Christina Billotte is an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist. She is known for her involvement in the punk music scene in Washington DC, as a performer and organizer. She is included in Venus Zine's list The Greatest Female Guitarists of All Time.
Billotte and Melissa Berkoff initially began playing together in a Washington, DC band called Hazmat in 1989, but then joined up with Nikki Chapman and Mary Timony to form Autoclave in 1991. Autoclave became known for their math rock styling and released a single on the Diskord label - a joint effort between Dischord and K Records - before splitting up in 1991.
In early 1991 Billotte, artist Jen Smith, and Erin Smith joined Olympia band Bratmobile when they temporarily relocated to Washington. With Billotte on drums the line-up recorded a cassette tape entitled Bratmobile DC. But, by the summer, the band returned to Olympia, with only Erin Smith remaining from the DC contingent. The Bratmobile girls were zine writers, and it was during this time that Jen Smith & Molly Neuman conceived the riot grrrl publication that gave the movement its name.[citation needed]
