Caitlyn Scarlett is a London-based singer-songwriter who emerged in the mid-2010s as a distinctive voice in the UK's alternative pop scene. Originally self-taught on guitar and piano in her hometown of Bray, her move to London at 17 catalyzed a shift toward a more sophisticated, electronic-leaning sound.
Her early work, notably the 'Jurassic Jukebox and Other Drugs' EP, showcased a raw talent for blending indie-rock sensibilities with pulsing electronic foundations. This versatility led to high-profile collaborations with artists like Little Simz and Manfred Mann, establishing her as a 'writer's songwriter' within the industry. Her 'Red Tape' series of EPs represents her most cohesive artistic statement, moving away from traditional singer-songwriter tropes toward a 'noir-pop' identity characterized by heavy vocal processing, atmospheric synths, and R&B-inflected rhythms. Critically, she is often praised for her lyrical depth and ability to maintain a soulful, human core amidst highly polished digital production. She occupies a space similar to artists like Banks or Sevdaliza, where pop accessibility meets avant-garde textures.
