Carla Franco

A Cape Town-based, hearing-impaired singer-songwriter originally from Bloemfontein, known for her raw emotional depth and genre-blending sound. She's a two-time award winner for her 2023 album Layers — including an Afri-Award for Best Album by an Artist with a Disability and a SAMA nomination for Best Alternative Album. With a fearless stage presence and a growing list of high-profile performances — from opening for Casey Lowry and Karen Zoid to sharing the stage with icons like Jeremy Loops and Francois van Coke — she's redefining what it means to be an artist without limits.
