"Written like the Christkind, pronounced like the drug" (Flux FM, 2021), Christl's total work of art cannot be pigeonholed. Try to label Christl and you won't succeed: Christl is an artist who cannot be framed. Be it audiovisual, visual works or poetry - Christl combines all of these into a perfect whole.
Christl is beyond borders, beyond gender and beyond medium and combines experimental soundscapes and energetic, melancholic songs with her strong, sometimes fragile voice. Christl is uncompromising, critical and confrontational. Her art focuses on stories, emotions and injustice. Christl creates spaces in which anger and love, fragility and strength are equally entitled to be felt and heard. Christl aims to unite what initially seems ambivalent in an ironic way in her work. Colours, shapes and words give her the opportunity to unmask herself and others and to uncompromisingly create the art with which she is able to analyse, criticise and sometimes romanticise her environment.
With the release of her single "Object Of Desire", in which Christl expresses her own experiences of sexual harassment, she caused a stir not only on the streets of Vienna but also in the media with an activist art campaign against sexual harassment. The growing interest in the versatile young artist was also reflected, for example, in invitations to an art residency in Hamburg and performances at the Austrian Amadeus Music Awards 2021, at popfest 2021 and at the TEDTalks taking place in Vienna in 2022. Her debut EP "A Room For Her Own" (2021) collects all the songs already known to date, but also reveals new musical facets. The debut is a chronicle of Christl's creative work and traces her self-discovery process as an artist: "The EP is a conclusion and a beginning for me. In the process, I developed a huge amount of artistic self-confidence, sharpened my vision and understood how art works for me."

In 2022, Christl toured Austria, played at festivals (Impulstanz Festival, Rock Im Dorf, Acoustic Lakeside, Waves Vienna and others) and opened the show for Tocotronic at their open-air concert in the Arena Wien. At the same time, Christl is working on her first album: true to her holistic artistic approach, this musical release will see the light of day in 2024 to accompany her first book "Ich glaub ich hasse mich" (September 2023).
