Carol has been known in jazz circles since she was just 15. She started her recording career in 1984 and has, to date, recorded 18 albums. She has received many accolades from great artists including Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra. The greatest compliment was a personal request from Frank Sinatra to appear with him in 1990 at his Ibrox Stadium performance.

 
In 1994, Carol was invited by the Chinese Government to perform in China as "The Ambassador of British Jazz" - and, as such, was the first European artist to perform there for 25 years.
 
Her signature song, WHEN I DREAM was a Billboard No 1 Hit in Japan and Korea after it was used as the theme song for a Korean motion picture "Shiri" - a movie which out-grossed "Titanic" - the other global blockbuster that year! In Korea, "When I Dream" was No 1 in the charts for 13 weeks and led to large-scale, sell-out concerts across South East Asia.
 
Carol is affectionately known as "The Diva" in this part of the world where she performs to capacity audiences. She has recently returned from successful concert appearances in Shanghai and Hong Kong.
