Details:
With an impressive group of friends in tow, including Mike Patton (Faith No More, Peeping Tom), Jerry Goodman (Mahavishnu Orchestra), Ruper Hine, Carmine Rojas, Kátia Moraes, and more, Carla Hassett gets set to release her anticipated sophomore effort where she dives deeper into her Brazilian roots, exploring bossa nova and beyond into the rhythms of Bahia as the foundation for her hooky latin pop.

Carla's self-produced music has been compared to Bebel Gilberto as well as Beck, but her gifted voice demonstrates a vocal passion more along the lines of a young Aretha Franklin with hints of Diana Crawl, and Sade.

Carla has toured and/or recorded with popular acts Billy Idol, Gino Vannelli, Michael Bublé, REO Speedwagon, Jon Anderson, Christopher Cross, as well as Latin legends Sergio Mendez, Mexico's Christian Castro, and Brazil's Marcelo Augusto. Carla is also the featured vocalist in the Robert Towne (Chinatown) major motion picture Ask The Dust, and lends her voice in Portuguese to the Disney feature Kronk's New Groove.

Carla has just completed a stellar music video for the popular song Not Real Love (which can be viewed at http://carlamusic.com/video/). She currently lives in Los Angeles where she records and teaches voice and piano at Flea's (Red Hot Chili Peppers) Silverlake Conservatory of Music.
