She started her career as a dancer, and has had an acting career in film, stage (including musical theatre), and television, as well as hosting the Evenings radio show on ABC Radio.
Early life and education
Christine Anu was born in Cairns, Queensland, in 1970.[1] She did not know who her biological father was, and grew up with her Torres Strait Islander mother and stepfather[2] all over Queensland.[3] Her mother is from Saibai Island,[4][5] and her stepfather was a respected songman on Saibai,[2] originally from Mabuiag Island. He sang traditional songs of the islands, and encouraged family singalongs.[1][6] He died in 1979 when Christine was 10 years old.[2]
She went on to sing back-up vocals for the Rainmakers, which included Neil Murray, formerly founder-member of the Warumpi Band, for a year.[6] Her first recording was in 1993 with "Last Train", a dance remake of a Paul Kelly song.[3][1] The follow-up, "Monkey and the Turtle", was based on a traditional nursery rhyme from the Torres Strait Islands.[11]
In 2000, Anu released Come My Way which peaked at number 18 on the ARIA albums chart and went gold.[3] She released the hit single "Sunshine on a Rainy Day", for which she won the ARIA Awards for both Best Female Artist and Engineer of the Year.[16][20] In the same year, she sang the song "My Island Home" at the Sydney 2000 Olympics Closing Ceremony.[21]
In 2003, Anu released her third studio album, 45 Degrees, and in 2005 released Acoustically.[1] In that year, she was again winner of the Deadly Award for Female Artist of the Year,[22] and in 2004 she won Single of the Year for "Talk About Love".[23]
On 26 September 2010, she released a new single, "Come Home", but it was not successful.[27] In 2012 she released the album Rewind: The Aretha Franklin Songbook.[1]
On 7 November 2014, Anu released a Christmas album, titled Island Christmas,[28] and the following year released ReStylin' Up 20 Years.[1]
In March 2018, Anu released a duet version of "Without You" from the musical Rent with Greg Gould. The lyric video featured photography from around the world, each photo with a splash of red for HIV/AIDS support and awareness.[29]
Anu appeared in an Australian production of the stage musical Little Shop of Horrors,[1] and her stage career developed with a starring role as Mimi in the original Australian production of Rent[1] in 1998[16] and 1999,[35] which played to glowing reviews. Anu was offered a role in a Broadway production of this musical but had to decline due to commitments in recording her second album.[16]
From October 2004 through 2005, she toured Australia in Intimate and Deadly, a cabaret-style stage show based on her life.[37][1] The show opened at Kabarett Voltaire in the Seymour Centre in Sydney, and toured to Melbourne.[38]
In 2012 she played the lead role of Australian sci-fi television series Outland, about a gay sci-fi fan club. Anu plays wheelchair-using Rae, the sole female member of the group.[39]
On the 21 October 2024, it was announced she would be playing the role of Hermes in the touring Australian production of Hadestown.[40]
Other TV
In 2004, she became a judge on Popstars Live, a television quest broadcast on the Seven Network at 6.30 pm on Sunday night in Australia along the lines of Australian Idol. The program failed to achieve a similar level of success, leading network executives to pressure the judges to offer harsher criticism of the contestants. Anu refused to offer harsher criticism, saying that she wished to be a role model, leading to her resignation as a judge in April 2004.[41]
After a break, Anu restarted presenting Weekend Evenings in January 2023.[53] As of August 2024[update], Anu presents Weekend Evenings on Friday and Saturday evenings, along with Sirine Demachkie.[54]
Personal life
Anu is a mother of a son, Kuiam, and daughter,[3][55][56] Zipporah Corser Anu.[31] Zipporah's father is actor Rodger Corser,[57] and she is also musically talented.[2]
Anu married her childhood sweetheart, Simon Deutrom, in 2010.[55][58] He is not the father of either of her children. In June 2016, Anu announced that she and Deutrom were separating after six years of marriage, and they later divorced.[59]
She revealed in 2012 that she had struggled with weight gain, after suffering from depression, and appeared on the Nine Network's reality show Excess Baggage.[39] After her separation from Deutrom, she lost 25 kg (55 lb).[60]
The Deadly Awards, (commonly known simply as The Deadlys), was an annual celebration of Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander achievement in music, sport, entertainment and community. They ran from 1996 to 2013.
