About
I was born into melody—My family are all musical! Both my grandmothers sang in India, their voices carrying across continents to find me. My childhood was a symphony of contrasts: my father's country western meeting my mother's classical, musical theatre mixing with the everyday sacred.
At eleven, I discovered my voice was the truest thing about me. What followed was a love affair with sound itself—gospel choirs, opera halls, rock venues. I've stood on stages that held legends before me, heard my voice on radio waves, shared moments with Grammy winners. Still, music remains my first language—the one that speaks when words fail.
"Sincerely Yours" is ten years of becoming, captured in song. These are my letters to the girl I was—about the weight of beauty and the debt to pay by traying to measure up, the geography of grief, the inheritance of addiction, the architecture of faith. I'm writing from the other side now, finally home in my own skin.
The sound refuses neat labels, weaving Rock with Southern Gospel, Soul with Jazz and even throwing 80’s music in the mix—each genre a different dialect of the same prayer. My voice moves between whisper and roar, following those who taught me that wildness and holiness can share the same breath.
I offer these songs like pages from a diary, hoping you'll find your own story written in the margins.
Sincerely yours, Carmen xx
What You Say About Me
"I’ve just come across your single Make Sure and I simply couldn’t let the moment pass without saying something…
I’m absolutely in awe of it. You’ve done an extraordinary job. It’s beautiful, it’s chic, it’s elegant, it’s powerful… It’s just incredible. Truly. The track is a masterpiece, and you deserve all the congratulations in the world…
I’ve only listened to Make Sure so far (four times in a row), but I’m already looking forward to exploring the rest of your work tomorrow… For now, just know that I’m completely in love with the track. You are amazing… Well done! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻"- Junior.
"Love the new song, you've got such a beautiful voice. Suppose I'll just have to sit and twiddle my thumbs until you release the whole album.
It's funny, I was watching the video and I could see you doing that little sharp breathing technique you taught me, I think you called it the 'diva breath'? It's good to see that you practice exactly what you preach.
I'm very proud of you for putting out such a personal (and great) piece of art."- Kyle

Congratulations Carmen. You are so beautiful and your song and voice are incredible, unbelievable.Usha sent me the Backstory but a few minutes into listening I had to stop because it touched my heart and I cried buckets. Today, I played it fully and also the song-beautiful-even though “I cried me a river.” You are my number one singer and I am very proud of you. I love your music because it stirs up inner emotions and always tells a story. You give me comfort through your songs and we spent some time together at the time and I appreciate it very much. I wish you more luck and success always.- Aunty Akua (about the song I weep with you written for her.)
No Man is an Island
Collaborations have made my music journey what it is. Each person I have writtenand produced with has been able to relate emotionally. Working with producers and muscians who connect with the track on a deeper level due our shared experiences gave each of my tracks more life and purpose. My music is quite loaded and I haven't managed to sit down a write a pop track for strategy or sheer fun- so working with people who understand and exude love- has been priceless!
