From winning over audiences as a young musical prodigy to crafting soul-infused pop anthems with emotional impact, Charlotte Summers has been shaping herself into one of the most exciting voices to rise from the Spanish music scene. Hailing from Marbella and inspired by artists like Joss Stone and Christina Aguilera, Charlotte’s musical journey started with piano lessons at the age of five and gained momentum with a role as young Éponine in Les Misérables at just eight.
Her early performances on The Voice Kids Spain in 2015 then led to a string of international accolades. From winning competitions in Italy with her original track “Unicorn” to stealing the spotlight on Japanese television, Charlotte proved she was an artist with wide appeal. By 2017, she was showcasing her vocal flair on NBC’s Little Big Shots, but it was her unforgettable run on America’s Got Talent in 2019 that catapulted her into wider recognition.
Her renditions of “I Put a Spell on You,” “You Don’t Own Me” and “Diamonds Are Forever” showcased a maturity well beyond her years, earning praise from the judges and even guest Jay Leno. Now based in London where she’s studying Music Production and Vocal Performance, Charlotte is laying the groundwork for her debut EP, set for release later this year. Far from leaving her past behind, she’s using it as fuel for a new chapter that blends the soulful, the personal and the bold into something entirely her own.
Her latest release, her brand new single titled “Steps,” offers a powerful winow into this developing artistic vision. Co-written and produced with Nick Southwood, the track is both profoudnly personal and widely relatable. Originally penned at the age of 14, “Steps” began as a quiet, reflective piece composed on piano which lived in the background for years, quietly holding space until the right moment arrived. That moment came unexpectedly in the studio, when a casual video shared with Southwood sparked a new wave of creative energy.
What followed was a reimagining of the track, transforming it into a soul pop outing filled with bright horn sections, expressive vocal layering and an infectious groove. But beneath the slick production lies a heartfelt message of determination and self-love; with lyrics drawn from the insecurities of her younger self, “Steps” channels doubt into empowerment, fear into progress. It’s a sonic affirmation for anyone finding their way through uncertainty.
With bouncy piano lines, pattering percussion and layers of Charlotte’s stellar vocal leads, “Steps” serves up an instantly catchy soul pop jam that’s at once timeless and thoroughly modern. As she continues to develop her sound and prepare for her first full body of work, Charlotte Summers is sure to go from strength to strength on her thrilling musical adventure and we can’t wait to see what she’s got in store next.
