Born and raised in Texas, Carmel traveled and sang in New Zealand, Australia, and the Fiji Islands. She trained formally in voice for four years, singing classical concerts and appearing in musical theater productions in college. Carmel also traveled to Thailand and Nepal, and credits her time abroad with helping shape a reflective and tolerant world-view.
Five years ago her music took a distinct change of direction. She began to focus on songwriting and singing mainly jazz/R&B. Carmel's songs are inspired by personal experiences and those of others. She describes often "getting caught somewhere in the middle" with a deep sense of empathy.
The recently released CD: Carmel, As I Am contains seven out of ten songs which are original compositions, several co-written with her husband and keyboard player, Kevin Johnsen.
