Interview with Brynn Cartelli

We had the pleasure of interviewing Brynn Cartelli Zoom video!

Acclaimed 19-year-old singer-songwriter Brynn Cartelli recently released her poignant new single “Secondhand Smoke.” A heartbreaking, yet empowering track about finding freedom from a toxic situation, the effort highlights Cartelli’s mature songcraft and knack at penning emotive, high-impact pop music. After teasing the song on TikTok for months leading up to its release, “Secondhand Smoke” has already become a favorite among fans, with non-stop pleas for Cartelli to share the full offering. The single is available now on all streaming platforms, paired with an accompanying visualizer.

Cartelli commented, “I wrote ‘Secondhand Smoke’ during a challenging time in my life where I was trying to escape a certain situation; I was feeling anxious since I hadn’t moved past that period yet. The song came about in anticipation for the hopeful future of freedom I knew was coming next. I hope listeners feel free from a painful relationship or place when they hear this song.”

In celebration of “Secondhand Smoke,” Cartelli also performed the track on The Kelly Clarkson Show.

Cartelli recently wrapped a slew of tour dates at the top of the year supporting Adam Melchor in New York and Boston, along with an intimate headline show in Los Angeles last week at the Hotel Café. This adds to the musician’s already-notable touring history, where she’s shared stages with Kelly Clarkson, OneRepublic, Maroon 5, and labelmate Jake Scott. Following the release of her striking 2021 debut EP Based on a True Story, Cartelli shared a trio of standout singles last year – “Gemini,” “Girl Code,” and “Convertible in the Rain” – underscoring her remarkable vocal range that impressed viewers nationwide when she was crowned the winner of Season 14 of NBC’s The Voice. Cartelli emerged as the youngest champion in the show’s history and still holds this title to date. Along with garnering a subsequent nomination at the People’s Choice Awards, Cartelli captivated audiences with performances on the TODAY Show, Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, The Kelly Clarkson Show, and more.

Cartelli is currently in the studio working on new original music for her next project. More details will be revealed very soon…

Brynn Cartelli

Singer-Songwriter

At just five-years-old, Brynn Cartelli took regular piano lessons, soon learning guitar and developing her chops by performing in talent shows, at coffeehouses, and anywhere else with a stage in her hometown of Longmeadow, Massachusetts. Following her win on The Voice and being crowned the youngest champion in the history of the show (a title she still holds to this day), Cartelli returned to her hometown after the surreal experience and became hyperaware of returning to a ‘normal’ life as a teenager. After two years of writing, recording, and honing her craft as a songwriter, Cartelli released her much-anticipated 2021 debut EP 'Based on a True Story' via Elektra Records. Based On a True Story is a snapshot of the time she spent reconnecting with old friends, being observant, and illustrating what youth is about. Across her discography, Cartelli takes seemingly small moments from typical experiences and turns them into candid, anthemic pop ballads that people of all ages can relate to. After releasing the ethereal trio of singles – “Gemini,” “Girl Code,” and “Convertible in the Rain” – in 2022, she is currently in the studio working on new original music for her next project.
