Grammy In The Streets Award

BMI songwriter E. Christine (Chris) Anderson was the winner of the 2003 Baltimore Grammy Demo Contest presented by the DC Chapter of the Recording Academy and sponsored by BMI.

Anderson’s winning song, “Their Leader” is from her Christian pop/rock release WAIT – it’s a Musical!, a Biblical musical based on the key figures in Luke and Matthew’s birth narratives. It features a variety of musical styles, from Latin to blues to pop and was written specifically for performance by bands and singers.

Hailing from the Washington, DC metro area, Anderson started writing WAIT – it’s a musical! while a student at Wesley Theological Seminary. A member of the Recording Academy and the Dramatists Guild of America, she has been playing electric guitar and harmonica in a church band for the past five years. She is a former worship leader, and has also been a player/singer in secular bands, including Metro West, Newtown Hope and Fable Fountain.
