Hello, my name is Carla Douw, vocalist and frontlady of the band La-Ventura.
I started singing in a band when I was 21 years old. I participated in my husbands rockband "Red Alert" and recorded 2 demo's. We did many shows in it's 5 years of existence. After the band broke up we started a symf poprock band in which I was not only vocalist but also played flute. A year later I entered a new local rockband "DV-us". After the recordings of a demo-cd the band decided to split up. Meanwhile I was asked to participate as a soloist in a side project. This project involved a big choir with full orchestra and performed in some great theatres.
At that time I decided to take singing lessons as well to improve my skills. What first started as a hobby now became a serious attempt to make my dream come true.
In 2004 I formed a band with two talented musicans.We went into the rehearsal room and recorded a few songs. Unfortunately we never got on stage. Again I went on looking for a new band and I was more then happy to meet Erwin. Together we started the adventure of La-Ventura.
I like to listen to rock and metal orientated bands such as Katatonia, Lacuna Coil, A Perfect Circle, Evanescence and 30 sec to Mars.
