As a Singer/Songwriter, Carlos combines great chord progressions and wonderful lyrics to express his soulful view of Life, Love, and the challenges of the world around us.  And if you happen to get your hands on his music, I’m sure you’ll understand why so many people view his writing style as a tasteful reflection of the classic format found in the late 70’s and early 80’s from such artists as Steely Dan, Michael Franks, and Boz Scaggs.
