Flaunting a skyscraping range, undeniable presence, and eloquent songcraft, Acclaimed 19-year-old singer-songwriter Brynn Cartelli tells relatable stories without filter, but with a whole lot of finesse and fire, as evidenced on her stellar 2021 debut EP, Based on a True Story. The EP was introduced with “Long Way Home,” which was co-written by Cartelli and Nathan Chapman (Taylor Swift, Kylie Minogue) and attracted praise as People named Brynn among its “Emerging Artists to Watch.” Cartelli also delivered an emotional performance of the fan-favorite track “If I Could” – co-penned with Ben Abraham (Demi Lovato, Sara Bareilles) – on The Kelly Clarkson Show. The song has amassed over 15M+ global streams to date.
At age 15, Cartelli’s vocals captivated viewers nationwide when she won Season 14 of NBC’s The Voice (on Team Kelly) and emerged as the youngest champion in the show’s history. She introduced her signature style on standout single “Last Night’s Mascara,” which has racked up 16M+ total streams worldwide. Hitting the road, she supported Kelly Clarkson and Maroon 5 on tour. Along the way, she garnered a nomination at the People’s Choice Awards and captivated audiences with stunning performances on the TODAY Show, Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and more.
Cartelli is currently in the studio working on new original music, slated for release later this year on Elektra Records.
