About Me
Hi, My name is Caitlin Lohfeld! I’m a NYC-based singer, dancer, and actress originally from Northern Virginia. I’m currently in my senior year at New York University pursuing a B.M. in Vocal Performance: Music Theatre with a minor in Italian Studies. Ciao a tutti!
Ever since I was little, singing was a non-negotiable, as I was subjected to endless karaoke sessions at every family function. By 3 years old, I was an acclaimed “perfectionist” of my craft, over-analyzing my performances of “I’m a Little Teapot” and “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” in pursuit of the perfect rendition.
Fast forward to age 9, after a failed rendezvous with piano, my parents brought me to my first voice lesson. I came in wide-eyed with my Adele songbook, ready to become a pop star. Once I discovered that my teacher didn’t know any music written after 1960, my Adele book was replaced with 24 Italian Art Songs & Arias.
I spent the next few years drilling the classics, from Mozart to Music Man. Now I’m a passionate cross-genre artist and would take on an aria or an Adele ballad any day.
I’m an avid binge-watcher of period dramas on Netflix and like to believe I would have thrived in 19th century Victorian England. Needless to say, I've settled into the young ingénue archetype quite comfortably.
On the other hand, I am no stranger to hours spent locked in my room reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson, proudly naming my first social media account “ravenclawbookworm13”.
If there’s ever a role that requires tractor operation on stage - I’m your girl! Growing up part-time on a farm taught me gardening, forestry, and heavy equipment operation, but above all the value of hard work and creative problem solving.
P.S. If you have any curly hair product recommendations or good spots for pho in NYC, send them my way!
