Constantina E. La Fontaine

SONG: Black Guitar SONGWRITER/S: Constantina E. La Fontaine BIO: Constantina E. La Fontaine is a compelling songwriter whose work is defined by storytelling, emotional depth, and a natural instinct for melody. With roots in musical theatre and a lifelong passion for writing, she has developed a distinctive voice that connects through honesty and feeling. Her latest single, Black Guitar, tells a poignant story of love, loss, and memory.

It follows a chance meeting between a rock musician and a country musician whose connection quickly deepens into love. When outside pressure forces an ultimatum, hesitation leads to heartbreak, and the pair part ways. In the aftermath, the rock musician seeks comfort in a lasting symbol of their time together, purchasing a black guitar inspired by the woman he lost. Constantina’s songwriting is not confined by genre, instead guided by emotion and experience.

Drawing inspiration from both personal moments and the stories of others, her music resonates with authenticity and relatability. Influenced by great storytellers of the past, she continues to craft songs that are both heartfelt and memorable, allowing each piece to speak for itself and connect naturally with listeners.
