BIO
“Since I can remember, music was my rabbit-hole into a wonderful universe. I would be momentarily raptured while a song played. It was only much later that it dawned on me: I didn’t just want to surround myself with music – I wanted to make music.”
Songwriting has always been part of Carla’s musical journey and her expressive voice lent itself perfectly to the emotive content of her music.
Carla has returned to the scene with a new sound that is unapologetically raw, yet softened by a undercurrent of hope. Her vibe is quirky, but remains honest and deep. She will captivate an audience with her voice and stage presence, and lead them on an enthralling journey through her voice and music.
Her songs are an outflow of the music that comes from within.
Carla is a Singer/Songwriter, with versatility in genres ranging from soft rock, folk-pop and adult contemporary. With the use of sincere vocals coming from a deep experience of living, she invites you to a universe of raw and expressive storytelling.
