Carolyn McCormack was born in Hamilton Ontario. She was the 4th of 6 children. The family later moved to Dunchurch, which is a small village northeast of Parry Sound, Ontario. She was introduced to music early in her life. Her father and his brothers were accomplished musicians originally from Prince Edward Island. They played throughout Ontario and Eastern Canada. Some had recorded albums, performed with the likes of Don Messer, Marie Bottrell, as well as performing on television and in Nashville.

As a young child, Carolyn began accompanying her father on the piano and vocally. She started writing songs at the age of 14. She continued to sing at school, community events, and with her family. But at the age of 19, her father was killed in an automobile accident, and she stopped singing and performing for a time.

Later on, family, non-musical career obligations, and responsibilities took much of Carolyn’s time. However, she continued to write and sing privately. Over the last 5 years she has had the opportunity to rededicate her time, interest, and passion for her first love, and calling…music.

Her father's family played traditional "east coast" and country music, younger family members were in rock bands, and the radio played a mix of all styles of music. Because of Carolyn's exposure to all kinds of music, she is a very diverse songwriter who has received significant recognition for her talents.

Carolyn has performed all over Southern Ontario and her debut album, “Livin’ Dangerously” has sold in Canada, England, UK, Portland Oregon, and the States through CDBaby.
