About Cara Paige
Cara Paige is a 25-year-old pop/rock singer-songwriter from Atlanta, Georgia, whose music feels like a conversation with your closest friend, raw, reflective, and rooted in real life. Entirely self-taught, Cara picked up a guitar at 14 and wrote her first song, “Red Flags,” the same year. What began as a personal outlet quickly became her purpose: telling stories that connect, comfort, and resonate.
Her debut album, 23, marked a major milestone in 2024. The lead single debuted at #13 on the iTunes Pop Charts and #58 on the iTunes All-Genre Charts, signaling Cara’s arrival as a fresh voice in the indie pop/rock scene. The album blends themes of growing up, nostalgia, and emotional resilience, and it earned her finalist nominations at the ISSA Awards for Female Rising Star, Female Album of the Year, and Musician of the Year.
Cara’s talent as a songwriter has earned her national recognition. Her holiday single “Joy In The Season” won Best Pop Christmas Song at the 3rd Annual Holiday Music & Film Awards, and was nominated for Songwriter Achievement and Holiday Song of the Year at the Josie Music Awards. In 2025, she received four additional Songwriter Achievement nominations at the 11th Annual Josies for her work on “Here’s to the Man in Red,” “We All Bleed Crimson Red,” “Paint Me in Your Colors,” and “Rock This Holiday,” co-written with industry peers Justine Blazer, Corey Lee Barker, and Steve O’Brien. She is also a nominee for Vocalist of the Year (Pop/Rock).
Her latest single, “Shake That Sugar,” co-written with Justine Blazer, blends country-pop charm with high-energy flair and now features an official music video and original line dance. Behind the scenes, Cara continues to grow her artistry as a member of the Recording Academy’s GrammyU Atlanta Chapter, and she holds a Music Business Certificate from the University of Georgia’s Music Business Program.
Live, Cara brings warmth and honesty to every performance. She’s taken the stage at Atlanta venues like Park Bench Battery for her album release show and Eddie’s Attic for the famed open mic night. Offstage, she works in the music industry as part of the FITRADIO marketing team, where she helps connect listeners to music that motivates.
Currently, Cara is working on two new projects: her first holiday EP, due out November 2025, and her sophomore album, slated for 2026, featuring collaborations with Justine Blazer, Corey Lee Barker, Nona Brown, Steve O’Brien, and Danica Hart.
For Cara, music is more than a career, it’s a way of making sense of the world and sharing that clarity with others. And if you’ve ever found yourself in her lyrics, you know: she’s telling your story, too.
