The atmospheric pop project of Carla Cappa, CAPPA's sound recalls Ellie Goulding, Carly Rae Jepsen, and Halsey. Cappa started writing songs and playing guitar while she was in grade school, and was in high school when she won the 2009 USA Songwriting Competition with "I'm Not." That year she recorded her debut album, You Never Got Me, as part of a school project. At age 19, Cappa moved to Nashville to hone her craft. She debuted as CAPPA in 2015 with "Hush," a self-titled EP, and a cover of TLC's "No Scrubs." For 2016's Queen of Hearts EP, she worked with producer Dylan Bauld in Los Angeles as well as with her Nashville crew. In 2017, she returned with "Waste My Time." ~ Heather Phares
