I’m a writer by day and musician by night — and on the inside, I’m an old soul with a sunny personality. I’m unapologetic. I am deeply emotional. I am ambitious.
The point is, I am many things — as is this space. It’s mainly for music, but it’s so much more; it’s a place for my thoughts, my inspirations, my life in Richmond, and everything in between.
Whether you landed here from Instagram, word of mouth, or just a Google search, I hope you take a look around and stay a while.
Sincerely,
Christina Louise
Music
Christina Louise is a Richmond, Virginia–based artist blending blues rock, dark Americana, soul, and jazz-inspired elements into a sound that feels worn-in and deeply personal. Her music favors mood over polish—smoky vocals, understated guitar work, and songs that linger in the quiet moments rather than rushing toward resolution.
Influenced by blue-eyed soul greats like Norah Jones and Amy Winehouse, Christina draws from blues tradition while letting jazz phrasing and soul inflection shape her delivery. Her latest release, “Half-Smoked Cigarettes,” sits with longing and emotional aftermath, capturing the feeling of something left unfinished and marking a confident step forward in Christina’s songwriting.
Rooted in storytelling and mood, Christina Louise’s songs feel like late-night confessions—blues-forward, soul-soaked, and unapologetically honest.

Almost two years after the release of my first single, “Crash,” I’m excited to announce the release of my second single, “Half-Smoked Cigarettes.” And this one just feels different. I wrote “Crash” in 2018 and didn’t release it until March of 2024. My style, voice, and songwrinting have changed quite substantially since 2018. Not to …
