“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 found music early and never really let go of it. “I’ve been playing instruments since I could walk and singing since I could talk,” the singer/songwriter says. Raised on a soundtrack of classical music, musical theatre, and the folk revival of the 1960s and 70s, Charlotte spent childhood car rides listening to artists like Joni Mitchell, Simon & Garfunkel, Judy Collins, and Peter, Paul & Mary, while attending orchestral performances and theatre productions with her family.

Charlotte began studying violin at age four and eventually taught herself guitar, piano, ukulele, mandolin, and more. By twelve, she had started writing songs of her own. “Music went from something I loved to something I needed,” she explains. “Before songwriting, I never really felt like I had a place to put everything I was feeling.”

She went on to study Theatre at Northwestern University, with minors in Musical Theatre, Business and Marketing. While there, she became deeply involved in the creation of original musical work, an experience that reshaped how she thought about narrative, character, and emotional honesty in songwriting. 

After graduating, Charlotte worked in theatre and performance throughout New York City and nationally, appearing in productions including (The Making of) How to Save the World in 90 Minutes (Off-Broadway) and multiple productions of Once. But while theatre remained an important creative foundation, songwriting increasingly became home.

In 2018, Charlotte joined Lonesome Traveler, a national touring concert celebrating the history of American folk music — from Woody Guthrie through Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, and Joan Baez. During the tour, she had the opportunity to perform alongside folk icons including Tom Chapin, George Grove of The Kingston Trio, and Peter Yarrow and Noel Paul Stookey of Peter, Paul & Mary — a full-circle experience for an artist who grew up immersed in their music.

As a songwriter, Charlotte blends contemporary folk and Americana with roots in classical music, musical theatre, and the folk traditions that shaped her childhood. Her work is known for emotionally rich storytelling, vulnerability, and lyrical specificity — often exploring identity, relationships, memory, social issues, and the complicated spaces between. She cites artists including Brandi Carlile, Liz Longley, Sara Bareilles, and The Chicks as current influences, while continuing to build a sound distinctly her own.

Charlotte released her debut EP, To New York, with love in 2018 and followed it with a series of singles and the EP Sputnik, produced by Nashville-based producer Mitch Dane. In 2020, she released her debut full-length concept album, Songs for My Next Ex, before relocating from New York to Nashville to pursue songwriting and recording more fully.

While based in Nashville, Charlotte continued developing her voice as an artist and songwriter. In 2021, she was selected as one of only sixteen writers nationwide for The Johnny Mercer Foundation Songwriters Project, where she was mentored by acclaimed writers including Lindy Robbins, Craig Carnelia, and Tony & Grammy nominee Andrew Lippa.

Over the following years, Charlotte released a series of deeply personal singles including Good Kind of Hurt, Tennessee, and Your Number One, leading into the release of her second full-length album, Wild Child, in 2023, produced by Charlotte Avenue Entertainment’s William Gawley. The project expanded her audience internationally through radio play and media coverage before Charlotte embarked on her most ambitious tour to date in 2024, performing 36 shows across North America. The tour introduced her music to audiences in new markets and deepened her connection to listening room, house concert, and independent touring communities. After spending much of the year on the road, she ultimately made the decision to return to Philadelphia and reconnect with the communities that first shaped her as an artist.

In 2025, she released her third studio album, both sides, and embarked on a 25-date independent tour through the Eastern and Midwestern United States. The project introduced her music to new audiences across listening rooms, theaters, festivals, and house concerts, and earned recognition through the Rose Garden Coffeehouse Songwriting Competition, where she was selected as a finalist and ultimately named the 2025 winner.

So far in 2026, Charlotte has continued expanding her touring footprint with performances throughout the United States, including appearances at the Gamble Rogers Folk Festival and selection as a finalist and performer in the Kerrville Folk Festival’s New Folk Competition — one of the most respected songwriting showcases in the folk and Americana communities.

Charlotte is currently preparing her next chapter of releases, including an upcoming double single of protest songs and an acoustic EP featuring unreleased songs already gaining recognition in live performance. Together, the projects mark a continued return to the folk traditions and storytelling that first inspired her.

When she’s not writing, recording, or touring, Charlotte can usually be found traveling in her converted van with her pups, binge-reading, or working through the daily crossword.

“Charlotte Morris has a colorful voice with far more hues than her subjects... 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
