Cari Elise Fletcher '16 (BFA, Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music)
Fletcher's 2019 Billboard Hot 100 breakthrough hit "Undrunk" set the stage for her rise as a beloved queer pop star by scoring her a nomination for iHeartRadio's Best New Pop Artist. Two years later, she reimagined the Katy Perry pop classic "I Kissed A Girl" to write "girls girls girls" ahead of her upcoming 2022 album, and was nominated for a 2021 GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Breakthrough Music Artist. Fletcher also speaks out to advocate for her LGBT+ community and the #MeToo movement. In 2018, she released the track "I Believe You" in support of sexual assault survivors.
