From the opening notes of Carl Thornton's debut single, "GET UP!" one hears the melodic drive and irresistible, electrifying, and pulsating beat that entices you to move with unabashed joy.

Singer, songwriter, and actor Carl Thornton was born in North Carolina but at the tender age of three his parents moved to Long Island, New York where he was raised. Carl began singing at the age of seven in an elementary school chorus. While on stage of the very first performance he had an epiphany that singing was what he wanted to do with his life.

Carl has been performing professionally for ten years. His talents have taken him to Austria, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Holland, Istanbul, Dubai, and Portugal. In 2012 he was contracted to tour and sing in China where he performed in Shanghai, Gangzhou, Fuzhou, and Hong Kong at the Starlight Dance Clubs.
