CARLOS ARIAS

Carlos Arias has been musically inclined since he was a wee toddler. Using (and ruining) mom's pots and pans as drums was his favourite pastime. Many years later, after studying jazz at Cap U (Vancouver, BC) and audio engineering at Vancouver film School, Carlos is a sought after producer/arranger in the Vancouver area with specialty in vocal and Latin production. He has worked with many well-respected musicians and singers in both Gospel and non-Gospel genres and has been involved in many bands and ensembles, from A Cappella jazz to Latin Orchestras. His Gospel group Koinonia Worship has had mass distribution in Latin America and has received accolades. He has recently toured as bass player with Proyecto A, ex-members of the Venezuelan salsa group Los Adolecentes. He is actively involved working as a singer, songwriter, and producer, working with various artists and churches while slowly developing his own material.

The single “Get with you” quickly fell into heavy rotation on the urban station in Vancouver (The Beat 94.5) even claiming the No. 2 spot on the “Blazin Seven @ 7” show for the most requested songs of the day.
