Emotions make a mess. It's not the kind of mess you can just shove under the bed either. Carol Ades isn't here to help you scrub out the mess until you can't see it anymore. Instead, she's here to help you celebrate it, learn something from it, and move on confidently because of it. The New Jersey-born and Los Angeles-based artist, singer, and songwriter wants to empower you, but she's going to keep it real too. Carol dedicated her whole life to music and even had a few brushes with major success on stage and behind-the-scenes. Following a bad breakup, she turned inward and wasn't afraid to get raw in 2018. Under the influence of everything from the series Fleabag, Greta Gerwig, Elizabeth Gilbert, and Glennon Doyle, to Japanese House, MUNA, and Phoebe Bridgers, she began to write her own "coming of age" story. Ironically, the first song of this phase ended up in the hands of two other artists, becoming "Past Life" for Trevor Daniel and Selena Gomez. With the onset of quarantine, she wrote for herself at a prolific pace, making emotional lyric-driven songs "you can scream to or sob to in your car." You'll find she's a lot like the friend who lets you cry on her shoulder, but still tells it like it is when you need to hear it the most, holding your hand through the mess with timeless music of her own.
