Heavily influenced by the music emanating from the old stereo, she sang along to the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Joni Mitchell and Fleetwood Mac. Soon, her parents would sit on the stairs and listen to the voice they didn't know their daughter had. They then facilitated her audition for the prestigious high school Baltimore School for the Arts. There, Carrie studied opera and chamber music as a Lyric Mezzo-Soprano. She graduated in 1999 and then went on to the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, receiving her Bachelor Degree in Music in 2003. She moved to Nashville in 2008 and began her collaborative artistic journey in songwriting and performing with Kent Wells (Dolly Parton), releasing 2 EPs and 1 full-length record of original songs, to press/media acclaim. She was hailed as CMA Artist to Watch, and completed local and regional radio tours. She continues to write and perform on the East Coast and in Nashville.
