A rural town like Hiram, Georgia may not seem a likely starting point for an international recording artist—but that is exactly where Carol Albert’s musical journey began. In early childhood, Carol loved nothing more than sharing the piano bench with her beloved grandmother.
“My grandmother lost an arm to cancer, so she played the bass with her left hand and taught me to play the treble with my right. She also composed songs in her sleep and taught them to me. In sharing her melodies, she shared her love for me and her love of music.”
As her musical curiosity deepened, Carol’s aptitude for classical piano flourished. She earned a Bachelor of Music degree from Georgia State University, then embarked on a career that has left its mark nationally and internationally.
Carol has since become one of contemporary jazz’s most consistent charting artists.She has released 11 studio albums, earning four #1 Billboard Smooth Jazz/MediaBase singles Her first breakout #1 Billboard / MediaBase Smooth Jazz hit, “Paradigm Shift,” remained on the charts for 23 weeks, establishing her as a formidable presence in the genre. She has followed that success with numerous Top 10 Smooth Jazz singles and a catalog of recordings that continue to receive strong national airplay.
Her albums—Pieces of Me, Magic Mirror, Stronger Now, and Fly Away Butterfly—have earned widespread recognition, with Stronger Now surpassing 15 million Spotify streams. Drawing from her classical training, Carol creates music that blends melodic contemporary jazz with rhythmic grooves and expressive piano-driven music that is expressive, accessible, and emotionally resonant.
A dynamic live performer, Carol has appeared at venues and festivals across the U.S. and abroad, including Myron’s Jazz at The Smith Center, Middle C Jazz Club, Lyman Center, Berks Jazz Festival, Elmira Jazz Festival, Catalina JazzTrax Festival, Brass City Music Festival, City Winery, and many more. Her touring history also includes three European tours and an international cruise performances departing from France.
Before her commercial breakthrough, Carol received an Emmy nomination for her work composing music for television. Her career honors include HMMA (Hollywood Music in Media Awards) nominations, Georgia Composer of the Year, Smooth Jazz Network Artist of the Year nominations, and multiple songwriting awards. She was also a Baldwin Piano Artist, sharing that distinction with artists such as Billy Joel and Bruce Hornsby.
