Early life

Cartelli was born in Longmeadow, Massachusetts. [1] She began playing piano when she was five and it was her parents who introduced her to classical, country and soul music. [1] In middle school she started taking voice lessons and took up the guitar. [1]

In the summer of 2016, Cartelli was performing at a restaurant on Jetties Beach in Nantucket with a local islander when a bartender posted a video of her playing to Facebook. [1] The clip eventually received tens of thousands of views, including from the producers with The Voice. They contacted her and asked if she would come to New York for a private audition. [1] She flew to Los Angeles after getting through the first cut to audition in front of the show's producers. She beat out over a hundred other contestants to earn a blind audition in front of the four celebrity judges, but wasn't picked for that season's show. [1] The producers called her back a week later and said they wanted her to try out for the following season. It was during this audition that she turned two chairs and wound up choosing Kelly Clarkson as her coach for the rest of the season. [1]

Career

The Voice (2018)

Cartelli auditioned for the fourteenth season of The Voice in 2018. For her blind audition, she sang "Beneath Your Beautiful" by Labrinth and Emeli Sandé. [2] Two of the four coaches, Kelly Clarkson and Blake Shelton, turned their chairs for her. She chose to be part of Team Kelly. [2]

Over the course of the competition, Cartelli continued to showcase her vocal ability. It was often noted that the coaches believed that her voice was powerful and mature despite her young age. [3] [2] She competed against Dylan Hartigan in the Battle rounds as the two sang "...Ready for It?" by Taylor Swift. [4] Clarkson deemed her the winner and advanced her to the Knockout rounds. In the Knockouts, she then defeated fellow team member Jamella with her rendition of "Here Comes Goodbye" by Rascal Flatts, and advanced to the Live Shows. [5]

On the first night of the Live Playoffs, Cartelli performed the song "Unstoppable" by Sia. The public voted her straight through to the Top 12 week, sparing her a second performance that week. Cartelli continued advancing throughout the Live Shows. Her performances included covers of "Up to the Mountain" by Patty Griffin in the Top 12 week, "Yoü and I" by Lady Gaga in the Top 11 week, "Fix You" by Coldplay in the Top 10 week, and "What the World Needs Now is Love" by Jackie DeShannon in the Semi-Finals week. The latter two songs charted in the Top 10 of iTunes, giving Cartelli a download bonus multiplier for each performance.

During the Live Finale on May 21, 2018, Cartelli joined her coach, Clarkson, in a duet as they sang "Don't Dream It's Over" by Crowded House. She then performed her original "Walk My Way", and closed the night with Adele's "Skyfall". At the end of the night, Cartelli was named the winner of Season 14 of The Voice, becoming the youngest contestant to win the show. She received a prize of $100,000 and a record deal with Republic Records. [2] [6]
