Biography

Singer-songwriter Cecilia Castleman, 22, compares her writing process to sending letters to herself over and over again. “It’s like reopening envelopes to find the one letter that hits the feeling you’ve been chasing,” she says. “That’s when you have a good song.”
 Her self-titled debut is due out Q4 of 2023 on indie powerhouse Glassnote Records. Listeners can expect a timeless album inspired by musical greats including The Beatles, Brian Wilson, Fleetwood Mac, J.J. Cale, and Bonnie Raitt. Produced by Don Was, it’s a stunning collection of songs that highlight everything the Tennessee-born artist does well: lyrics that convey all the intimacy of a diary; a dynamic, honeyed voice that moves effortlessly between a coo and a lilt; and guitar playing that impressed no less than John Mayer. 
 Cecilia’s debut single "Lonely Nights" was premiered by Apple's Zane Lowe and deemed "an utterly irresistible delight" by Atwood Magazine. Subsequent singles "It's Alright," and "You Go Thru Girls Like You Go Thru Cigarettes," have been played on stages shared with Hozier, Inhaler, Sheryl Crow, Melissa Etheridge and more.
