Platinum-certified singer, songwriter, and songstress Chelsea Cutler has come quite a long way from bedroom-constructed uploads.

She’s proven an in-demand collaborator, teaming up with the likes of Jeremy Zucker, Quinn XCII, Louis The Child, The Band CAMINO, Noah Kahan, and several others to pen a masterful catalog filled with emotionally-charged and relatable hits. Fan-favorites like “you were good to me”, “Sad Tonight”, “this is how you fall in love”, and “the lifeboat’s empty” have propelled her on a meteoric path that doesn’t seem to have any set end point in the near future.

Most recently, Chelsea released the deeply personal “Stay Anything” which represents the latest track she has written, recorded, and produced herself following the delicate “Men on the Moon”.

With live performances that have lit up television spanning The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, The Late Late Show with James Corden, Late Night with Seth Meyers, Today, and more, we were thrilled to be given the opportunity to witness the magic ourselves during Chelsea’s tour stop at M3F Festival in Phoenix, Arizona.

The widely celebrated M3F Festival is a non-profit festival that donates 100% of its proceeds to charity, a truly remarkable feat in itself. Beyond this, M3F continues to bring together an eclectic and star-studded group of artists that cross the worlds of indie, pop, R&B, electronic, and more. In addition to Chelsea, this year’s edition featured the likes of Maggie Rogers, Jamie xx, Polo & Pan, Toro y Moi, Purple Disco Machine, Becky Hill, Del Water Gap, Neil Frances, Chiiild, and more.

Come along with Chelsea Cutler as she shows us a day in the life playing M3F Festival:
