Charlotte O'Connor partners up with Quiksilver for release of debut album

Charlotte O'Connor is a charismatic 20-year-old singer songwriter from Blackburn (UK). She's young and beautiful, but it is with her carefully crafted songs, her mesmerizing soulful voice and her cheeky British sense of humour that she charms the audience. Charlotte's music is a mix of acoustic folk and soul, which she describes as "stuff boys listen to when they're on their own".

Passionate about fashion and with a unique sense of style, Charlotte has also collaborated with the Quiksilver brand in the creation of its female clothing line launched in 2008. The brand has been encouraging and supporting young talented women around the globe who embody the spirit of Quiksilver and has been following them in their creative journeys. By providing Charlotte with valuable tools and resources to help her create an expression that is all her own, Quiksilver and the Sam Bush Organisation have opened new doors for young artists to be heard.

After much hard work and many hours in studio, Charlotte O'Connor is now ready to release her debut album in partnership with Quiksilver. Produced by Mario Caldato Junior, producer of the Beastie Boys and Jack Johnson, Charlotte's first album will be launched in November 2011. The album "For Kenny", named after Charlotte's childhood imaginary mouse friend, includes some of the early songs charlotte wrote in her own bedroom as well as collaborations with other writers such as Sacha Skarbek (who has also worked with artists such as Adele, Jason Mraz or Duffy).

Before the first single is released, Charlotte will embark on a promotional tour with her band, starting at the Quiksilver Pro New York in Long Island, USA, and finishing at the Quiksilver Pro France in Hossegor, South West of France. Throughout the European tour she will also perform at Quiksilver Stores in locations such as Newquay, London, Paris or Madrid. With a presence on stage powerful beyond her years and having already supported the likes of Newton Faulkner, James Morrison, The Script and Lissie, this fall looks set to be the time of her life.
