Caro was seventeen years old when she finished school and decided to go to Hamburg to further her musical career. Her father, a Dutch Jazz musician had a big influence on his daughter, because he rehearsed at home when she was a child. Caro started her career in a small club called Onkel Pö´s Carnegie Hall, and in the seventies this place was unique in Europe. Her eyes start shining, when she describes how it felt to experience artists like Freddy King, Willi de Ville, Al Jarreau...

It was a time when record companies were visiting places like that, searching for artists. In 1978 Caro won the German award of best national artist with her first album.

In the nineties things started to quieten down. CARO got married and became mother of two spirited children called Saskia and Leon.

It was 1999 when Caro and her Australian friend Lisa Lagoda had the idea of forming the live-band CAROLISA. (supporting Robert Cray at Jazz-Port Hamburg was one of the highlights). They worked together until Lisa decided to move back to Perth.

Meeting MARTIN SCHEFFLER was the best that could ever happen to CARO musically. He is renowned for his tasteful, reduced and emotional guitar playing, He liked her songs. SCHEFFLER knows exactly what CARO needs. He was able to win over ARND GEISE, an excellent Jazz-Bassist from Hamburg, to the idea of producing CARO. ARND GEISE has played with Randy Brecker, Barry Sinnerty and Teddy Richards and is renowned for his virtuosic playing. Both make sure that theres always enough room for CARO.

One night at a party, CARO played her unfinished songs to the one and only JEAN JACQUES KRAVETZ, one of her heroes, who has played with Jumping Jack Dupree, Chris Thompson, John Mayall and the wonderful R&B singer Inga Rumpf. The man from Paris liked what he heard and he became CARO´s Pianist. When he brought his two talented sons into the band, everything was perfect.
