Artist’s

Carrington is a rising music sensation who from a young age, has been

influenced by all styles of music. This

influence affords him the ability to

bring a complete package of musical

gifts to the table including but not

limited to singing, aproducing, and

songwriting. Between church, school

band, chorus, and being surrounded

by a family of musicians and singers,

Carrington has become a walking

collage of many genres of music. His

sound is rich with youthful energy

accompanied by powerfully distinct

melody lines.

OVERVIEW

Carrington has the ability to deliver

upbeat dance/party records, big

ballads, and everything in between.

He has the commercial allure of any

of today’s top selling artists but also

possesses the raw musical talent

that made yesterday’s trailblazers

legendary. In an age where songs leave

little to the imagination, Carrington

deliver’s good feeling music that

isn’t “R rated”. A breath of fresh air,

Carrington is a music sensation

rising! For booking or more
