Originally hailing from outside Philadelphia, CAPPA is no newbie to the music scene. Starting to write songs at age seven, Carla Cappa released her first album in 2009 where her song “I’m Not” won her 1st place in the USA Songwriting Competition. Landing a showcase that brought her to Nashville, TN, she moved shortly after to pursue her music career. The young artist released a series of singles which landed her traction on Sirius XM 20 on 20, Buzzfeed, and eventually landed her a feature as background vocalist for Passion Pit’s live VEVO session. Developing a distinct new sound, Carla Cappa has launched her new, long- awaited project CAPPA. Just having dropped her official self-titled EP, CAPPA’s singles have been floating around on popular internet sites such as SPIN, Alt Press, Noisey, Tunecore and many more. Her single “Hush” was described as “a little gem of a pop classic, think Broods in the beat with Grimes on vocals and that thing where Taylor Swift is always talking about what color dress she’s wearing” by All Things Go. Her single “This Is Love” premiered on Spotify’s New Music Tuesday playlist as well as appearing on their US VIRAL 50 chart landing at number five. Popular music blog The Music Ninja stated artists like CAPPA “are truly redefining what the [pop] genre is all about.” Her follow up single “Other Girls” premiered in several places on Spotify such as the weekend buzz and the indie-pop playlist. The official music video for the single premiered in Glamour Magazine just weeks later. Most recently, she released a cover of TLC’s “No Scrubs” which shot up Spotify’s viral chart just behind Justin Bieber and now has over two and a half million plays.
