CONNIE FLETCHER Singer-Songwriter Well, according to my parents, I used to sing along to Little Richard and Mariah Carey in my bedroom from the age of 3! I have always been into music and singing, especially as my parents are huge influences. My dad is the front of a Rock ‘n’ Roll band called the Black Cadillacs, playing classics from the 50’s such as Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis. My mum, got me into music such as Gloria Estefan and Michael Jackson and the best of the 80’s! My genre, I would describe as chilled acoustic with a mixture of Indie and Pop. I record all of my music in my home studio, although I am still learning music production and how to get the best sound from the equipment I use. I would say that my dad inspired me to pursue a career in music. I have followed his band around the country watching them perform, and seeing the fun that they have and the fan base, really made me realize I want to do that for a living.

I first started writing songs at the age of 16 with an old band that I was in called “Seeing Double”. We were a rock band, covering songs by Whitesnake
and Guns ‘N’ Roses; so the songs we worked on that were original, were of the Rock genre So this gave me the push and realization that with time and patience, you can really put your efforts into writing a decent song. The way that my music has evolved
