出生及成长于日本冲绳的Caroline，原名为Caroline Lufkin。Lufkin家的孩子们几乎都跟音乐脱不了关系。Caroline的姐姐，Olivia，在JPOP界创出一片天（发了两张专辑，今年更为NANA动画片演唱片尾曲），而弟弟 Jeffery更在自己的乐队里担任吉它手和队长。父亲为德裔美国人、母亲为日本人的Caroline，十八岁进入著名的波士顿Berklee音乐学院，专修作曲。2003年毕业后Caroline回到日本，灌录了不少的live demo，这为她带来一纸来自大厂牌的录音合约。可是Caroline毅然拒绝了这份合约，而迁往LA，向Brooklyn著名后摇厂牌Temporary Residence毛遂自荐（原因是她在日本看了Explosions In The Sky和Mono的演出，而爱上这个厂牌）。Temporary Residence马上就签下了她。
2005年，Caroline推出了首张单曲〈Where’s My Love〉(瑞典人Andreas Bjorck制作)。〈Where’s My Love〉由如雨点般落下的风铃声开启，然后Caroline以其温暖缥缈的稚气嗓音，牵起了童话般的甜美旋律，自由地穿梭在如梦如幻的电子琴和碎拍节奏间，娓娓地唱出了憧憬着爱情的少女心事：where’s my love/who could you be/someone I knew but/let slip through/while dreaming of you。此动人单曲推出后，既让许多乐迷惊艳不已，纷纷把列它为自选年度单曲之一。2006年3月，Temporary Residence终于推出了由Caroline自己操刀作曲写词的处女专辑，《Murmurs》。而这张《Murmurs》，仿佛有着一股让人忍不住要重复聆听的魔力。
As the daughter of a military family, Caroline moved around a lot. She was born in Okinawa, Japan, but graduated from college in Boston, Massachusetts, then moved back to Japan to live with her pop-star sister Olivia who is signed to Avex Trax. Caroline did work for some commercials, including a cover of Minnie Riperton's "Loving You" for a telephone company.
Not wanting to become a j-pop artist, she moved to back to the United States, to Los Angeles with the intention of creating youthful music. She wrote "Where's My Love" and researched the label Temporary Residence, sent labelfounder Jeremy deVine a link to her audio. He signed her for a single, and her debut album is also on Temporary Residence, which features production and programming by her brother, Jeffrey.
