Carla Olive

Singer/Songwriter and Recording Artist, Carla Olive presents her dynamic musical abilities in pop rock riffs and rhythms with interesting melody lines. Her music speaks with dynamics and feel, as her lyrics challenge the heart and mind… passionate about social issues, and honest in difficulties of the heart.

With over 20 years on the music scene, she has produced six albums; performed countless venues and festivals all over North America; freelanced for some great artists; and continues to write, collaborate and record.

Carla resides in Victoria BC where she can be found performing in all kinds of local venues both solo and with her trio, and probably hosting a weekly open mic or jam.   Passionate about promoting/supporting female Songwriters like herself, she is curator/host for The Indie YYC Women In Music series – featuring artists from all over the globe and has an all female rock band called St. Cecilia – covering women in rock music – encouraging local female artists to participate in their shows.  Check out her latest project in musical form: www.the3project.com
