Carol Riddick was born and bred in Philadelphia and got her
start in the music business touring as a vocalist with Jazzy Jeff and The
Fresh Prince (Will Smith). She has featured on recordings by Anthony
Hamilton, Jill Scott, Will Downing, Norman Brown, Kindred The Family Soul,
Jeff Bradshaw, Musiq Soulchild, and a host of others and can be heard on
Eric Bellinger's 2022 GRAMMY nominated album on the track "Shine On The
World". She is not only a songstress but a songwriter, radio show host,
actress, label-owner, mentor and podcaster.
Carol started an independent label CRIDDICKNOTES on which she released
her debut album "Moments Like This" in 2006 for which she co-produced and co-wrote the majority of the songs
and collaborated with GRAMMY Award winning producers and songwriters
including James Poyser (Erykah Badu, The Roots), Anthony Bell (Jill Scott,
Jewel), and Carvin Haggins & Ivan Barias (Musiq, Faith Evans). Since
then Carol has released her sophomore album "Love Phases" in Jan 2015
In addition to her solo efforts, Carol lends her vocals to other artists
such as fellow Philadelphians Patti LaBelle and jazz bassist Gerald
Veasley. You may also be aware of her live performances with Will Downing
on the duet "Nothing Has Ever Felt Like This" (a recent performance
included below).
Carol last featured here in June '22 with a single, "I Don't Care", with Eric Seats presents Project Sidiooo 3 and has a new single "Steppin' out" released on 9 Dec '22 which, for those old enough to remember, is a cover of Joe Jackson's 1983s pop hit, but Carol puts her own soulful and jazzy spin on it.
