Carla Williams
Carla Williams, a Mobile, AL native, mother of four, entrepreneur, model, and singer. Many people hold one of these titles, but few could do it all. This Bayou based songstress has been performing since she was three years old logging her first appearance in front of an audience at her childhood church. Carla has always written or chosen to sing songs that related to her own life. “If I sing it, I have lived it.”
“Has anyone ever told you that you sound like Karen Carpenter?”
Carla had heard this throughout her music career and has responded by releasing “A Tribute to The Carpenters.” The album is comprised of 15 covers of original Carpenters tunes and includes special guest duets, with Sir Cliff Richard, Toto’s, Steve Lukather, and Chicago’s Bill Champlin and Jeff Coffey. Backed by lush arrangements, her voice bright, warm, and rich just like Karen Carpenters’, Carla glides through classics such as “We’ve Only Just Begun,” “Rainy Days and Mondays,” “Close To You”, and more, released January 28, 2022.
The album also includes the Carpenters’ classic Christmas song “Merry Christmas Darling,” and country star Billy Dean joined Carla for a deluxe version of the group’s No. 1 holiday hit. The pair recently shot a video for the tender Christmas classic that showcases their chemistry that really made this song complete, released in November 2021.
Beyond her musical talents, she has modeled in campaigns for companies ranging from Dillard’s to Buckle, and Co-owner and President of Innovative Medicine Partners, which accelerates the market introduction of new medical devices. She is a co-patent holder and inventor of novel medical technology in audio.
“It’s been such a satisfying event to see the two worlds collide,” Carla explains, “because, I’ve always said, medicine heals the body and music heals the soul.”
Carla is a member of The Country Music Association, The Academy of Country Music, The Nashville Songwriters Association, the Country Music Hall of Fame, National Association of Professional Women, International Association of Professional Women and MedtechWOMEN. She has had songs that have landed on the country charts and picked up a Female Vocalist of the Year win at the New Music Awards in Los Angeles.
Today, Carla resides in Nashville, TN.

About the Album
Carla Williams’ creative journey started more than a decade ago with a single question: “Has anyone ever told you that you sound like Karen Carpenter?” Carla had heard this throughout her music career and has responded by releasing “A Tribute to The Carpenters.” The album is comprised of 15 covers of original Carpenters tunes and includes special guest duets, with Sir Cliff Richard, Toto’s, Steve Lukather, and Chicago’s Bill Champlin and Jeff Coffey. Backed by lush arrangements, her voice bright, warm, and rich just like Karen Carpenters’, Carla glides through classics such as “We’ve Only Just Begun,” “Rainy Days and Mondays,” “Close to You”, and more. The journey of making “A Tribute to The Carpenters” was life-changing for Carla. She hopes listeners find glimmers of the truths she discovered while living with these songs. “It took me back to that time when love and appreciation of music is what it should have been,” she says. “I want this era of music to be brought back. I want people to appreciate The Carpenters … If you really sit down and listen to their music, it’s almost incomprehensible, almost perfection.”
