New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Singer/songwriter Carl Brister first came to national attention when his works were featured on NBC, BET, Pandora,
Music Choice, Spotify and more. He describes his sound as �free music� that combines elements of soul, R&B, pop, and dance in a retro fusion that takes you back while moving you forward. One can hear that formula in Carl�s single, �L.O.V.E.� which is now available as a remix by Mark Wilson.
�I write music that makes you laugh, smile and think,� Carl explains. �There�s always a feel-good element to my music. 'L.O.V.E.' is a reminder that no matter what we face in our lives and the world, the bottom line is we have to start from that place called love."
A native of Plainfield, NJ and alumnus of Seton Hall University, Carl�s pedigree is in education, where he finds joy in teaching children in urban communities. �I currently work in Newark, NJ as a math/science instructional coach for grades k -8 for 2-1/2 years,� he explains. �My role is to coach the teachers on how to provide quality instruction and help them work with students. Prior to this I started out as a math teacher in Newark Public Schools for six years.�
A husband and proud father of two sons, Carl is the CEO and founder of
Music Village and uses music to bring people together through the The Love+Unity Fest - a free family event created to inspire unity in the community. Carl uses that platform to help get his message of love, unity, understanding and togetherness.
�Carl�s voice and message resonates with audiences that are looking for a glimmer of hope in the world,� says
Pandora Music�s Akim Bryant. �His single, �L.O.V.E.�, speaks to the heart during these uncertain times."
"It�s only right that �L.O.V.E.� is now available as a dance remix," says Carl. "We�re coming out of the darkest period of our lives and still facing many issues but at the same time we need a moment to smile, to laugh and to be motivated. That�s what 'L.O.V.E. -The Remix' does � combines all of these aspects in one tune.�
