Carla Werner (US)
Starting her career as a singer at age 11, and pursuing song writing through to the present day, Carla signed her first major record deal in 2002 on Columbia Records, Sony Music (New York, USA) with the release of her debut album 'Departure' following in 2003. To date, Carla has worked with a slew of A-Grade producers, writers, musicians and DJ's all over the world including producers Ken Nelson (Coldplay) and Carmen Rizzo (Oakenfold); collaborations with songwriter's Glen Ballard (Alanis Morrisettes 'Jagged Little Pill') and UK DJ, Paul Oakenfold, providing vocals and lyrics for the hit song 'Southern Sun' which reached number one in the UK Dance Charts, prompting a performance on the legendary (now debunked) 'Top of the Pops' in 2004.
With compositions appearing in film and television, including Michael Stipe's (R.E.M) directorial debut in the film 'Saved'; an extensive touring backlog with artists such as the Pretenders, Damien Rice, The Jayhawks & Howie Day as well as special guest performer at the Jeff Buckley Tributes with artists Ed Harcourt & Jamie Cullum in London & Ireland in 2004, Carla has become an internationally acclaimed vocalist, writer and performer.
Developing her own label 'OfOne Music' in 2005, and releasing the first independent project from that label in 2006 with the critically acclaimed 'Pure Things in Wild Places', Carla is now based in Los Angeles and is currently writing for her third studio album to be released in 2009. As well as pioneering her own unique sound, she regularly frequents the collaboration world, this time pairing up with UK DJ's Loverush UK! for their forthcoming release and New Zealand roots group 'Northern Souls' on their forthcoming Mini Album 'Northern Lights'.
