Our Story
Every artist has to start somewhere. Carla's story is no different. Her humble beginnings start when she was born to her Parents, Puerto Rican immigrants landing in NYC's Spanish Harlem. Seeing them work hard to win the "American Dream" gave her the hunger to succeed in the city that never sleeps.
Carla attended NYC's famed LaGuardia High school of Music & Art made famous by the movie "Fame". It was here she cultivated her craft and subsequently she went on to study musical theater and acting at NYC's American Musical and Dramatic Academy. By night, she worked at the Metropolitan Opera house and watched operatic artists as they projected their voices to fill the opera house without amplification, she soon adopted their techniques into her Pop style of singing and has never looked back!
Taking her first steps as a young artist was daunting but also motivational, because this is what she was born to do! Having her esteemed background is the reason clients seek her out to make their events an amazing experience.
Carla is not only a creative artist, she has lived in two worlds for most of her adult life - music/the arts and technology. As a technologist she has helmed many IT projects with leading IT solutions for her clients, helping them to transition traditional business processes to the Cloud.
With Carla V, you not only work with an established artist - you get a solid business professional who understands how to run an event beginning to end for her clients.
