This past week, we have sadly lost another beautiful soul to gun violence. Christina Grimmie, an extremely talented musician who had her start on YouTube and later became a contestant on The Voice, was shot and killed at a post concert autograph signing in Orlando, Florida. The fact that we have lost someone who promoted love and light to this horrific act is tragic, and definitely shows that something needs to be done about guns and who carries them.
While this is a very sad time, it is important we remember Christina for the positivity she has brought into this world. Here are a few moments that marked a positive change in her career.
Her Youtube Days
YouTube is where Christina gained most of her following. Her videos were typically her talented singing or positive words of encouragement. This was definitely an important part of Christina's life that many will remember.
Opening for Selena Gomez
Long before her days on The Voice, Christina joined Selena Gomez on both the We Own The Night Tour and Stars Dance tour. The two became best friends while touring together. This was a big jump in her career.
Journey on The Voice
Her phenomenal audition where all judges turned their chairs was just the beginning for Christina Grimmie and her journey on The Voice. While she had a following before coming on the show, this really let her talent be shown to the whole world. She ended the show in the top three, but this was just the beginning for her career and how far she would go.
While Christina was not with us long enough, she has definitely impacted the lives of many. Her talent and positivity helped make the world a bit brighter. She will definitely be missed.
