CHRISTY HEMME RETURNS TO THE RING AND THE STUDIO

Christy Hemme took time off from TNA Wrestling due to a neck injury and came out with an EP, and she has news about the ring and the studio.

Christy Hemme is a wrestler, a model and a Playboy Playmate, but she is hoping to add her greatest passion, music, to her repertoire. She experienced a neck injury late last year, and with her down time, she decided to work on an EP and move towards her second LP.

Christy does give an update on where she’s at with the injury and when she’ll return to the ring for TNA Wrestling.

“I have a couple of herniated discs in my neck. I stopped wrestling in November and a couple of weeks ago I started training again, not wrestling, but just working out again, and I feel great. I feel awesome, so I get my MRI next week and I go into TNA to start talking about coming back at the end of the month.”

Her band is called Hemme and she’s released a new EP titled Where Are You, and it’s a combination of modern hard rock mixed with the ’90s sound of the Cranberries as a starting point. She talked about what the biggest labor of love was in making the EP.

“They were all labors of love. I would have to say this EP… it’s a bit selfish for me in the way that it is the foundation of what Hemme is. I really wanted a really stripped down version of what the sound is going towards because I wanted to have something I could listen to, that reminded me of why I was doing what I was doing, and what I believe in, and why I’m so passionate about what I’m doing, and what makes me, me, and all these things. And Where Are You is really that. It’s a big reminder for me to sit back and look at where I’m at and why I’m here.”

Hemme talks about music versus wrestling.

“The reality is that wrestling is not something that I can do forever. My body gets to tell me when I can and can’t do it. I’m very passionate about wrestling. I love wrestling and so I’ll continue to do it as far as I can. Music I can do forever, whether or not I get paid, that’s a whole ‘nother story, but it’s definitely…. I’ve always been somebody that followed their passion. If I didn’t believe in something, I didn’t do it. I’m definitely following my passion.”

Her first single is “Don’t Give Up,” which she said is a testament to who she is and how hard she’ll work to achieve her dreams. She does plan on getting the full length done and a tour scheduled as soon as her triumphant return to the ring gets in full swing.
