Early life

Cari Elise Fletcher was born in Asbury Park, New Jersey, to Bob and Nomine (née Napolitani Fletcher); her father owned many automobile dealerships; her mother was a flight attendant. At the age of five, she began learning vocal lessons.

Fletcher graduated from Wall High School in nearby Wall Township, New Jersey, where she competed in women's volleyball. She attended the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music at New York University after graduating high school (NYU). She took a year off from work and moved to Nashville, Tennessee, to pursue music full time, but graduated from NYU in 2016. She is currently based in Los Angeles.

Personal life

In March 2018, Fletcher wrote a #MeToo-inspired letter to Billboard, expressing the support for sexual assault survivors. With appearances at It's On Us and the United States Women Summit, she promoted the cause. She has also participated in Girl Up and the Teen Vogue Summit in favor of women's liberation struggles.

Fletcher is a member of the LGBTQ+ movement and actively supports organizations such as GLAAD, The Trevor Project, and It Gets Better. "I certainly identify myself within the LGBTQ community," she told Billboard in March 2017, but it's all in the family and gender spectrum, not black and white." We all fall somewhere in the world. That's how I feel confident expressing myself: loving someone who I feel like loving and that I'm attracted to." Fletcher said in December 2021 that she identifies as queer and "attracted to a lot of feminine energy [sic] but not necessarily be women."

Shannon Beveridge, a YouTuber, dated Fletcher from 2017 to 2020. Beveridge appeared in the music video for her single "Wasted Youth" in 2017. The third EP by Fletcher, The S(ex) Tapes, released in 2020, was inspired by the events surrounding their breakup. Beveridge produced and edited all of the EP's songs, including "Sex (With My Exclusion)" on the EP. Fletcher's older sister, Beveridge, was the subject of the single "Becky's So Hot" in July 2022.

Career

On the premiere season of The X Factor, Fletcher appeared. Simon Cowell partnered Fletcher with Hayley Orrantia, Paige Elizabeth Ogle, and Dani Knights to form Lakoda Rayne, under the guidance of Paula Abdul in the boot camp round. After being barred from the sport, they disbanded. She migrated to Nashville, Tennessee, in 2015, and began collaborating with producer Jamie Kenney, whose album "War Paint" was released. The song became Spotify's most popular song and was lauded by media. Fletcher was added to Spotify's Spotlight list in 2016, boosting her to be known as an independent artist. She was invited to speak on behalf of the company at the Fortune Tech Conference in 2019 as a success story. In September 2016, she released her debut EP Finding Fletcher independently on her debut.

In August 2018, Fletcher revealed that she had signed with Capitol Records, which is headquartered in Los Angeles. On January 25, 2019, she released her single "Undrunk" and then made her television debut on Jimmy Fallon's "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon." By December 2019, the record had been rated gold in the United States.

"If You're Gonna Lie" was released in April 2019, a prequel to "Undrunk" and "About You," another ex song. Fletcher's second EP You Ruined New York City for Me was released in August 2019, with all previous songs as well as two new songs, "All Love" and "Strangers" as the subject. Malay, who has worked with Frank Ocean, Sam Smith, Lorde, John Mayer, James Morrison, Zayn, and Alessia Cara, produced the EP. Fletcher was announced in October 2019 as the first act of Niall Horan's Nice to Meet Ya Tour, which was scheduled in 2020 before being postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to a paper magazine, Fletcher is "one of the most innovative female artists to emerge in pop [music]." Fletcher's EP, The S(ex) Tapes, delves into the raw aftermath of a breakup in September 2020. Elle later wrote "Cherry" with Hayley Kiyoko, which Elle described as "luscious, flirtatious, but amusing."

She debuted Girl of My Dreams, her debut album, on September 16, 2022, and debuted at number fifteen on the US Billboard 200.
