Miss christine

Christine Moad (they/them) shatters preconceived notions and societal expectations with their music.
​
Miss Christine, the moniker of bassist and singer-songwriter Christine Moad, blends indie rock with blues and soul influences, delivered with a defiant punk attitude to open listeners’ minds to possibilities beyond the binary. Their exploration of their own genderqueer and asexual identity inspires their lyrics, resulting in songs that are both intensely personal while simultaneously challenging the harmful stereotypes and expectations associated with gender and sexuality. Even the name Miss Christine turns the gender binary on its head. The “Miss” has nothing to do with womanhood and everything to do with absence and longing. In this case, it’s the longing for truth and freedom from misguided external perceptions. 

After graduating from Berklee College of Music, Christine toured internationally as a professional bassist and worked as a session player in Nashville before moving to a farm near Iowa City where they wrote and recorded their first two albums, “Conversion” in 2019 and “Bittersweet” in 2023. In the fall of 2025, the band embarked on The Bittersweet Tour in support of their second album, created with support from the Iowa Arts Council, a division of the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts. The music video for Miss Christine’s song “Google University” has won awards and been featured at film festivals around the world.
