KaiCarra's parents are Mary (Mimi) Carr, flight attendant, and adoptive
father, Tom Carr, Surgical Equipment Advisor. She attended private
schools throughout elementary and junior high. She graduated from
Cypress High School in Southern California. Along with her education,
she was taught French, German, Latin, and Italian in order to sing
opera when she trained at The Phillip Martin School of Music. As an
adult, she speaks French and German, besides her native language,
English.
KaiCarra's family was very musical. Her mother constantly sang -in the
car, at home, in grocery stores, everywhere; when she was little,
KaiCarra thought her mother was the most beautiful singer in the world
and only hoped to be like her. Her mother's favorite way of getting her
eldest daughter out of bed and ready for school was by singing "Good
Morning Merry (Mary) Sunshine". Later, her mother became KaiCarra's
manager who actively promoted her daughter's singing and acting career,
securing national TV appearances.
Her adoptive Dad played the guitar every Saturday morning at the
kitchen table, and the entire family joined in singing. Her Dad
accompanied her on guitar as KaiCarra sang for the first couple of
years in her singing career. KaiCarra's younger sister first learned
the guitar, then the flute, bassoon and finally the cello. Finally, her
grandmother lived just a mile away and headed straight to the piano
after saying hi to the family- she played a large repertoire, all by
ear.
KaiCarra couldn't help but to continue music in her life. She had been
surrounded by it always.
