From the opinions of my mama to the unapologetic critics<\/a> on Twitter, it's established that music isn't what it once was 10 years ago — but 18-year-old artist Carlie Hanson<\/a> is changing my mind with her too cool-toned tunes perfect for everything from chilling by the pool to keying your trifling ex's convertible. <\/p>\n

Carlie's name isn't splattered across billboards in Time Square, nor is she opening The Carters' tour. However,<\/em> she's already been declared a fave of Taylor Swift and is currently an opener for Troye Sivan's Bloom tour<\/a>. Remind me again what you were doing before you could legally get into a bar?<\/p>\n

Carlie's a laid-back, small-town girl from Wisconsin — just with incredible musical taste and talent<\/h2>\n

Carlie and her friends grew up listening to a lot of Soundcloud and underground rap like Lil Skies, but it surprisingly isn't her biggest musical influence. "When I first started going out to LA to meet my manager, I was listening to pop like Taylor Swift and Katie Perry — like true pop," she explains. "Which is weird because my inspiration is Justin Bieber and he\u2019s like, major<\/em> pop," she says. "Like as pop as it got for me."<\/p>\n

Like fellow Gen Z-er Bieber, Carlie was discovered through her YouTube channel<\/h2>\n

She uploaded a cover of Pillowtalk by Zayn for an iHeart Radio concert to see him live. Carlie had uploaded covers to her channel before, this one really took off. Although her submission wasn't selected for the contest, she'd did<\/em> manage over to win some producers who peeped her talent. From there, she headed out to Canada with her mom to write in-studio for the first time, and eventually came to find her sound. <\/p>\n

After building up a team of managers and producers, she met Troye Sivan <\/h2>\n

Who also<\/em> got his start on YouTube, funnily enough. "When my last single Why Did You Lie<\/a> came out, my manager introduced me to Troye and his boyfriend who wound up shooting the cover for 'Why Did You Lie' and my song 'Only One<\/a>'," Carlie says. "So, from the early beginnings, I just had a good relationship with Troye, and it was kind of like a no brainer for me to open for him" she explained screeching in excitement.<\/p>\n
