About

Charlotte Ekkel is a queer indie-folk singer-songwriter based in Melbourne, on Wurundjeri Country. With poetic lyricism and intricate guitar work, her songs explore cycles of love, loss and change in parallel with nature. A conservation ecologist by training, Charlotte’s deep connection to the Aussie bush suffuses her music – nature is the grounding hum underlying every melody. 

Charlotte released her debut album Changing of the Seasons in 2025, recorded with artist/producer Rowena Wise. The album received widespread acclaim, earning Charlotte features on Rage, PBS and community radio, as well as sold-out headline shows and support slots. She was a Finalist for Youth Artist of the Year at the Australian Folk Music Awards in 2025, and a featured Young Folk Artist at the National Folk Festival in 2026. ‘Changing of the Seasons’ is an album about loss and heartbreak, yet an undercurrent of hope and peace runs through every song. This gentle optimism rests in the constancy of nature, and in the cycle of change and renewal that underpins life.
