It’s hard to believe this LA native has been writing music for under two years and already has a loyal following. Carey began belting melodic tunes off of her backyard balcony at the early age of three. After raising a family and owning a chain of successful retail home stores, this captivating performer and soulful storyteller returned to the music community in 2011 with her first album, “New Favorites.” Her company, (aptly named Heather Road for the street she grew up on), produced the album of aurally seductive vocals influenced by Melody Gardot, Patti Griffin, Cheryl Wheeler and Judith Owen.

She has since teamed up with artist and producer Lisa Nemzo (Bonnie Raitt, David Crosby, Heart), who produced her newest album “House of Cards” - featuring original songs written by Carey and co-writer Marc Platt. “I melt when I hear female vocalists who remind me of Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins, Carly Simon and Laura Nyro. Carey Appel is one of them. Her ‘House of Cards’ (Dream Wild) packs a brash wallop and benefits greatly from Nashville production. Appel’s voice is strong and pure, and her songs are musically enveloping and lyrically meaningful. Sample “Wish I’d Been There” and “Wait and See”. Appel doesn’t waste any time capturing your heart.” Jazzwax, May 2013.

For her new soon to be releases single and video, "Stolen", Carey has continued along this artistic trajectory, and created what may be her most accomplished music yet. She lives with her husband and continues to write and perform locally in the La area and is dedicated to children’s charities. For more info visit http://www.careyappel.com.
