About Carlitta Durand: The voice on the Little Brother track that had all wondering "Where do all the lonely people go when the party's over" has taken her career into her own hands and been buzzing every since. Whirling up a musical storm with songwriting skills and electrifying beats, Carlitta Durand isn't your usual soul contender. Mixing up the tones of funk, jazz, soul and hip-hop, Carlitta's unique recognizable voice breaks any boundaries of pure music greatness. Carlitta was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota into a multi-racial family that molded her for diversity and change. With headphones placed on her mother's belly while impregnated, Carlitta list influences amongst greats such as Chaka Khan, Marvin Gaye, SWV, The Gap Band, A Tribe Called Quest and especially Prince. Taking a move to North Carolina to attend North Carolina Central University, Carlitta entered the NC hip-hop world which included Grammy-Award winning producer 9th Wonder and Little Brother group members Phonte and Rapper Big Pooh. The musical creatures quickly worked together which placed Carlitta on tracks with Buckshot, Little Brother, M1 Platoon, Skyzoo, Tanya Morgan and more.
