Ms. Carmen Singer from Detroit, MI

I have been singing my entire life! I am a recording artist, my album "Greatness" is available on all digital platforms. I am a 2019 Detroit Music Awards Nominee. I enjoy singing jazz, oldies, Motown, R&B and Soul Music. I have been compared to artists like, Lauryn Hill, Estelle, Chaka Khan and Erykah Badu. I am available solo with background recording tracks or I can bring my band, depending on your budget. I am charismatic and can do a family friendly show (family reunion vibe), festivals too, but am also experienced with the nite life crowd.
