Early life and education

Chelsea Cutler was born [3] and raised in Westport. [4] Her father is Jewish and her mother is Catholic. [5] She played acoustic musical instruments as a child moving into producing electronic music in high school. [6] While in high school at the Pomfret School in 2014, Cutler began posting covers and original songs on her own SoundCloud page. [7] She continued posting music to SoundCloud while attending Amherst College in Massachusetts; she also played varsity soccer there. [6] Cutler later decided to drop out of college to pursue music full-time after she was offered a support role on Quinn XCII's national tour in 2018. [8]

Career

By 2017, several of Cutler's songs (including "Your Shirt") garnered numerous streams [6] and led to collaborations that year with acts including Louis the Child ("Slow Down Love"), Ayokay ("The Shine"), [8] Kidswaste ("Tonight"), [9] and Kasbo ("Found You"). [10] She signed a record deal with Ultra Records in late 2017 and released her first EP, Snow In October. [6] After touring with Quinn XCII in early 2018, Cutler released two independent mixtapes, Sleeping with Roses and Sleeping with Roses II. [11] She also went on her first two nationwide headlining tours each in support of a mixtape, both of which sold out in advance. [12]

In March 2019, she signed to Republic Records [13] and released a joint EP, brent, with friend and label-mate Jeremy Zucker shortly afterwards. [14] The EP features the single "You Were Good to Me", which they performed live on The Today Show. [15] In May 2019, Cutler collaborated with Kygo on the single, "Not OK". [16] It became her third collaboration (after "Slow Down Love" and "The Shine") to appear on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Songs chart peaking at number 9. [17]

In late 2019, Cutler began releasing new singles, including "How To Be Human" [18] and "Lucky" (featuring Alexander 23). [19] Along with "Sad Tonight", the songs served as the primary singles for her debut studio album, How To Be Human, released on January 17, 2020, by Republic Records. [13] On January 23, 2020, she performed the lead single, "Sad Tonight", on Late Night With Seth Meyers . [20] That song became Cutler's first entry on the Billboard Mainstream Top 40 airplay chart, peaking at number 32 in March 2020. [21] In April 2020, she was featured alongside Quinn XCII on the Louis the Child track, "Little Things". [22]

Cutler was slated to perform at Coachella 2020, [23] which was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [24] In June 2020, she released a version of her song "Crazier Things" which features Noah Kahan. [25]
