Candace "Candi" Carpenter is an American singer-songwriter who was born in Toledo, Ohio but raised in Lansing, Michigan.[2][3] Carpenter made their musical debut in 2017 with the single "Burn the Bed", released through Sony Music Nashville. Jonathan Keefe of Country Universe rated the single "A-", praising Carpenter's "smoky" voice and the detail of the lyrics.[4]
In 2024, Carpenter released their alt-pop debut, Demonology, a full-length album produced by Carpenter, Peter Shurkin, and Alden Witt. The music centers around highly personal stories of growing up in the Midwest and leaving Christianity. After years of performing as a country and Americana artist, this release was a sonic and thematic departure.[5]
Carpenter was previously in Church of Roswell with former Dums-Dums singer songwriter Josh Doyle, the project released a 5 track ep titled Here Comes Church of Roswell in 2021.
