Award-winning singer-songwriter Eileen Carey was named 2017 Crossover Artist of the Year by New Music Weekly. Breaking down the barriers between country and pop, Carey is currently promoting her flirtatious feel-good new single “Good Bad Girl.” She’s a recipient of the Producer’s Choice Award for 2016 Female Country Artist of the Year at the Los Angeles Music Awards, as well as an award from industry-driven Independent Music Network awards.
Showcased artist Eileen Carey has been making a name for herself on the country charts. She was gracious enough to sit down and have a chat with me about her music and what inspires her as an artist.
Country. Pop. Rock. Eileen Carey’s music blends all three styles together in a way that feels uniquely hers. I’ve just been trying to think if there’s any other artists out there like her right now and I can’t think of any. Eileen grew up in Ohio and relocated to California over 20 years ago. An independent artist, she has made quite a name for herself in California.

Sisterly Sage: In New “Faith” Video, Country Pop Star Eileen Carey Encourages Women to have Faith in themselves and move-on from a bad relationship.
(Los Angeles, CA) – November 16, 2015
The MuseBox today announced that rising California country star Eileen Carey has released the music video for “Faith,”her new and already charting inspirational single that encourages women to find independence and strength in themselves. Carey’s last two music videos, “Bottle Your Crazy Up” and the feel-good summer release “Party at the Beach,” have accumulated more than 75,000 Youtube views. “Faith” jumped into the Top 20 on the NMW country radio charts, Top 10 Indie, and the NMW Adult Contemporary and Hot AC charts. “Faith” also made an appearance on Music Row’s Country Breakout chart and entered the international Wildhorse Entertainment Superstars of Country out of South Africa at #33.
Earlier this year, Carey’s “Bottle Your Crazy Up” reached #1 nationally, where it competed with major-label country performers. Carey’s three released singles are from Let It Go, her most successful album to date. Carey won The Academia Music Awards Best Country/Rock Song of the Year for “Bottle Your Crazy Up.” Akadamia.com called Carey’s composition and performance “a clever country jam with dulcet vocals and superb instrumentation, illustrating one of the most stringent performance standards we’ve encountered.”
According to Carey, “Faith” is an encouragement to women to trust in themselves, rather than in the men who are not necessarily good for them:
“I like to give people a positive outlook on life. So many people accept their fate, but I insist that there is no need to – especially if you have faith in yourself. “Faith” is a sisterly boost to every woman who’s working overtime to try to get the wrong man’s attention.”
The music video for “Faith” was filmed at Carey’s producer Travis Allen Childress’ recording studio in Montrose, California. It was directed and produced by Taner Tumkaya, the same director who worked on Carey’s “Party at the Beach” lyric video.
Carey has also started posting in her new blog, www.TheMusicMom.com. The mission of The Music Mom is consistent with Carey’s “Faith” video in that it reveals Carey’s desire to give of her experience and wisdom.
