Fixing the World with Carmen Toth

Carmen Toth is a Toronto singer-songwriter with a power pop sound reminiscent of the 80s and 90s. Whether on acoustic guitar playing solo or on electric with a full band, her unique, childlike voice, relatable lyrics and catchy hooks have drawn comparisons to Stevie Nicks, Cyndi Lauper and Kate Bush. Active in the independent music scene since 2003, she has three EPs to her credit and her first full-length album, Fix the World is currently available exclusively on Bandcamp. Fix the World is slated for release on all streaming platforms in early 2024.
