EARL CARTER - BIOGRAPHY

Earl Carter is a Washington, DC based multi-instrumentalist, music producer and contemporary jazz artist whose talent, professionalism, and star-quality has officially put him in the class of “Billboard Recording Artist". In his earlier years, Earl secured a spot as a member of the platinum selling group, Experience Unlimited (commonly known as E.U.), where he recorded music for the soundtrack to “Do The Right Thing", a Spike Lee production and the live music video titled "GoGo Live at the Capital Center". As a result of those experiences, Earl began getting more involved with studio production. He began to produce musical projects for local and national artists, as well as, co-produce dialogue recordings for such names as Les Brown, Willie Jolley, George Fraser, and famous athletes Jawan Howard, and Nikki McCray. During the late nineties, he recorded guitar and bass parts for multiple producers at Daddy's House in NYC for Sean "Diddy" Combs' Bad Boy Entertainment record label. Over the years, Earl has performed with many artists, local, national, and international. As a freelance musician, he has worked with Marcus Johnson, Alyson Williams, Bobby Lyle, Freddie Jackson, Angela Bofill, Regina Belle, Marion Meadows, Michael Lington, Jackiem Joyner, Mya, Syleena Johnson, Sy Smith, Bob Baldwin, Tony Terry, and more and has been a performing artist opening act for Parliament Funkadelic, Pieces of a Dream, Spyro Gyra, Bona Fide, and many others. Earl has performed Blues Alley, Rams Head Onstage and many other historic venues in DC and Maryland. He also performed for The National Smooth Jazz Awards in San Diego, The Bermuda Jazz Festivals, The Ghana Jazz Festival and many other televised events. He has also been the featured performer for many radio station concerts. As a front man, Earl’s band, “The Carter Project" features other world-class musicians and consistently gives the audience a spectacular show. He has just released his ninth personal CD project “Silky" which is now available via Apple Music and most online stores. Earl was the lead guitarist and bassist for two variety groups, contracted for one of the wealthiest men in the world "Sheik Mohammed Hussein Al-Amoudi" to be the featured bands at the five-star hotel "The Sheraton Addis" located in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. During that time he made several trips to Ethiopia averaging three months per visit (spending six out of twelve months overseas) and returned for two additional promotional tours.
