Meet Carl England

Carl England, a native of Los Angeles who grew up in Portland, began playing piano at age eight but it wasn’t until he was 15 that the instrument grabbed his imagination. “One day, after a very long hiatus, I completely rediscovered the beauty of the piano,” he recalls. “It filled a very big space in my soul. I knew I had found something special.”

In high school, England was called the “Music Man” by his classmates and quickly garnered a reputation for his ability to play whatever he heard. To further explore his talents, he studied at the Mount Hood College-School of Music, located in what he calls “the jazz capital of the Northwest.” It was here that he began his career as a local and regional performer and concert pianist.

Carl England is now settled back in Portland and ready to make his name as a distinctive contemporary composer and pianist. Armed with a blistering five piece live group and possessing abundant talent, enthusiasm and confidence, it seems clear that his goals will be realized.
