Louise Carver is a classically trained pianist who has had extensive vocal training since age 6. She has been writing songs on the piano since 11yrs old.

She was signed to her first record label in South Africa at 15 (Silver Tulip Music), released her first single at 17, and followed it up with an album at the young age of 18.

Her first Single: ‘It Don’t Matter’ (released at the end of 1996) reached the number 1 position on the national Campus Charts and after 11 weeks on the 5FM Top 40, reached 3rd position.

Her remarkable and unique talent combines a fantastic blend of folksy rock and catchy pop, making her one of South Africa’s most hot and happening female vocalists.

Her second single, ‘Fallen for You’, claimed the no. 6 position on the 5FM top 40, but she also made a name for herself on the Belgium National Dance charts when she got the no. 1 spot with her song ‘Play the Game’ with Kenny Hawkes –British Deep House producer and DJ.

With single sales doing so well, 2 remixes were released in 2003: Phil Weeks remix and Stefan Goldmann remix. The artwork for ‘Play the Game’ has become a classic collectors item for vinyl fanatics.

Their forthcoming collaboration, ‘String Me Along’, will be released later this year.
