Carly Sings

Carly Sings - Apple Tree
So Carly Sings is Carly; she also plays guitar, piano and synth. The songs that form her solo enterprise, first got written, when she bought her classical guitar almost 2 and half years ago in FRANCE. (before that she did compose instrumentals and write duets with friends and play the piano and hum a lot but she never dared sing in public. she was a student AND she was an actress.,and she wandered around the streets of Paris, wondering what would become of her until she met Toshi who taught her musical modes in a sushi bar on rue des Martyrs and Esther who taught her jazz and gospel songs near rue Censier) -- Anyway the guitar -made in China -an X guitar as it was known--, was aquired in a pawn shop and was chosen by a flamenco playing street troubador who her mother had accidentally encountered in a café on rue Mouffetard. Her demo recordings made using an old stereo mic and mini-disc recorder ( that came from NYC, her piano playing dad had lent it to her one summer but she never gave it back) that were recorded live in an attic room in rue des Irlandais, got her very much noticed on the Myspace network. Then some french japanese girls who had found her on their myspace travels invited her to play a concert in Oberkamf and it all hapenned after that: More concerts and more demo recordings and then BOOM fast forward zoom zoom, a debut album called "The Glove Thief".It was originally going to be a 16 track collection of acoustic kitchen recordings, with string orchestrations by Auguste Vannier and Dicky Annegarn, but it transmerged into a 12 track studio album co-produced by Carly herself.. the album is now globally released on itunes!!!
