CARLA FRANCO is a 27 year old singer/songwriter originally hailing from Bloemfontein, and currently residing in Johannesburg. Her love for music started at a young age with her first piano lesson at the age of 7. CARLA was born with a hearing impairment, suffers from 20-30% hearing loss and has been wearing hearing aids for many years.

Never one to falter in the face of adversity, CARLA has never allowed this to be a defining factor in her life. Against recommendations, she attended a normal school and never requested any special treatment.
