I’m Caroline Manning — a 21-year-old singer-songwriter, content creator, college student, barre instructor, and proud dog mom to my sweet pup, Matcha. I’m currently living in Boise, ID, soaking in every moment of my college years as I head into my senior year at Boise State University, studying Entrepreneurship with a minor in Marketing. (Still can’t believe I’m saying that!)

My journey started at just 12 years old when I sang the National Anthem at the University of Texas in Austin — a moment that earned me the nickname “the little girl with the big voice.” What began as posting videos for my Vietnamese grandma on YouTube has grown into something much bigger: a beautiful, supportive community of over 1.4 million subscribers. On my channel, you’ll find a mix of original songs, vlogs, honest talks, and everyday moments — all created from the heart.

Outside of school and YouTube, I stay pretty busy (in the best way). I teach barre fitness classes, intern for a supply chain tech company based in San Francisco, and spend as much time as I can exploring the outdoors — especially with Matcha by my side. I’m also incredibly grateful to have traveled the world, including a life-changing semester abroad with Semester at Sea during my sophomore year.

Since living on my own, I’ve fallen in love with cooking meals that nourish both body and soul. It’s become a form of self-care and creativity for me, and I’ve even started sharing my favorite simple, feel-good recipes here on my site. If you’re looking for a little kitchen inspiration, check out the Recipes tab — I’ve got you!

Thanks for being here. Whether you’ve followed my journey from the start or just stumbled upon this space, I’m truly glad you’re here. I hope something you find here sparks joy, encouragement, or a reminder that your story is worth sharing, too.

XO, Caro
