Christine Guldbrandsen was born on 19th March 1985 in Bergen, Norway is a singer who is best-known internationally for being the 2006 Norwegian entrant in the Eurovision Song Contest, and across Scandinavia for her three albums Surfing in the Air, Moments and Christine.

So far, Christine has released three albums in the folk-ballad or folk-pop genre. Her 2003 debut album, Surfing in the Air, became a huge success in Norway, and was subsequently released in Finland.

Christine Guldbrandsen's "difficult second album", called Moments, was released in December 2004, and didn't quite have the same magical appeal to her fans as her first record.

Christine Guldbrandsen represented her native country at the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 in Athens, after winning the Melodi Grand Prix 2006, the Norwegian selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 in Athens, Greece.

The Nordic folk song she sang there, Alvedansen (The dance of elves) - the only of 18 entries with Norwegian lyrics - was a non-typical Grand Prix entry, far from the typical schlager as it is an ethno piece spiced with chant plus fiddle and harmonica play.

Christine won the Bergen semi final easily through a convincing performance and live voice, though she had strong competitors in especially Queentastic and Trine Rein. In the Eurovision finals in Athens, she placed 14th of 24 finalists.
