About Carolina East
Carolina East didn’t have an interest in music until the age of 16 when she started playing cover songs in bars downtown. For 18 years, she played in bars, but knew she needed more or to give up the bar scene entirely. Going back and forth from her day job to gigs, she’d clock 18-hour days.
It wasn’t until recently that she started songwriting and working on her own music. She says, “I didn’t think anything I’d write about was what people cared about. I had always journaled and wrote poems.” She was in the studio from 2016 doing session work, but she really kicked off her solo career in 2018.

Despite the obstacles, Carolina East has had a lot of cool experiences with people and is grateful for the support she’s received in her musical journey.
