Haling from England, Carina had an innate determination and passion for music from an early age, which led her to record and self-release her first two albums, ‘First Blood Mystery’ and ‘The Disconnection’. The former shaped by erratic yet engaging sounds drawing from her love of legends Patti Smith, Tom Waits and Jeff Buckley. The latter took those influences into much more powerful and personal realms.
These two albums led to her being signed by Interscope Records, who re-released ‘The Disconnection’ album in 2004. This brought Carina US bound to Los Angeles where she recorded her bewitching and seductive album ‘Slow Motion Addict’ with acclaimed producer Glen Ballard. Accompanying this release in 2007 was a unique 12-part episodic series that cleverly coincided with each track, creating a visual story for the album. In this film Carina starred as the troubled lead character, Maisie Scarlett.
A couple years later, after parting ways with Interscope, Carina toured with Annie Lennox and self-released her ethereal and nakedly confessional EP ‘Things You Should Know’, which resulted in considerable success. Her new songs were featured in numerous film & TV shows and multiple radio stations, including KCRW, championed her music. Carina became a touring member of Puscifer, Tool’s Maynard James Keenan’s band, and worked on their album ‘Conditions of My Parole’ and 'Donkey Punch The Night'.
Carina co-writes and performs frequently with other artists she admires, including singing on The Twilight Singers album ‘Dynamite Steps’, working with the award winning composers John Debney and Glen Ballard on a song composed for the film ‘Valentine’s Day’, writing with Academy Award winner Marco Beltrami, performing and touring with Tears For Fears, as well as completing a couple albums with her Alt-Country side project Early Winters. TV and film placements include American Horror Story, Pretty Little Liars, Dollhouse, Being Human, Vampire Diaries, GRIMM, Teen Wolf, Warner Brothers film ‘The Lucky Ones’, the film ‘Dark Hearts’ as well as many more. Currently Carina tours with Puscifer and is working on new materials.
