CAROL WELSMAN, a internationally-acclaimed pianist and singer, is renowned for her dynamic stage presence and expressive vocal stylings. Her sales in Canada have exceeded 60,000, which is something that few Canadian jazz musicians can boast of. Carol is a sight to behold and you will never forget. She is tall and blonde and sits at the piano with her head back. Her fingers are crossed over the keys. Her slender body curves in a seductive curve. The music starts, a mixture of voice and piano which seems to be symbiotically connected. Carol’s sweet and fruity sound, as well as her rhythmic, articulate piano notes, seem to be an integral part of one another, much like Joao Gilberto, bossa nova legend. She is a rare female jazz singer who has brought a unique blend of musicality, lyrical insight and vocal talent to a world that has seen many other female artists. It is no surprise that Carol focuses on the core elements of her art. Her grandfather founded and was the first conductor of Toronto Symphony. She studied at Berklee College of Music in the U.S. and Europe. She has released seven albums since her debut CD, “Lucky To be Me,” in 1995. She has received five Juno (Canadian Grammy), Award nominations, including the “Jazz Album of the Year”, for I LIKE Men, as well as several CDN Smooth Jazz Awards. As an international performer, she has established herself as a well-known artist. She tours the globe and can be heard in English, French, Portuguese, and Italian. Carol is a talented musician, and one of Canada’s best vocalists and pianists. From www.carolwelsman.com
