Caroline Kole

Nashville-based pop artist Caroline Kole is a vivacious vocalist with a talent for crafting cheeky lyrics and earworm pop melodies. She may be new to the pop scene, but the 21-year-old has skill and experience that exceeds her age, having toured throughout her teenage years as a country artist opening for industry heavyweights Reba McEntire and Blake Shelton, among many others. She began her career at the age of 8, playing the beach bars in her hometown of Clearwater, Florida. Five years on, country music icon Reba McEntire discovered her at a performance at the legendary Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, Tennessee, leading to a management deal with Starstruck Entertainment and a publishing deal with Sony/ATV Music Publishing. Now 21, recent years have seen her excel as a country artist with a Top 30 album on iTunes, two #1 music videos on CMT, and features on SiriusXM. After a taking a year off to focus on songwriting, Caroline found herself creating music that was more influenced by her favorite pop artists rather than her country music upbringing. Making the decision to move forward as pop artist, she continues to work to hone her sound and is now releasing tracks that draw influence from the likes of Twenty One Pilots, Julia Michaels, Katy Perry, Rihanna and The Killers. Her efforts have been well received, with features on many coveted Spotify and Apple Music playlists, airplay on SiriusXM and terrestrial major market radio, and even a synch placement in a popular Snapchat original series. Critics have also taken notice of Caroline’s memorable hooks, her emotive vocal performances and playful lyrics - all of which are her signature. Atwood Magazine called Caroline “electro-pop brilliance,” while pop culture outlet PopDust called her an “pop powerhouse.” EARMILK described Caroline’s sound as “a rainbow castle castle of candor,” while Idobi put it even more creatively: “This is pop with a sting. This is the sound of stilettos stomping all over your heart while she dances on the grave of her love for you.” Most recently, Caroline has collaborated on two singles that are poised to outdo the success of her July 2018 single What If. She joined forces with Toronto-based producer/artist Pusher to release BTDT in September 2018, which has already been featured on several Spotify and Apple Music playlists, with an official music video out now. In October, NYC-based electronic duo VAVO released a tropical house version of Caroline’s March 2018 release Right Now. The dance mix -- currently at #33 and climbing on Mediabase’s Dance chart -- features Caroline’s vocals and lyrical aptitude. It has cracked the top 10 on SiriusXM’s BPM, has been added to dance and top 40 stations around the USA and Europe, and has even been shared by the The Chainsmokers and R3HAB. With several more singles in the queue and tour plans in the works, 2019 is looking to be an epic year for the singer. The 21-year-old pop artist describes the last couple years of her career as a “creative coming of age,” and she shows no signs of slowing down.
