A talented singer songwriter is celebrating the success of her Country music career as she releases her fourth single.

25 year old Charlotte Kinsella discovered her love of music as a child and was delighted to be able to turn her talent into a career during her time at Bury College. Whilst studying the Level 3 Music Diploma, Charlotte developed her vocal and songwriting skills as well as playing both the piano and guitar.

Upon completion of her college studies, Charlotte secured a place at BIMM, an award winning UK Music University and the largest and leading provider of music education in Europe. Here, Charlotte secured a 2:1 BA Hons Songwriting Degree and graduated in 2016 with the knowledge, skills and experience to progress her career within a competitive industry.

The former Tottington High School pupil saw her career take off when she was picked up on Spotify by London based record producers, The Animal Farm, and has gone onto release four singles.

Charlotte said, “I am delighted that I have achieved my goal of working in the music industry, it is something that I have always wanted to do. I loved my time at Bury College, the support I received was amazing and they encouraged me to apply to university. I wouldn’t be doing what I am today if it wasn’t for the help of my tutors.”

Charlotte enjoys gigging across the country and playing at venues such as the Whiskey Jar Manchester, Liverpool Sound City, Ramsbottom Festival, Manchester Cathedral and Dublin Christmas Markets. Her music career has even taken her across the pond to South Carolina where she has played her music in front of live audiences.
