Fun Fact:
Carrie grew up in Bermuda, playing both flute and piccolo in her high school band, and devouring British 80s tunes — from Bowie and The Clash to Duran Duran and The English Beat. Weekends were often spent memorizing lyrics and performing in garage band jams. Nowadays Carrie attends concerts as often as possible!
