BEST FEMale Vocalist
BEST FEMALE VOCALISTS NOMINEES 2022
Carrie Hare

I’ve been singing since I was three years old. At an early age I began studying voice at Willoughby Fine Arts Association. I was soon was named the lead female vocalist in their Mozart opera. I performed in many theater productions at the Lake Performing Arts Association and the Fine Arts Association and often secured lead vocal parts. I sang in many church and school choirs which helped me learn and understand the structure of singing harmonies. I also attended the Ohio State Harmony Camp upon the invitation of my high school choir director.
I’ve won many singing contests and had the opportunity to make two CD’s at Big Mama Recording Studios in Tennessee. I won first place at FYE music store competition providing me the opportunity to perform as a soloist in Las Vegas in a national TV commercial. I have performed multiple times in Nashville including a TV show called National Spot. I sang the National Anthem for the American Heart Association several times. I was named Shining Star of Lake County in 2012. I was a semi-finalist in the world wide Voice of McDonald’s contests two separate times. In 2009 I was labeled as one of top 30 vocalists in the world and 2013 I was in the top 25 out of 10,00 entries from multiple countries.
Alex Bevan wrote and produced a Laketran commercial for our Northern Ohio Transit Authority which I sang and recorded with two of my friends.. I have performed as one of three lead vocalists in a 9 piece group (The Girls) which opened for entertainers such as David Allen Coe and was also the side stage opener for Toby Keith at Blossom Music Center.
While I was in college I won Greek Idol at Kent State University which raised money for Make-A-Wish.
I love all types of music especially Country and Classic Rock. I even studied Brazilian music at Baldwin Wallace College Latin Jazz Summer Camp.
I currently hold a Bachelors degree in Music from Kent State University. I perform regularly in a Neil Diamond Tribute Band called “The Diamond Project Band”. Also, I am in a duo called “White Magnolia”.
I currently work as a Supervisor in the cyber security division of a global Accounting Company.
