About Me:
Im Carina, a singer/songwriter from Sweden. Ive just started my own company,
so that I can work with my music full-time. I just love it!
Apart from music, I like to travel, hang out with family and friends, movies, Xbox... When theres time left!
But when I got a minute to spare I usually end up by the piano anyway, writing a new song..
I live with my partner Mikael and our twin daughters My & Isabel (3years old) here in Sweden.
Biography
