Bio
Age: 28
Hometown: Cleveland, TN
Resident: Wilmington, NC
Carlos’ musical journey began at age 11 when he picked up the bass to play in the church where his father was a pastor. After years of playing, he eventually branched out by performing covers in coffee shops around his hometown. He earned a bachelor’s degree in music business with an emphasis in guitar performance from Lee University, and in 2017, while playing at a church conference in Prague, Carlos met his future wife. Together, they moved to Seattle, where he got a job as a music director at a church. In 2020, both he and his wife lost their jobs due to the COVID-19 pandemic and were forced to move back to Carlos’ hometown in Tennessee. Luckily, Carlos had a great support system of family and friends there and could finally focus on his own music. Now, he’s a full-time musician based out of Wilmington, North Carolina, where he is continuing to grow his solo music career.
