Dallas/Fort Worth-area rising entertainer Christie Henry: ‘I am a living witness to what God can do in someone’s life’

Andre Johnson July 11, 2017 5 min read
STAR WATCH — A native of Memphis, Christie Henry has made continuous strides in this ever-so-competitive entertainment industry, particularly since she relocated from the Bluff City to the Dallas/Fort Worth area. 

DALLAS — Christie Henry knows full well that countless golden opportunities await her.

“So, there is no excuse as to why I (shouldn’t) take full advantage of it,” Henry told Making Headline News during a recent exclusive interview.

The opportunities to which Henry is alluding are those through her immense gifts and talents as a rising singer and entertainer.

A native of Memphis, Henry has made continuous strides in this ever-so-competitive entertainment industry, particularly since she relocated from the Bluff City to the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

MAKING MAJOR MOVES — To her distinctly unique credit, it seemed that once Henry effectively found her niche in this industry, one favorable move ultimately led to another.

And given the success she has enjoyed in recent years, it’s safe to assume that this young, thriving businesswoman doesn’t plan to slow down anytime soon.

If nothing else, she doesn’t shy away from the notion that her primary emphasis is to only add to her musically talented repertoire.

“With this business venture, I plan to use every avenue or outlet available to share my gifts to the world,” Henry said. “The music and entertainment industry is very broad. So, there is no excuse as to why I didn’t take full advantage of it.”

To her distinctly unique credit, it seemed that once she had effectively found her niche in this industry, one favorable move ultimately led to another.

And, as a result, such considerable progress eventually has inspired this gifted and young entertainer to devise ways to reap sustained success.

So far, so good for this former University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff band member, who’s also armed with the notable gift of modeling and recently released her new hit single entitled, “In the Cold,” which is available on SoundCloud.

“As an artist, it is my job to insure that the arts ever die,” Henry said. Whether I sing gospel, R & B, hip hop, afrobeat, or jazz, my freedom of speech and freedom of expression will be shown through it.”

A 2009 graduate of Memphis Fairley High, Henry enrolled at UAPB in the fall of that year and, after two-year stint with the school’s tradition-rich marching band, she returned to Tennessee, where she joined the Marching Musical Machines of the Mid-South. Consequently, Henry elected to transfer to the University of Memphis but, according to her, “A few things transpired in my life that resulted into me having to take a few years off.”

Even while pursuing her goals and ambitions, Henry acknowledged that amongst her short-term goals is aid other aspiring entertainers to pursue their dreams and maximize their potential.

Because after all, there are no excuses as to why they shouldn’t.

“With this business endeavor, I hope to lay a foundation for future artists to be able to go after their dreams at all cost- without selling your souls to do so,” said Henry, adding that once she reaches a certain level of success in her entertainment career, she plans to establish her own fine arts school and community center. “No one was put on this earth to be placed in a category or feel boxed in. It’s time for us all to let out the artist in us to express ourselves more.”

TOO HOT, TOO HOT — So far, so good for this young, vibrant entertainer, who is yet proving that she her best and brightest days in her element are well ahead of her. So remember her name.

Now as a resident of the Dallas/Fort Worth are, higher education still remains a lofty priority for Henry, considering plans are in the works to complete her undergraduate studies at either nearby Richland College or the University of North Texas.

As for what is shaping up to be an illustrious career in music and entertainment, Henry would be the first to tell you that she’s one who aspires to be both educated and talented.

After all, she might as well do it big in Texas, considering word around here is that they do things big here.

“Music is universal,” said Henry, whose gifts an entertainer has allowed her to put her remarkable talents on display in such places as Miami, Atlanta, St. Louis, Chicago, and Dallas. “So in my opinion, there is no age limit when it comes to my portion of the music and entertainment business. Everyone enjoys music regardless of the genre. There shouldn’t be any boundaries when it comes to it, because it is a form of expression.”

REFOCUSING HER FOCUS TO STAY FOC– USED — Now as a resident of the Dallas/Fort Worth are, higher education still remains a priority of Henry’s list, considering plans are in the works to complete her undergraduate studies at either nearby Richland College or the University of North Texas.

So far, so good for this young, vibrant entertainer, who is yet proving that she her best and brightest days in her element are well ahead of her.

So remember her name.

“I am a living witness to what God can do in someone’s life,” Henry said. “He literally stepped in at the nick of time, pulled me out of my comfort zone, and revealed to me that it’s not too late to pursue your destiny.”

Because after all, there are no excuses as to why she shouldn’t.

Or can’t.
