Christina Victoria Grimmie (March 12, 1994 – June 11, 2016) was an American singer and songwriter at first known for her covers of songs on YouTube, and later her participation in The Voice.
YouTube success
On YouTube, Christina Grimmie was shown to have had interests ranging from singing, playing video games like Legend of Zelda and League of Legends, and spending time with her family.[1] She was undaunted to openly admit she was a Christian.
After watching videos of people doing covers of songs on YouTube back in 2009, Christina's friend Lauren suggested that Christina try the same.[2] Her mother Tina Grimmie initially was uncomfortable to this move for the fear of her daughter being the target of online predators. Ultimately this proved to be prophetic, albeit out of context. When Christina's YouTube channel exploded with views and positive comments, Selena Gomez's parents found out and offered for Christina opportunities to further her career.
Beyond YouTube
Christina Grimmie made appearances on The Voice and was signed with various record companies. She was signed with Island Records until they dropped her when she declined to "undress to impress".[3] Seeing how Miley Cyrus turned out, she made a wise decision.
Death
On June 10, 2016, Christina Grimmie announced that she was going to be at a meet and greet to meet fans (or "frands" as she prefers to call them)at The Live Plaza in Orlando, Florida. Unfortunately, she was murdered by a mentally ill person at The Live Plaza in Orlando, Florida, not long before the shooting spree at a homosexual nightclub.
