George Carlo M. was born in Surinam, October 1959.
In 1983 George moved from Surinam (South America) to Holland and enrolled at the Hilversum Conservatory of Music.
He followed classes in singing, piano and saxophone- playing, thereby being mould into an
all-round musician, with a broad musical pallet. The many different musical cultures and styles he encountered in his younger years evidently influenced his concepts of music, something that is clearly audible! Music has been a passion for George Carlo M. form a very early age.
He started with Pop Music (Latin American style) Spanish, Brazilian but also Surinam music. After a couple of years he created his own style in Pop Jazz & Fusion with South American influences.
In the past few years he has worked on several projects and played in different countries;
The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France and Switzerland. Beside these projects he preformed with some of the cats like; Toots Thielemans, Georgie Fame, Billy Hart, Mark Levine and Jeffrey Gardner. But also he preformed with the Metropole Orchestra and the Pall Mall Big Band. George Carlo M. is now performing with his own sextet
His widely varied repertoire and very professional presentation characterize his performances. In his repertoire you will find the classics of cats like Nat King Cole, Jimmy Helms, George Benson, Al Jarreau and others but also his own work. What makes this artist so special is that, besides this excellent music he makes (singing, playing keyboard and playing saxophone), he writes his own songs and music.
Tokyo (lyrics by S.Scragg & George Carlo M.)and Never make the Same Mistake (lyrics by S. Scragg) are his own songs, that were brought out on his album “My way of Music”. At his new album “Smooth Road” you will find songs written by George Carlo M.; Our-River’ and Arki. George Carlo M. was inspired by the original song “Airegin” of Miles Davis and wrote his own version in Surinam named Arki.
In 1999 he successfully launched his first album "My Way Of Music", on which he plays saxophone and sings with his own sextet. In february 2005 his album ''Smooth Road '' was released succesfully by Munich Records. Reporter Humberto Tan recently commented on this album: ”George Carlo M is by far the best jazz singer in the Netherlands”
In 2007 STS-Digital released the album ‘’ A Music Dream’’.
The past few years George was coaching a lot of talented students which gave him the opportunity after a concert in the Concertgebouw to be selected to perform in Carnegie hall/New York. (November 2011)
