Carlotta Centanni

Carlotta Centanni, known to friends as “Charlie” is an Italian singer, songwriter and recording artist from Rome, now living in Sydney, Australia. She is the granddaughter of Armandino Zingone who played with the legendary Renato Carosone in “La Dolce Vita” - the golden age of Italian music.

Carlotta’s music builds on her heritage and is influenced by Pop, Rock, Jazz, Soul, Funk and Bossanova. Her elegant and sophisticated voice has been compared with that of iconic Italian Pop Superstar, Mina Mazzini (who was Carlotta’s mentor in Italy) and has been described as “smoother than Diana Krall”.

Carlotta has performed live all over the world singing in Italian, English and Portuguese. She has a captivating and charismatic stage presence which engages her audience on a truly intimate level; so much so you feel as if she is singing just for you. Her range glides from the elegance of jazz, to the romance of Bossanova, with the energy of pop and power of rock.

Carlotta has written, produced and recorded two successful albums of original music (available on iTunes and Spotify). Her debut album “Respiro” was released in 2010 and comprises soft romantic jazz and bossanova overtones mixed with a power reminiscent of Grace Jones. Her second album “Rome to the Land of Australia” was recorded in Rome in 2017 with her Italian band; Eric Daniel, Bob Masala, Andrea Pagani and Alessandro Bastianelli. This album demonstrates the range of her voice with powerful rock fusion such as “Non Sei Solo” to love ballads like “Amami” and “Beautiful You”.
