SCARLET TANTRUM

Scarlet Tantrum is an emerging artist from rural Carthage, North Carolina, and a standout in the local live music scene. The name is a persona crafted by Laura—Scarlet for her natural red hair and bold presence, and Tantrum to reflect the emotional intensity that defines her music. Fusing modern pop with the raw edge of ‘90s and 2000s alt-rock, Scarlet’s sound is shaped by influences like Hayley Williams, Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, and Halsey. Her songs feature gritty guitar riffs, catchy melodies, and fearless lyrics that deliver bold, emotional truths. Music has always been Scarlet’s emotional outlet. Though she didn’t grow up in a musical household, her passion for singing led to early vocal lessons. At 13, she taught herself ukulele and soon began writing songs—giving her a voice when she needed one most. A guitar gifted on her 16th birthday deepened her connection to songwriting, transforming it into a way of life. For years, she kept her talent private, dreaming of the stage but battling self-doubt. Eventually, her desire to perform outweighed the fear. She stepped into the spotlight and began playing local venues, gaining confidence and a growing fanbase with every show. Today, Scarlet Tantrum is a confident, magnetic performer. She’s played across North Carolina and at renowned venues like Nashville’s Opry Mills and The Electric Jane, and has opened for country artist Kim Richey. With a growing online following and music that resonates deeply, Scarlet continues to be unapologetically herself—sharing the same healing power through her songs that she once found in the music she loved.
