About

Soul singer Carmy Love launched her solo career in 2021, with her debut 7” single on Big AC Records selling out prior to its official release and gaining praise from Craig Charles (6 Music), Huey Morgan (6 Music) Robert Elms (BBC London) and Norman Jay (Soho Radio) amongst many others.

Carmy returned with two sensational new singles in late 2022, having once again teamed up with songwriter, Nick Corbin and producer, Mitch Ayling of The Milk.

Born and raised in North West London, Carmy had a rich musical upbringing: Her Mother and Step-Father were DJs on several underground stations including Roots, Unique and Flava Radio.

The likes of Janet Kay, Louisa Marks and Chaka Khan all featured heavily during her formative years, whilst an early grounding in Gospel singing developed her vocal style and stage craft.

Having also sung with Cool Million, PM Warson, Charles and House Gospel Choir, Carmy was also an original member of New Street Adventure, making a major contribution to “No Hard Feelings” - NSA’s debut album on Acid Jazz - with her stunning backing vocals elevating the record to modern soul classic status.

The summer of 2023 will see Carmy release 'I Just Came To Dance', which has already been premiered on Craig Charles' 'Ones to Watch in 2023' show on 6 Music.

To celebrate Carmy will be performing her first ever headline show at Central London's famous Water Rats venue, backed by Big AC Records' House band The Hang Ups.
