Chelsea Cutler

Chelsea Cutler is a singer, songwriter, and producer of introspective EDM who grew her fan base first through features on tracks by artists like Kidswaste and Kasbo, then with her own songs. After signing a deal with Ultra Records in 2017, she issued a pair of mixtapes, Sleeping with Roses I and II, before making her full-length debut with 2020′s How to Be Human. A second album, When I Close My Eyes, arrived a year later. A string of singles, including “Men on the Moon” and “Stay Anything,” appeared in 2022 and 2023, respectively.
Hailing from Westport, Connecticut, Cutler grew up making music but became interested in recording and production at the age of 17. She began uploading covers of artists spanning the Tallest Man on Earth and ODESZA in 2014, and as a freshman at Amherst College, she shared the original song “Anything for You” in late 2015. “Wake Up” followed in 2016 as she started to be featured on songs by EDM and indie electronic acts such as Kidswaste, Louis the Child, and Kasbo, garnering millions of streams between them. In 2017, her own songs “Your Shirt” and “Sixteen” were met by a growing fan base, and Cutler scored a record deal with Sony affiliate Ultra Records. Her debut on Ultra, “You Make Me,” was released in August 2017 and hit the Billboard viral chart just as Cutler, a member of Amherst’s soccer team, began her junior year of college. Her first EP, Snow in October, followed that October.
In 2018, she entered a prolific period, delivering two mixtapes, Sleeping with Roses I and II, followed in 2019 by the brent EP, a collaboration with Jeremy Zucker. Additional solo singles like “Lucky” and “I Was in Heaven” arrived throughout the remainder of the year in advance of her 2020 full-length debut, How to Be Human, which peaked at number 23 on the Billboard 200. The following year, she and Zucker issued Brent: Live from the Internet, taken from a series of livestreams. 2021 also brought Cutler’s sophomore studio LP, When I Close My Eyes. In 2022, she explored the nuances of human connection on the stand-alone single “Men on the Moon.” Cutler kicked off 2023 with a pair of singles, “Stay Anything” and “I Don’t Feel Alive,” ahead of the release of her third long-player. ~ Marcy Donelson
