Born in the Rhondda with strong Gibraltarian roots, Caitlin has developed a passion for percussion. With a strong, rich vocal and a knack for instant pop hooks, Caitlin blends honest songwriting with an exciting rhythmic core. Whether sharing the bill with other up-and-coming artists, supporting well-established bands, or headlining her show, Caitlin Lavagna will always bring the fiesta so people can let loose and shake their frames! 

 

Caitlin cites her influences from a wide range of Indie rock/pop and reggae artists beginning with bands like Sting and Fleetwood Mac up to Florence, Pink and Adele. Strong female vocals and rhythm massively influence her!

 

This year, Caitlin has gone from strength to strength both musically and in her acting career. After the hugely successful release of her single ‘Gold’ which made BBC Radio Wales’ Welsh A-List for three weeks, Caitlin was invited into the studios in Cardiff to perform two of her original songs as well as being interviewed live on air. She originated the role of ‘Mrs Evans’ (a local favorite character in the Rhondda Valleys where she lives) in a brand new musical called ‘Turning the Wheel’. After that, she multi-rolled 5 parts in the UK Tour of ‘Operation Julie’, a prog rock musical about a famous LSD Drugs bust in the 70’s.

 

She is headlining this year’s Rhondda Arts Festival on Saturday 29th June. This will be her first full band gig, as well as appearing on the line-up for this years ‘Gen Z Fest’ on Saturday 1st June in Treorchy and Wokingham Festival 2024 on Sunday 25th August. Her next acting adventure begins in July where she’ll be taking on the role of ‘Mrs Gloop’ in Charlie And The Chocolate Factory at Aberystwyth Arts Centre. 

 

Caitlin cannot wait to return to Gibraltar to perform in a string of shows including The Weekender at The Arena where she’ll be doing a stripped back acoustic set with guitarist Joshua Jefferis. Listen out for her on Radio Gibraltar in the meantime and check out her 5 singles all available on major streaming platforms!
