of love that touches the soul.

stages in Europe, Africa, The Caribbean, and throughout the United States. “Each time I perform I think about how you never know what this moment can mean to someone. So I give it all I got.”

Carl’s lyrics to his soulful single & video “Let’s Go Back” are true to his sound. The “Let’s Go Back” dance remix will be released in summer 2019.
