FLETCHER

FLETCHER, born Cari Elise Fletcher on December 19, 1993, in Asbury Park, New Jersey, is an American singer and songwriter who has become one of the most prominent voices in contemporary pop music. Growing up along the Jersey Shore, she developed a passion for music at an early age and later attended New York University’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music, where she honed her songwriting skills alongside other emerging artists. Her time at NYU proved pivotal in shaping her artistic identity and connecting her with collaborators who would help launch her career.

FLETCHER first gained widespread attention as a contestant on the first season of “The X Factor” in 2011, though she was eliminated early in the competition. Undeterred, she continued developing her craft and released her debut single “War Paint” in 2015, which caught the attention of Capitol Records. Her breakthrough came with the 2019 single “Undrunk,” which went viral and accumulated hundreds of millions of streams across platforms. The song’s raw emotional honesty and catchy production resonated with listeners worldwide and established her as a rising star in the pop landscape.

Her debut EP “you ruined new york city for me” (2019) and subsequent EP “THE S(EX) TAPES” (2020) further solidified her reputation for deeply personal, emotionally charged songwriting. In 2022, she released her debut studio album “Girl of My Dreams,” which received critical acclaim and featured collaborations with Hayley Kiyoko and other notable artists. The album explored themes of identity, heartbreak, and self-discovery with unflinching vulnerability.

FLETCHER has become an important figure in LGBTQ+ representation in mainstream pop music, openly discussing her identity and relationships in her music and public life. Her touring career has grown steadily, with headlining runs across North America and Europe, and appearances at major festivals like Lollapalooza, Governors Ball, and Bonnaroo. With an estimated net worth of $3 million, she continues to build her career through new music releases, brand partnerships, and an ever-expanding fanbase.
