All This Time, written by Bianco, was produced by Rob Deaner and the sound can be described as piano-driven production with pop sensibilities showcasing Carla's songwriting and signature voice.

"After creating Ivory Note Records in 2014, I'm so grateful to announce my distribution deal with BFD/Sony RED," says Bianco. "This record has been a long time coming, and I've been literally working towards this since I was four years old. I'm ready to share my music with the world."

A #1 Billboard songwriter and ASCAP award winner, Carla has a very diverse musical career. From a publishing deal with Jellybean Benitez, Madonna's producer; written songs with Narada Michael Walden; to having one of her compositions, "The Lover That You Are" go to #1 on the Billboard Dance charts; to landing the role of Maureen in the Tony award-winning musical "Rent" in the West Coast Premiere and later on Broadway. She's also had the good fortune of singing background vocals on many Disney projects including a song written by Sting from the "Emperor's New Groove. As a recording artist Carla has had several various deals including a single's deal with RCA records, a demo deal with MCA records, and a 6-album deal with Savage Records.

After attending New York University in New York Carla relocated to Los Angles and quickly landing the role in "Rent". Following this she worked on Broadway and Off-Broadway in many cutting-edge shows like "Spring Awakening", where she originated the role of Wendla working alongside Duncan Sheik. Carla also wrote the semi-autobiographical musical "Kaleidoscope", which she's performed in and co-directed. "Kaleidoscope" was part of the ASCAP/Disney musical theater workshop in LA directed by Stephen Schwartz.

When Carla returned to her hometown outside of Pittsburgh, she soon was asked to help found a new school, the Lincoln Park Performing Arts Charter School. She devoted the next years giving back to the community where her own dreams were born by helping others to realize theirs. All along Carla's passion for writing and singing her own music has been very much alive. A digital press kit is available online at www.reverbnation.com/rpk/carlabiano.
