In April 2022 Caroline received one of Sound and Music’s Covid-19 Composer Awards:
“I feel excited to have received this composer award, it feels amazing to have been given recognition and opportunity after much dedicated work on my music. Over the last few years, I went through a lot of trauma and had to come to terms with hidden disabilities and realised I’m neurodivergent – a different thinker! Getting a footing in my career after these changes has felt impossible at times. Recently the breaks have started arriving – this grant will help me with needed studio time and collaborative guitar work and enable me to bring the many compositions I have created to life and be able to share them with others. I’ve begun performing again and strong career foundations are being rebuilt better and I have so many concepts and compositions to share.”
