Christina LaRocca

A native Brooklynite with soul, attitude, and set of pipes. Christina LaRocca is a singer, a songwriter, soulstress, artists & all around cool chick. She likes to recycle, socially smoke cigarettes, make earrings, and play the bass. Funking up since she was four, she finds inspiration for her music from life, and the world around her. She has performed at venues such as Southpaw, Rockwood Musc Hall, Carnegie Hall, CBGB’s, Alex’s Bar, Bosun’s Locker, Harper’s Ferry, her shower, and many more. Solo you will find her on a guitar or keyboard, if you’re lucky-both. Vocally, she sounds like Billie Holiday stuffed inside Fiona Apple’s heart while singing Amy Winehouse and Bob Marley tunes. She does not like pretentious people, when her socks are wet, or mint chocolate chip. One of Christina’s proudest accomplishments was winning the “Free Spirit” award from the WC Choir Tour of 2006. You can catch her kick ass band Heavy Weather at www.myspace.com/theheavyweatherband. Make way for the 2008 album “Miles of Mud.”
