Carmen Lee was practically born into this world singing , which seems appropriately fitting since even her name ‘Carmen’ means ‘song’ in Latin. Her first song, written at the age of four years, is a bluesy tune in which she sings and accompanies herself on an old upright piano; the only lyrics being “It’s a hard way of livin’, do do dah, do do dah”. It’s hard to imagine that a four year old could understand the troubles of a hard life, but Carmen sang it with such feeling and conviction that it made folks wonder if she was an old blues singer re-incarnated! Although she never had vocal lessons, Carmen began piano lessons at the age of eight and continued with lessons until she graduated high school. She won numerous awards in her school years with classical music; playing Chopin piano nocturnes and waltzes, singing Italian arias, and acting in school plays and musicals. But when it was her choice to pick a song for a concert, she would always choose her favorite - Elvis Presley.
