Michael Phillip Christie (born 21 April 1981 in Redhill, Surrey) was a baritone singer with British vocal troupe G4. The other band members were Jonathan Ansell, Matthew Stiff, and Ben Thapa. Christie also plays piano and flute.
Christie began singing seriously at the age of 8 when he was offered a scholarship as a chorister at Reigate St. Mary’s Choir School. During his time at St. Mary's the choir appeared in the film Four Weddings and a Funeral and recorded soundtracks for films such as The Browning Version.
In 1993, he was offered a music scholarship to Ardingly College where he continued his singing with John Dudley and Director of Music Robert Hammersley. He took A levels in Chemistry, Art & Design and Music, before spending four years at Guildhall School of Music and Drama, graduating in 2004.
When G4 appeared on The X Factor in 2004, they finished second in the contest, but signed a £1.5 million record deal with BMG. Their first album was released in February 2005. Entitled G4, it has sold over 800,000 copies to date, attaining double platinum status.
He speaks fluent Swedish and has already written his own opera.
