 Bio:

Almost entirely self taught, Alfred Carns started his musical career at age seven when his family taught him to play musical pitch training games. With his finely tuned ear, Alfred began playing several instruments, including the guitar at age 15, and piano at age 17. "I knew I wanted a career in music from the time I was in elementary school", he says, "so I'm not at all suprised that I'm more heavily involved in the industry than I ever was. This CD is my first, but I have so many melodies running through my head, I know there will be others".

Alfred's musical journey thus far has been a diverse one, ranging from classical music to country, and from heavy rock guitar to the most peaceful ballads. Currently Carns works in a specialized department of a music store during the day and composes by night. His main interests include; music theory, 20th century classical composition, and the study of jazz guitar. He is also writing new material for a future CD.
