A place for many things

Hi, I’m Christina —

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
