Artist History Christie Yih began getting serious about singing during her high school years in Hong Kong, after she won a local radio-sponsored karaoke contest singing Mariah Carey's "I'll Be There." She has since moved to Boston for college and kept up her singing in acappella groups and gospel choirs. In February 2001, Christie got a chance to record her first composition, a heartfelt ballad entitled "Won't You Tell Me."
