“What a voice. [Morris] has that elusive quality that so many hope for. Wild Child is one of those albums — the kind that is destined to encounter the “repeat” button again and again.”

- Greg Victor (ParcBench)

Bio

Growing up outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Charlotte Morris discovered her passion for music at a young age. “I’ve been playing instruments since I could walk and singing since I could talk,” the singer/songwriter explains. As a child, her parents would take her to classical concerts and musical theatre productions, igniting a fire inside of young Charlotte’s soul. “Every family car ride was filled with folk classics, musical theatre or classical music – Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins, Simon & Garfunkel, and Peter, Paul & Mary were all the soundtracks of my childhood,” Morris remembers.

After starting violin lessons at the age of four, Charlotte taught herself how to play the guitar, piano (and melodica), ukulele, banjo, acoustic bass guitar and mandolin, and began taking her songwriting seriously by the age of twelve. “Music grew from something I loved to something I needed. That sounds wildly dramatic, I know, but before then I had never felt able to fully express myself,” says Morris.

In college, Charlotte majored in Theatre, with minors in Musical Theatre, Business and Marketing at Northwestern University. After graduating, she performed in theatrical productions and tours around New York City and across the nation, including (The Making of) How to Save the World in 90 Minutes (Off-Broadway) and multiple productions of Once. 

In January of 2018, Charlotte joined Lonesome Traveler – a national concert tour where the cast performed the history of folk music, starting with Woody Guthrie and ending with songs from Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez. While on the road, folk legends including Tom Chapin, George Grove (Kingston Trio), Peter Yarrow and Noel Paul Stookey (both of Peter, Paul and Mary) performed with the cast at various venues. 

As a singer/songwriter, she describes her writing style as genuine, raw and emotional music with a purpose and takes inspiration from female story-telling artists Brandi Carlile, Sara Bareilles, Liz Longley, Maren Morris, The Chicks, and bands like Delta Rae and Fleetwood Mac. “These artists have really shown me that I don’t need to fit into a box. Everything I write is about my life,” Morris admits. “My lyrics are extremely personal and paint a very detailed picture about things I, and those I love, have experienced.”

Charlotte released her debut EP, TO NEW YORK, WITH LOVE in June 2018, which received positive recognition from media and was programmed on playlists worldwide. She paired the release with a kick-off performance at New York’s famous club 54 Below and began playing at venues across the city. After her debut success, Charlotte released a number of singles, as well as a five-song EP (produced by Nashville-based Mitch Dane) entitled SPUTNIK. In the spring of 2019, Charlotte embarked on her first acoustic tour, performing in over fifteen different cities across the United States, including Nashville, Austin and Baltimore.

Charlotte released her first album, SONGS FOR MY NEXT EX, in December of 2020. The collection, which takes the listener through the highs and lows of a tumultuous, yet transformative, relationship, received rave reviews globally from the press. Shortly after the release, Charlotte decided to move out of New York City to Nashville.

After moving to Music City in 2021, Charlotte began establishing herself in the industry as an artist on the rise. In Spring 2021, she was selected as one of only 16 songwriters to participate in The Johnny Mercer Foundation’s Songwriters Project. During the project, she was mentored by world class writers including Lindy Robbins (Skyscraper, Day Drunk, Back to You) and Tony & Grammy Awards nominee Andrew Lippa (Wild Party, The Addams Family). 

Partnering with Charlotte Avenue Entertainment in June 2022, Morris released a deeply personal song about addiction and PTSD, “Good Kind of Hurt,” with the hope of spurring more conversation around the difficulties and misunderstandings of mental illness. She followed up that success with her nostalgia-filled, folk-driven, single “Tennessee”, and then, “Your Number One”, a driving song of empowerment. All of these singles led up to the release of Wild Child, Charlotte’s 2nd studio album, which took the industry by storm in September 2023. The album, personal, vulnerable, and authentic, has impacted listeners worldwide; from live television and radio performances, to extensive radio play in the Netherlands, the UK, and more, the album serves as an example of just how powerful music can be. 

In Spring of 2024, Charlotte hit the road for a 30-city international tour, wowing audiences with her captivating stage presence and conversational show dynamic. While spending most of 2024 on the road touring her album across North America to 30+ cities, Charlotte came to the realization that it was time to head back to her roots and return to the east coast. 

After returning to Philadelphia at the end of 2024, Charlotte refocused her energy on her latest album, "both sides," which was released in May 2025 to overwhelmingly positive reception. “With emotional depth and poetic clarity, 'both sides' captures the essence of human complexity, the joy and grief, chaos and clarity, heartbreak and healing that define our experiences,” noted The Big Takeover. The latest album has taken Charlotte to new audiences throughout the last year and continues to promise even more exciting things for the future.

When the singer/songwriter is not writing or releasing music, she travels across the country in her converted van with her pups, and is an avid crossword puzzler.

“Charlotte Morris has a colorful voice with far more hues than her subjects. The CD swings through the vocalization style of Sarah MacLachlan. But Ms. Morris is more rural than Sarah & that’s where the Emmylou Harris’ tinder burns.There’s more folksiness in her showcase than country.  “Good Kind of Hurt,” & “Time Will Tell,” both have shades of Laura Nyro, Cindy Bullens, Nanci Griffith & Janis Ian. Songs with stark revelations, thick with anxiety, facing angst as it ripens in a memory facing uncertain choices & the melody though has an exuberance that gives hope. These are exceptional. Exceptional because Charlotte Morris is. She knows how to live within her art. She expresses it.”

-John Apice, Americana Highways

"​C​harlotte Morris' Wild Child album is the type of recording you cannot play just once in a single sitting. It pulls you in with her unique take on her young  life, and her so very precise phrasing and voice. It also ends with the toweringly awesome, ​'This Time 'Round,​' with a performance that places ​her as one of the best vocalists I've heard. Ever." ​

- Larry LeBlanc, Celebrity Access

“Growing up surrounded by the words of some of music’s most iconic lyricists – Judy Collins, Joni Mitchell, Simon & Garfunkel – one can’t think of Charlotte Morris without thinking songwriter.  The practice of putting pen to paper is as natural as the blood flowing through her veins.”

- Janeen Megloranzo, The Country Note

“Every so often a new voice appears that one can't help but notice. By turns confessional, vulnerable and stoic, we find ourselves immersed in Morris’ emotional songs. . .  she demonstrates an impressive vocal range that never wavers in the upper registers. There is not a weak track amidst the 10. Morris has a natural gift for melody, and beyond that pretty voice are some heartfelt lyrics.”

- Jim Hynes, Country Standard Time
