But winning a world record wasn’t on her radar
when she set out. “Kind of the whole point
of the journey was to raise money for SOS
Children’s Villages, which gives homes to
orphaned and abandoned children,” she says.
SOS Children’s Villages is a nonprofit organization
that uses a combined model of short-term
aid and long-term guidance to provide for
impoverished children, vulnerable children,
and children at risk of growing up alone. This
guidance includes education, life skills training,
family building and strengthening, and more.
“I immediately connected with the charity
because what they do is, they build homes.
So, they’ll have an adoptive mother and about
eight to ten kids, but the kids that are grouped
together are now siblings, and so it’s really
incredible,” she says. Everitt stayed in the
Villages in about forty of the countries she
traveled to, so she got to see the organization’s
work firsthand.
On her trip, Everitt was featured on over one
hundred media news articles, spreading the
message of SOS and spurring donations globally.
She succeeded in getting the program
some major donors, such as the prime minister
of Iceland.
The Guinness World Records didn’t become
a part of her journey until they made their way
to England. The official office for the World
Records happened to be nearby, and her dad
agreed to take her in, just to ask if there was
a record being made with her travels. Initially
being turned away by reception, Capri asked
for just a couple of minutes. An executive came
down, and after hearing their story, brought
them upstairs and made things official.
Everitt’s musical inspirations come from
artists like Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift.
She writes her music in the same sort of
personal, authentic way that made these pop
artists famous. She writes her songs based on
her feelings and things that have happened to
her, so she most hopes that listeners take away
a feeling after listening to her music. If it’s
happy, she wants them to get up and dance.
If it’s sad, she wants them to feel that too and
connect with her.
One message that she wants to stay consistent
in her work is that of women’s empowerment.
“I feel like it’s really important to stick with a
message of girls are equal to boys because you’d
be surprised, a lot of people would be surprised,
at the way girls are treated in countries like
Cambodia and Laos,” she says. Much of her
music is drawn from her experiences abroad,
and she hopes to inspire generations of young
women to stand up. Although she did not sing
in the countries with the strictest restrictions on
women, she sang with the Children’s Villages
for her safety and theirs in the countries that
were not as accepting of women.
Currently, Everitt releases music on streaming
platforms and videos on YouTube. The
music video for her song “Not Your Toy”
is going viral online, and her Spotify now
has over two million streams. In addition to
school, she works full-time in a content house
for YouTube, where she films videos with
her friends, many of whom are YouTubers.
Across platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and
YouTube, Everitt consistently posts content,
conscious of keeping a respectable and authentic
image.
One thing she says she’s noticed, particularly
in America, is the quickly growing pressure for
young girls to grow up. She says she knows
people in the industry, who are ten years old
and below who pile on the makeup and adult
clothes, and her hope is that girls can learn to
take their time and realize that social media
is not always representative of real life.
Her younger brother currently attends El
Segundo High and hopes to work at SpaceX.
For Capri, the future looks bright. She hopes
to keep writing and singing, and filming for
the rest of her life and start a charity of her
own that works with SOS Children’s Villages.
El Segundo has a meteor heading through
town, and her name is Capri Everitt. •
Capri Everitt has performed in 80 countries, and her music has over 2M streams on Spotify. Capri has taken voice lessons since she was five years old and wrote all her music.
