......Carmen is a true and natural vocalist. Her first performance was at the age of 6 with her father, Camilo (who has performed with the legendary Gene Autry, Bob Wills, Marlon Brando, and The Lennon Sisters). Her love for music and stage grew. In high school, she received the Louis Armstrong Jazz Award for vocals. Soon after, she was asked to become the lead vocalist for Hacienda Records Tejano Artist "Algo Simple". After a 12 year span with "Algo Simple", Carmen decided to go solo. It was at this turning point that she was recommended by CMA Award winning singer/songwriter, Susan Gibson (writer- "Wide Open Spaces") to be on an upcoming PBS film documentary. That is when Carmen wrote her original composition and shot the video entitled "America" that has now been featured in two PBS documentaries; "Celebrate America!" and "Southwest Expressions". Past band members of her band include Robin Brannon from the Christian vocal group Acappella, and up and coming L.A. jazz sax player John Tegmeyer. Carmen was invited to record and perform as a special guest with the WTAMU Jazz Ensemble. During this time, she was approached to go on tour with “Texas X-pressâ€, an outreach touring troupe for the world-renowned outdoor musical drama “Texas Legaciesâ€. It was during the tour that she was asked by the executive director of "Texas Legacies" to take on the lead role (and was the first minority to be offered a lead role) as "Maria Hinojosa" in "Texas Legacies". Carmen accepted. Since then, she has shared the stage with many artist including Country music legend Lee Roy Van Dyke, Steve Wariner, Restless Heart, Holly Dunn, and good friend Michael Martin Murphey.
