About Cara...
Cara Sullivan is a New York City singer-songwriter, voice teacher, podcast host, and creative entrepreneur whose work centers on honesty, healing, and human connection.
After years of building a successful career in consulting and operations, Cara chose to leave the traditional corporate path and devote herself more fully to an artistic life. Today, she writes and performs emotionally candid music, helps others develop confidence in their voices, creates space for meaningful conversations, and serves clients through freelance business operations and project execution support.
The Artist Behind The Work
As a singer-songwriter, Cara writes about identity, grief, healing, relationships, self-trust, and the often messy process of becoming more fully yourself. Her music is influenced by artists such as Avril Lavigne, Taylor Swift, Cat Stevens, Carole King, Alanis Morissette, Fiona Apple, Anna Nalick, and Lorde— artists who pair strong storytelling with emotional honesty and make vulnerability feel both intimate and expansive.
Cara’s path into music has not been perfectly linear. For years, she built a career in consulting, operations, and project leadership while carrying a quieter creative life alongside it. Eventually, that creative life became impossible to ignore. Leaving her corporate career marked the beginning of a new chapter centered on artistry, courage, self-expression, and building a life that feels genuinely her own.
Today, Cara writes and releases original music, performs live, shares works in progress, and continues developing a larger body of songs rooted in lived experience. Her work is candid, emotionally driven, and deeply interested in what it means to heal, tell the truth, and keep becoming.
Voice, Conversation, and Connection
Beyond writing and performing, Cara’s work also centers on helping people find and use their own voices. Through supportive voice lessons, she works with singers who want to build confidence, healthy technique, and authentic expression. As the host of The Candid Cara Podcast, she explores creativity, healing, identity, relationships, and the process of building a meaningful life.

Creative Admin Services (CAS)
Before pursuing music full-time, Cara spent years working in consulting, operations, project leadership, and team management. She created Creative Admin Services (CAS) to bring that experience to entrepreneurs, creatives, and small businesses who need thoughtful, reliable support behind the scenes. Her work spans research, organization, outreach, data validation, project execution, and administrative support- adapting to the needs of each client and project.
One Final Note...
At first glance, music, teaching, podcasting, and creative administrative work may seem like separate paths. For Cara, they're different expressions of the same values: creativity, curiosity, care, communication, and meaningful human connection. Rather than choosing one land, she's building a life that makes room for all of them.
