Mini bio
How it started.
Carly grew up in Mission, British Columbia, and pursued performing arts before finishing third on Canadian Idol in 2007. She supported herself with waitressing and street performances, then released the folk-leaning Tug of War in 2008.
The song that travelled.
Call Me Maybe carried her into the international spotlight in 2012 after Justin Bieber helped spread the song. It spent nine weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned two Grammy nominations. Kiss followed that year.
An album world of her own.
E•MO•TION arrived in 2015, followed by Dedicated in 2019, The Loneliest Time in 2022 and The Loveliest Time in 2023. Her companion releases give fans more songs from the same creative chapters. In 2026, Day and Night stretched that approach into a double album with contrasting sounds.
Back to the stage.
Alongside recording, Carly played Cinderella on Broadway in 2014 and Frenchy in Grease: Live. She is now writing music and lyrics with Ethan Gruska for the stage adaptation of 10 Things I Hate About You.
