Adding to a series of featured performances on hit shows like Dancing with The Stars, American Idol, America's Got Talent, and Spike TV's Video Game Awards, Christine Wu has now performed as the featured fiddler backing The Voice Season 4 winner Danielle Bradbery on The Tonight Show.

The June 19, 2013 performance was Wu's second time backing a Voice winner on The Tonight Show; Wu also backed Season 3 winner Cassadee Pope on The Tonight Show in December, 2012.

A regular string instrumentalist on The Voice, Christine Wu had the opportunity to observe Danielle on set during the Season 4 competition.

Wu shared, "It was amazing to watch Danielle's development during the whole Voice season. She has a beautiful vocal sound and a brilliant future ahead of her."

A violinist since age 3, Wu made the risky decision in 2006 to leave her tenured position with the Houston Symphony Orchestra, to pursue a career in the recording, television, and film industry. She has since composed, arranged, and performed strings with a long and diverse list of A-list musical artists, including David Foster, Paul Anka, AR Rahman, Justin Timberlake, and Kelly Clarkson, to name a just few.

Christine Wu is also a composer, cellist, filmmaker, and ballerina. She is currently working with producer and songwriter Courtney Blooding to complete her first original EP. She also recently completed recording sessions with GRAMMY Award winning composer Lorne Balfe for upcoming film, Blackwell.

In addition to continuing her work in the recording industry, Wu produces artistic films featuring her original musical compositions and dance.
