm also a painter of sorts - I like to do imitations of nature on walls, old guitars and have even illustrated a Botanical compilation on the flora of the Andamans. As it is with good learners, I'm also a good teacher and I give classes in Yoga (certified) Music, Circus and Dancercise to all ages - I ha ... ve ample experience working with kids too.
Even though I love my solitude, I think I've tried to get onto every stage I caught sight of since I was a baby, but it's only after I had those two years in England that I "found" my voice and things took off professionally - and that was when I was twenty seven! In my life, it has been nothing short of a miracle - freeing me from the corporate structure and allowing me freedom of movement. I love this world and nature and want nothing more than to just see new parts of it.
Of course, there's also my online persona - and I love taking photos and videos and uploading reels and such. Read More

Additional Information

I have an Indian passport, which probably immediately disqualifies me from a lot of positions, but I'm hoping for the chance to prove my worth with the right employer.
Willing to obtain any certifications required; in the process of obtaining STCW and ENG1
