Carmela moved to Los Angeles in ‘92 , working in the L. A. Theater scene and on several feature films with such notable film directors as Rob Reiner, Wolfgang Petersen, Jonathan Lynn and Ken Kwapis. She continued her vocal training with Dan Balestrero. She began to perform in the L. A. Jazz scene with the Jon Mayer trio and recorded her first record 'Black and White', a straight ahead standards record with them. After appearing in many of the local clubs she began to branch out and work with established musicians recording her second Album with Paul Smith, Jim DeJulio and Joe LaBarbera. This cd 'Regarding Frank' was a tribute record to Sinatra and his 50’s Capitol years. Shortly after this she formed her own trio which featured guitarist/ song writer Hirth Martinez. Out of this trio ‘The Girl Who Dreams Out Loud’ was conceived.
