sorrycarlee

sorrycarlee, aka Carlee Chappell, could’ve been your therapist—literally. After years of following the “right” path (straight A’s, extracurriculars, and studying English and Psychology at a prestigious university), Carlee was set on a PhD in psychology. But a moment of panic made her question the plan. Ignoring logic for once, she followed her heart and her “what if”—the one inspired by childhood idols like Hannah Montana, Taylor Swift, and Hilary Duff.

Carlee turned to songwriting and quickly found success, collaborating on Maddie Zahm’s “You Might Not Like Her,” Francis Karel’s “You’re Too Close,” and Abigail Barlow’s “Strike Out.” Now, as sorrycarlee, she blends raw, introspective lyrics with infectious pop hooks, creating an open diary of heartbreak, self-discovery, and everything in between. Her music is confessional, upbeat, and unapologetically authentic, offering a cathartic escape for listeners. The only thing she’s sorry about? Not starting sooner.
