Carla Geneve
In her prolific but (so far) short career Carla Geneve has garnered two Australian Live Music Awards and the Vanda & Young Emerging Artist Prize. Her debut album ‘Learn To Like It’ garnered an Australian Music Prize nomination, while her 2023 release "Hertz" secured critical praise and was Australian National radio Double J feature album, as well as it being listed by the same station as number 35 of the best albums of 2023.
Carla Geneve is a must-see powerhouse, with raw vulnerability and storytelling prowess.
