About Me



LUV CNU was formed in April 2007 to record the song "Children of April", which is a tribute to the victims lost at Virginia Tech on April 16, 2007. Based at Christopher Newport University in Newport News, where three of the vocalists are enrolled, LUV CNU offers this song as a gift to the VT community. A "no vocals" version has been added in case anyone wants to use the song to pay their own tribute. It is our hope that this song will bring some comfort to those who need it, and honor all of the victims who so richly deserve it.
