Thea Taylor (b. November 23, 2002), better known by her stage name carolesdaughter, is an up-and-coming singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist from southern California. She started making music in February of 2020 with her first song “wish i wuz dead.”

Bouncing between five different high schools, she started doing drugs, falling down a rabbit hole and taking multiple trips to rehab. On the last trip, she made a promise to pursue music upon returning home. She didn’t start to gain much traction however until her breakout song “Violent” went viral on TikTok. It originally released on April 19, 2020, but wouldn’t be released onto all platforms until November 23, 2020 through the help of Arista Records and Sony Music Entertainment.
