Description
Christine Johnston has dedicated her creative life to teaching, making, releasing, and promoting Music as a REMEDY. Her focused, determined, driven, and passionate life within the arts is one of the two contributing forces behind Saskatoon’s Remedy Music School and the Remedy Music Label. You will see marks of integrity and deeply rooted commitment to contributing and building Saskatoon’s arts community.
Christine’s love of music and what it can do started young, as she began to write music from her family’s heirloom piano and find solace in the creation of art from the age of eight on. “It was like my piano was waiting for me to dump all the feelings through my fingers to the keys, searching for the sounds to reflect what was going on in my soul; I needed this process to live and cope,” she says. Looking back on her music history reveals the strong essence of the constant remedy music was in her life, and how it carried her through managing childhood trauma’s affects and crippling anxiety. Christine’s experience with music over the years produced an intimate, synergistic relationship that’s like a force of understanding fueling devotion to her career, and teaching, as well as the creation, release and presentation of her art.

I See You YXE
Various Artists
December 2023
The album features the stories of people she is very close to, people she's acquainted with, people she’s heard of, and strangers she had never met before she asked them to share their stories with her. She literally approached people on the street to ask if they would like to participate, and to her delight, they said yes!
The album reflects the diversity of Saskatoon’s people, and the unity in our shared joys and sorrows. The parallels in each of our unique journeys connect us to one another, and bring forth a powerful compassion for each other that we only get when we choose to listen and really SEE one another.

So Alive
This song is written from the perspective of Tarra Forrest in recollection of her life and experiences. A few years ago, she was diagnosed with cancer, underwent all that was necessary to beat it, and did. Her resilience, strength, positivity, and love for life is inspiring. I have so enjoyed getting to know her while chatting about her story, creating this custom song, and then going even deeper in communication while developing the content for this video.
