A soulful songstress and energetic performer who brings the best of what people love about music together in one total package: great stage presence and a powerful quality sound.  Her voice is inviting and stirring in a way that makes you want to hear more. She also has the ability to create an exciting atmosphere anywhere with all of the emotion she brings to each song.  Having crafted lyrics and melodies all of her life and developing into a prolific songwriter in her own rite, Carmen can emote her message on a broadly appealing level without losing the spirit of the message within each song. Her voice exudes sincerity in every word and every note.  Having grown up in gospel choirs around Detroit and Toledo, Ohio; Carmen has “paid her dues” in nightclubs, bars, churches, festivals, etc. all over the Midwest. To see her perform, is an experience in itself.
