Bio
Chris Carmen is a singer-songwriter and producer from Philadelphia. He writes dark indie folk with an emo undercurrent: resonator guitar, raw vocals, lo-fi production. He makes everything himself, writing, producing, mixing, and mastering his own songs. He came up producing and engineering alongside DEADPAN, including WITCHES BREW and EDGE OF THE W*RLD in 2022. Since 2024 he has released the Mystic EP and a run of singles. In early 2026, underground rap pioneer BONES pulled him onto SongsToSleepTo for CrampYourStyle. His debut album Death of a Heart followed that April.
