Carla Stark, born Carla Biset-Bentchikou to an Algerian-German mother and a French father, has lived in France, Vietnam, Belgium, and India, and now London, embracing her identity as a true citizen of the world.

 

Carla proudly embraces her multifaceted nature, describing herself as a chameleon who adapts and reinvents herself across her travels and experiences.

​

Music has been Carla’s lifelong companion. With her father's saxophone filling her childhood home, she grew up listening to everything from Stevie Wonder to Korn and could sing Claude Nougaro before she could even speak. She studied piano rigorously for 16 years until school took priority.

 

Later, in Belgium, she earned a Master’s in Economics from Solvay Business School, presenting a thesis on music therapy.  After a stint in the corporate world, Carla followed her heart and dove into the arts, studying at the Cours Florent theatre school in Brussels and later joining the European tour of the Indian musical “Beyond Bollywood,” where she found herself both on stage and behind the scenes.

​

Carla’s first album, Karma, was a journey through heartbreak and self-discovery, while her EP C. explored both the sorrows and joys of new beginnings.

 

Today, Carla’s music is raw and personal Her latest single, “A Million Lives” is a deeply intimate tribute to healing after miscarriage. Through her music, Carla offers listeners a sense of solace, believing that her songs can inspire others to find healing just as she has.
