Songwriter/musician/producer that seeks raw emotion and expression in songs. Hi! I'm Carla Pensalfine — a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and music producer based in Los Angeles. I studied Music Composition at the Los Angeles College of Music, and for the past 4 years, I’ve been crafting sounds that live somewhere between alternative rock, indie, singer-songwriter, and pop/rock. Raw emotion and honest expression are at the core of everything I do — whether it’s writing lyrics, shaping melodies, arranging a song, or producing it from my home studio or at The Hobby Shop Studios, where I’ve been lucky to work under producer/engineer Javier Cruces. I’m here to help bring your music to life, or jump in on a project that needs a bit of soul, grit, or sparkle. Let’s make something that feels real. --- Studio Assistant for Javier Cruces at The Hobby Shop Studios Guitar player Lavalove, Gonzalo Martin, Beau Sloane Songwriter/Music Producer BICHA Music Teacher Glendora Music and Arts School…Songwriter/musician/producer that seeks raw emotion and expression in songs.
