Episode 131. Carol Riddick, an artist who has graced stages across the globe winning fans and admirers alike with her extraordinary voice and presence. Highly regarded in the music community for her vocal dexterity, mesmerizing performances and genuinely warm personality, Carol is a unique entertainer whose evolution is ongoing. She has blessed the tracks of many distinguished artists and is featured on records by Anthony Hamilton, Musiq (Soulchild), Jill Scott, Will Downing, Norman Brown, Jeff Bradshaw, and a host of others. Most recently, she can be heard on Eric Bellinger's 2022 GRAMMY-nominated
album on the track "Shine on the World".

After partnering with Axis Music Group, a former Philadelphia-based production
company, Carol started an independent label, CriddickNotes, and creatively
spearheaded the creation and release of her debut CD, "Moments Like This". She also co-wrote, produced, and sang “Nuances,” the intro to WDAS FM 105.3's "Quiet Storm" program which can be heard weeknights, and most recently tapped into her communications background as she hosted her own radio show titled "Love & Life with Carol Riddick" on WURD Radio, the only African-American owned and operated talk radio station in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (and one of only three remaining in the country).

In addition to her recording efforts, Carol lends her impressive vocals to other artists like Philadelphia's Queen Patti LaBelle, and jazz great Gerald Veasley. Most notably, her live performance with R&B crooner Will Downing of the riveting duet "Nothing Has Ever Felt Like This," is sure to take your breath away.

Carol Riddick is a renaissance woman. She's a songstress, songwriter, multi-media
personality, actress, label owner and mentor. In addition, her beautiful spirit, sensuous stage presence and passionate vocal delivery will soothe your ears and alter your spirit in the most alluring way.
