Since she has signed with The Mel Bush Organisation (Led Zeppelin, Queen, Sir Elton John,David Bowie, David Essex, Vanessa Mae to name a few) in 2007, she has built a cult internet fan base of well over 120,000 and has been dubbed by numerous industry insiders as the next “generation Y internet phenomenon». Charlotte is currently in the studio working on her debut album, writing with the likes of Sasha Skarbek (who co-wrote the smash hit «You are Beautiful» for James Blunt) and Dan Gatreau (who has commercial credits with artists such as Alicia Keys, George Michael, Kylie Minogue and Shaznay Lewis).
