I am Chara. Someday I'll maybe make my own music, stay tuned. Someday a colab with LeGrand or Yan Ade would be cool. Take to the skies! cya!

Two Turtle Doves (2TD) is based out of Berlin, Germany, Europe, Sol 3, Milky Way, this.universe. Did you know that music may travel light years before it meets someone who actually listens?
