Description

Cayleigh Capaldi may have the perfect pitch, but she’s not letting perfectionism get in the way of finding who she is as an individual and as a performer. She delves into her background, growing up surrounded by artists, and how it helped her embrace her talents. She also reflects on her role in “Titanique”, the challenges and joys of portraying Celine Dion, including incorporating her own style while honoring the character's legacy, and how the show helped her grow as a performer. Now part of “Figaro: An Original Musical”, she shares her involvement in the musical and the collaborative process behind recording the album. Cayleigh candidly shares her unique vocal abilities, and what actually happens to her throat muscles when she does a whistle tone. Having millions of views and thousands of followers on her social media, she talks about how it all started during the pandemic, and how she eventually found and established her niche–giving her a new and different avenue to be creative and express herself.
