Carli & The Dark

Carli & The Dark is the project of Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Carli Naff. After graduating from theatre school in Arizona, Carli moved to New York to work as an actor. She wrote her first few song while living in Queens and would practice by busking in the subway tunnels. She started building a fan base by playing living room shows in NYC and on the West Coast, and eventually teamed up with producer Jake Cheriff (Modern Diet) and released her first single Mimi on his label, Paper Moon Records. Her dark, dreamy sound and expressive voice have since been compared to artists like Mitski, Lianne LaHavas, and Haley Heynderickx.
