SFPL introduces singer/songwriter, Chartel! Based in Philadelphia, Chartel has shared the stage with some of music’s elite performers including; Eric Roberson, Robert Glasper, Syleena Johnson, and more. As a background vocalist for BET Music Matters artist Leah Smith, she has appeared on BET’s 106th & Park and the prestigious BET Honors Celebration, and has traveled the East Coast performing at such venues as the famous SOB’s in New York and the Howard Theater in Washington, D.C.
Now, as she works on her debut EP, she has released her first single, “Make Up Your Mind to Love”. The single, which deals with the idea of loving someone who’s love is not explicit in its return, highlights not only Chartel’s vocal strength, but her intuitive and poignant wit as a songwriter. With a musical style that we like to call Pop-soul, her debut single is not only a great listen, but it challenges listeners to do what we were created to do and that is love, unapologetically.
