Carol C is the lead singer and co-founder of the popular electronic soul band, Si*Sé. With a musical style the Los Angeles Times described as “edgier than Sade, but more accessible than Everything But The Girl”, Carol helped Si*Sé gain the attention of David Byrne of Talking Heads back in 2001. He quickly signed them to his Luaka Bop label and took them along on his Look Into The Eyeball world tour.

 

Already established in NYC’s music scene as a globetrotting drum & bass DJ and party promoter since before the band’s inception, the success of Si*Sé made Carol C’s vocals, songwriting, and impeccable ear for production high in demand. Collaborations with David Byrne, Thievery Corporation, The Phenomenal Handclap Band, Federico Aubele, Madrid De Los Austrias, Ursula 1000, and King Britt soon followed. Her work with Nickodemus of the popular Turntables On The Hudson parties yielded “Cleopatra In New York”, a huge favorite of chill out, lounge, and world music compilations worldwide. In the past few years Carol has also become an intricate part of Bjork’s Biophilia project, teaching music workshops to elementary school students throughout New York City.

 

Though her work with Si*Sé continues, Carol’s solo performance will give audiences a chance to experience something different. A collection of brand new originals and reworked favorites from her diverse body of work, many of which have never before been performed live, will be brought to life in Carol C’s own unique vocal style. Her debut solo album produced by Justin Filmer, mixed by Mario Mcnulty (one of David Bowie's right hand men), and mastered by Bob Power, was released summer of 2019. She most recently released the touareg blues influenced single "De La" with artist Gitkin on Wonderwheel Recordings.

She currently resides in New Orleans and tours as one of the singers of Brooklyn band, Pimps of Joytime on Regime Records. They recently had the honor of touring with George Clinton and Parliament Funk in summer of 2022.
