Interview: Cecilia Castleman

Born and raised in Nashville, Cecilia Castleman has spent her life surrounded by music. After releasing her first LP in January, this is only the beginning for the 24 year old singer/songwriter. We spoke about life on the road, the music that has shaped her, and her process for putting out her incredible tunes.

The track is called “Chocolate”, (the video is posted below), by The 1975. The alternative English group signed with UK based Indie label, Dirty Hit, in January of 2012.
