Queen Carolyn T

Vocalist, Entertainer, TED Talks Speaker, Voice and Performance Coach

Greetings Music Lovers! My name is Queen Carolyn T, Professional Diva and Chanteuse. I've been singing for over 30 yrs and nothing pleases me more than entertaining a crowd. I've performed at weddings, conferences, Christmas parties,  birthdays, anniversaries,  churches, conventions, house parties and so much more.  I work as a soloist (either a capella or with musical accompaniment) or with a full band consisting of super-talented professional musicians performing all sorts of genres like jazz, soul, r&b, funk, gospel, classical, music theatre, pop, rock, reggae etc. I have the best job in the world and it would be an honour to sing at your special event!

Solo Artist

The best part of what I do is all the fun, new and exciting challenges. My amazing clients book me for all sorts of different reasons: 

  • Session Singer for studio recordings or live performances, either as backups or lead.
  • Wedding Singer for ceremonies and first dances.
  • Singing Telegram for birthdays and marriage proposals.
  • Spoken Word Artist for live poetry readings.
  • Actor for videos or voice overs.

Live Band

The great thing about being a solo artist is I can be flexible with my band size.  With myself on vocals, I can provide a:

  • Jazz Cocktail duo, trio or quartet, consisting of keys, bass or drums. Classy yet low key. Perfect for a cocktail party.
  • Funk Party Band, 5 to 7 pcs, consisting of keys, bass, drums, guitar and/or sax (horns). Perfect for dancing. 
  • Big Band, 8pcs and up consisting of keys, bass, drums, guitar, percussions, backups and a horn sections. Perfect for a big bash!

  • Session Singer for studio recordings or live performances.
  • Singing Telegram for birthdays and marriage proposals.

Song List

Genres:

  • jazz, soul, r&b, funk, gospel

Singing Telegram

Classy yet Casual. No Clowns, No Costumes ...just pure raw talent.

A singing telegram is perfect for putting a smile on the face of someone you care about. I've been called on to sing everything from Happy Birthday at a Birthday BBQ to "Signed Sealed Delivered" at an office to congratulate a colleague for closing the deal!  A beautiful song is the best way to tell your colleagues and loved ones how much they mean to you. Let me know how you want to surprise that special someone!

Genres

  • jazz, soul, r&b, funk, gospel
  • classical, music theatre, pop
  • rock, reggae etc.

I deliver a *SURPRISE* Singing Telegram to a friend, family member or colleague! Perfect for Birthdays, Thank You's, Anniversaries, Wedding Proposals etc.

  • 1 or 2 songs
  • A capella (1 or 2 songs with no instrumental accompaniment)

**Please keep in mind that even though the Singing Telegram is a "surprise" there are restrictions and limitations to where a singing telegram can take place. Some public venues/spaces like restaurants and offices do not allow it. There must be a contact (a manger, owner etc) at the location that can act as a liaison. This will make the experience go much smoother. Thank you for your understanding.

Professional Vocalist, Entertainer, Actor, TED Talks Speaker, Voice and Performance Coach

VOCAL EUPHORIA WEBSITE

A dynamic, visionary performer, director, and storyteller, Carolyn Thompson ’s passion for performance grew out of a homelife imbued with eclectic musical tastes, from the roots reggae and calypso favoured by her mother to the 80’s rock her older brothers enjoyed. These diverse sounds and energies laid the foundation for a lifelong passion for telling moving, compelling stories through music.

In her early years, Carolyn joined the string ensemble – learning classical technique on the cello, upright bass, and viola – and attended drama classes – finding her confidence and freedom on the stage, before joining choir, where she performed classical, music theatre, and pop. Hooked, she knew this was her calling.

In her debut solo public performance (senior year of high school), Carolyn performed Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance With Somebody,” partnering with Jim Creeggan on electric bass and Ed Robertson on guitar (of Barenaked Ladies fame). The rush transformed Carolyn’s trajectory, and continues to ignite her every performance, charming new and return audiences alike!

With a spellbinding fusion of Jazz (Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington), Acid Jazz (Brand New Heavies, Incognito, Jamiroquai), Soul (Chaka Khan, Jill Scott), R&B (Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston) Pop (Michael Jackson, Luba) and Funk (Stevie Wonder, James Brown) influences, Carolyn captivates audiences of all sizes. From festivals such as the renowned Toronto Beaches International Jazz Festival and the Taste of Little Italy as the frontwoman of Cobra Kings, Project Phoenix, and more, to playing the Toronto circuit as the lead of the Carolyn T Band, her electric personal continues to engage and invigorate audiences.

Strongly focused on supporting her community, Carolyn has headlined local events, including the 2007 and 2008 Think Pink fundraisers, Diva Night 2008 (featured on CITY-TV’s Breakfast Television), and Diva Night 2009 Mother’s Day. She also launched the Open Jam Night @ Harlem Restaurant in 2009, emceeing the weekly community event to promote local Jazz, Soul, R&B, and Funk musicians and performers. This event held a central place in the Toronto music scene until its final jam session on 2012. She also has hosted a TEDx talk (Stage fright: Carolyn Thompson at TEDxMilton), and was interviewed on CTV Pop Life(How can you conquer a fear of stage fright? The Pop Life panel discusses) with singers Keiza and Ambur Braid.

Having worked to overcome her own performance anxieties, Carolyn leveraged those experiences in 2009 to launch her brand, Vocal Euphoria, where she partners with clients and individuals eager to explore their own voices, goals, and performance capabilities. With an intuitive approach, she empowers clients to lean into fears and anxieties to achieve the authenticity and strength that can only come from a place of vulnerability. From bands and performance groups, to individual actors and vocalists, to public speaking students, Ms. Thompson builds tailored coaching strategies that effectively utilize client strengths, doubts, and targets to propel outstanding personal growth. Key coaching engagements include: Voice Coach Expert in an episode of NewlyWed Nearly Dead, Voice & Performance Group Sessions at Centennial College, and Performance Sessions with PriceWaterhouse Cooper. She has also served as the Keynote Speaker for the Beaches Rotary Club and 3rd Annual "Womans Worth" Events.

A prolific actor, Carolyn has also appeared in commercials, shows, and movies, including "Renovate my Wardrobe" and "Sheridan College Game Design" Commercial, as well as the MADD (Mothers against Drunk Driving) movie “Shattered,” shown in high schools across Canada from 2010 to 2011.

Ms. Thompson holds a Radio and TV Broadcasting Diploma from Seneca College and an AEC / DEP or Skilled Trade Certificate in Life Coach (2020) from Rhodes Wellness College. She is a driving force in the Toronto Arts and Music scene, a motivational speaker, and soulful, powerhouse vocalist known for successfully leading and headlining nationally- and internationally-noted events.

Carolyn @ TEDx Milton talking about Stage Fright

"I love TED Talks so when I was invited to speak at TEDx Milton I nearly passed out from shear joy! ...then reality set in. I was nervous. In fact I remember doubting my abilities and wondering if I would be good enough. That's when I realized I have to do this. I must do this because of what I am feeling right now and what everyone feels. This isn't just for me ...its for all my students who are terrified to sing or speak in front of an audience. So it was decided then. I had to share my personal struggle with becoming a singer and overcoming stage fright. Now I help others conquer their fear and find their true voice through singing and public speaking."
