Charetta
Charetta is an American hard rock band formed in New York City in 2007.

History: CHARETTA (pronounced “sha-RET-uh”) consists of Angelina DelCarmen (vocals), Pablo LaFrossia (guitar), Chris Fullam (guitar), Richard Mollo (bass), and Adonis Sanchez (drums). The band started in 2007 when Pablo and Adonis who were long-time friends, wanted to start a new modern rock project. Through a MySpace posting, they found Angelina who had recently relocated to New York from her hometown of Kansas City, MO. Several months and many auditions later, the band added Richard as their permanent bassist, and the band’s foundation was formed. In 2008, they released their self titled debut EP, produced by Brett Hestla (Framing Hanley). Brett is well known for being the singer of Dark New Day and former touring bassist of Creed. Later that year, David Chisholm joined the band as a second guitar player. He performed with them live and contributed guitar tracks to what was to become their debut album, but left the band shortly before its release. In 2009, the band released their debut full length album “Defying the Inevitable”, also produced by Brett Hestla. Soon thereafter, the band released a music video for the single “Runs in the Blood” – directed by Joseph Bernard. In 2010, the band added Chris as their new second guitarist. In 2011, they released the EP “A Nation Distracted,” which was produced by Mike Watts (Story of the Year, Theory of a Deadman) and Steven Haigler (Fuel, Brand New). A music video for the single “Lights Out” was also released at that time – directed by JayR Castillo. CHARETTA has performed sold out shows at New York City’s Gramercy Theatre & Irving Plaza, and has opened for national acts such as Eye Empire, Taproot, Exist Trace, Saliva & Smile Empty Soul. Their “Runs in the Blood” music video was featured in the independent film “5th of a Degree”, as well as the television program “The Mun2 Look” on Telemundo2.
