Carl Graves

Carl received his formal musical training from the prestigious Royal Toronto Conservatory of Music, later completing studies in Jazz. His first major professional success in America came as a member of Capitol Records' recording artists, "Skylark," led by internationally renowned producer-composer David Foster. With the success of "Skylark" and his growing reputation as a dynamic performer, Carl embarked on a solo career, recording two albums with A&M Records. His hit single included "Baby Hang Up The Phone" and "Heart Be still." In the late 80s, Carl was invited by producer-composer [a=Danny Elfman] to join MCA recording group [a=Oingo Boingo] as keyboardist/vocalist. He subsequently toured and recorded three albums with the group from 1988 to 1993.
