About the Artist
Carly Keyes is a Los Angeles-based acoustic indie-pop singer-songwriter known for intimate, emotionally driven performances. Her stripped-back style and haunting vocal delivery draw listeners into deeply personal stories of love, loss, and longing.
Originally trained in filmmaking, Carly brings a cinematic sensitivity to her music—creating moments that feel both raw and quietly powerful. Whether reinterpreting familiar songs or sharing original work, her performances invite audiences into a space of reflection, connection, and feeling.
About See This Through…
See This Through... is a collection of songs written through longing, heartbreak, memory, hope, and the quiet attempt to keep moving forward after emotional loss.
Recorded in intimate stripped-back arrangements centered around voice and acoustic guitar, my album lives somewhere between late-night confession, journal entry, and living room performance — embracing imperfection, atmosphere, and emotional honesty over polish.
I wrote these songs across different chapters of my life, but together they became a reflection on connection: what lingers after it changes, what echoes long after someone is gone, and what parts of ourselves thrive in the aftermath.

Film Projects
I’m proud to serve as screenwriter, producer and composer on Pacific Pilgrimage. Based on the novel “Sparrow Migrations” by Cari Noga, this short film follows an autistic boy’s fight to protect his beloved bird.
My script has been recognized by the Blue Cat Screenplay Competition (Semifinalist), the PAGE Awards (Quarterfinalist), the Golden State Film Festival and the LA Independent Women Film Awards. My original music concept was granted support from The Puffin Foundation.
Currently, I’m writing the score as we complete post-production with an aim of submitting to festivals over the course of 2026 and 2027.
It was a joy to portray an aspiring musician and write the original music for “Good Vibrations,” an entry in the Easterseals Disability Film Challenge. It follows a singer-songwriter and an ASL poet who team up to help each other get back onstage after rough nights at an Open Mic.
