About Charlotte Littlehales

Charlotte is a formally trained musician with a Bachelor of Music from the University of the Arts, where she also minored in K-12 Music Education. Charlotte began writing and self-producing her own music at the age of 15, a few years before the music industry drastically changed and back when you could still sell a demo out of the trunk of your car. Though a performance major in college, her focus remained on the craft of songwriting, and how she could serve her own developing voice.

After an abrupt move to a rural area north of San Diego in 2011, Charlotte struggled to find her footing in the local music scene and pivoted her focus to commercial and collaborative songwriting. Often working with clients over a great distance, she scored the independent film King (2012), co-wrote and co-produced Louisville songstress Carly Johnson’s self-titled debut album (written 2015-2016, released in 2020), and has written over 20 original children’s songs for the popular YouTube channel EliKids (2017-present).

On a more local level, she spent 2018-2020 writing collaboratively with San Diego powerhouse vocalist Cassie B in the setting of Cassie’s original band, Cassie B and the Stingers (in which she also played keys and sang back up vocals). Charlotte has also performed throughout San Diego County as a soloist, the second half of an acoustic duo, the keyboardist and background vocalist in the Cassie B Project, the lead vocalist and keyboardist in The Stingers (also known as Boomtown Stingers), and as a fill-in backup singer with Carly Johnson’s band when they perform locally (or in Liverpool, UK!). Charlotte is a regular fixture at the San Diego Zoo throughout the year as a solo singer/guitarist, and is known for her soulful acoustic covers of songs spanning genres and decades.

Between 2017 and the present, a major focus for Charlotte has been growing her music lesson studio, Little Dell Music Studio. Based in Fallbrook, CA, Little Dell Music Studio currently offers voice, piano and ukulele lessons as well as the early-childhood music classes Let’s Play Music and Sound Beginnings, which Charlotte trained for and earned the certification to teach in 2020. Additionally, Charlotte’s heavy focus on contemporary vocal pedagogy has made her a confident voice teacher capable of teaching beginning through advanced vocalists.

Charlotte’s services include: singing coach / teacher, songwriting coach / teacher, solo performer for hire, session vocalist, commissionable songwriter, music producer and more. Contact Charlotte to pitch a project idea.
