Early life and education

Chelsea Cutler was born[2] and raised in Westport, Connecticut.[3] She played acoustic instruments as a child and moved into electronic music production in high school.[4] While still in high school in 2014, Cutler began posting covers and original songs on her SoundCloud.[5] She continued posting music to her SoundCloud while attending Amherst College in Massachusetts, where she also played soccer.[4] 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 the spring of 2018.[6]

Career

By 2017, several of Cutler's songs (including "Your Shirt") garnered numerous streams[4] and led to collaborations that year with acts like Louis the Child ("Slow Down Love"), ayokay ("The Shine"),[6] Kidswaste ("Tonight"),[7] and Kasbo ("Found You").[8] She signed a record deal with Ultra Records in late 2017 and released her first EP, Snow In October.[4] After touring with Quinn XCII in early 2018, Cutler released two independent mixtapes, Sleeping With Roses and Sleeping With Roses II.[9] She also went on her first two nationwide headlining tours in support of each mixtape, both of which sold out in advance.[10]

In March 2019, she signed to Republic Records[11] and released a joint EP, brent, with friend and label-mate Jeremy Zucker shortly after.[12] The EP features the single "you were good to me", which they performed live on The Today Show.[13] In May 2019, Cutler collaborated with Kygo on the single, "Not OK".[14] 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.[15]

In late 2019, Cutler began releasing new singles, including "How To Be Human"[16] and "Lucky" (featuring Alexander 23).[17] 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.[11] On January 23, 2020 she performed the lead single, "Sad Tonight", on Late Night With Seth Meyers.[18] That song became Cutler's first entry on the Billboard Mainstream Top 40 airplay chart, peaking at number 32 in March 2020.[19] In April 2020, she was featured alongside Quinn XCII on the Louis the Child track, "Little Things".[20]

Cutler was also slated to perform at Coachella 2020,[21] which was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[22] In June 2020, she released a version of her song "Crazier Things" which features Noah Kahan.[23]
