Overview
Singing, violin, and music in general are my passion! I never perform without putting my entire heart into each note. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Vocal Music from Eastern Michigan University and I have professional violin skills as well as some piano and guitar skills. My main focus of study in school was vocal music, however, I have been playing the violin for over 20 years. Music brings me so much joy, and I would love to share that joy with others. I have a lot of performance experience and am flexible; I can sing or play whatever genre (and language) of music that you want for your wedding or other event! I have sung in English, Italian, German, French, Korean, and Spanish.

December 4, 2024What a Voice and a Joy to Work With!
My name is Genot Picor. I manage La Compagnie Musical Dance Troupe® based in Warren, Michigan. Carrie was a guest performer on our latest CD "Here's a Health to La Compagnie," and has performed live with La C and in a trio (violin, guitar, voice). Her rich, soothing voice can stand out as a lead or blend in harmony, and what a range! Carrie came to our attention as a referral from a local music teacher to help us complete our musical/performance studies project. We are proud to have her as a member of La Compagnie Musical Dance Troupe®. On y va!
Hired as: Celtic Music, Folk Singer, World Music

December 11, 2023Fantastic!
Carrie was so great! She was so easy to work with and plan with. She coordinated with our church musician, making everything so easy for us. She is absolutely a skilled musician, leaving all of our wedding guests raving about her. We also left all of our cocktail hour music to her, and she absolutely nailed it. We are so grateful for Carrie!

**If your event is OUTDOORS, please keep in mind that instruments cannot survive every type of weather!!
