It’s fun to kinda live vicariously through your music and be able to be a bit braver in your imaginary life.” Overnight internet sensation Carly Rae may appear coy and shy but in reality the smouldering brunette is a go-getting, high flying one woman phenomenon with a fierce set of vocal chords. Cherry picked by founder of Schoolboy records, Justin brown eyes Beiber, Carly seriously caught the attention of the music industry after racking up an outstanding 30 million youtube hits with number one billboard hit Call me Maybe. Going on to score number one hits in 19 other countries, Carly is currently practising for her next gig, performing in Time Square on New Year’s Eve before the clock strikes midnight and we all celebrate the passing of another year. With a lot to be thankful for, the past twelve months have brought this pop starlet the kind of international fame billions only dream of.
