Carl Cartee

Carl and Heather Cartee are a husband and wife duo who have been making music together since the first time they met. A college choir was the setting where they became fast friends before falling in love and getting married. A lifelong musician, Carl had already been playing concerts and recording music when they were married but a busy travel schedule kept them apart in their first year of marriage. Their family motto, “together is better”, led them to do whatever it took to stay close and share life together. Heather quit her job, joined Carl and became the perfect addition to the music. They’ve been at it for over 17 years. Their ministry of leading worship, writing songs and mentoring musicians has taken them all over the world together and their family has grown to include a mighty tribe of four boys, Oak, Ezra, Abe and Ike.

Experience

A life that started playing music and leading worship in the local church fostered a deep affection the Church and for writing songs for the Church to sing. No matter where the road leads, it’s never far away from a place to serve and give in the body of Christ. Carl has written and recorded thirteen albums over the last 18 years and performed with artists Third Day, Mercy Me, Steven Curtis Chapman but is most grateful to lead and serve on the staff of Fellowship Bible Church in Nashville, TN as Director of Worship Development and to found the Inspire Worship Conference, an annual event that trains and equips church worship leaders.

Carl ministers with his wife Heather, who has spent many years on the road leading worship and developing her engaging and joyful style as a worship leader. Her presence on stage always evokes emotion and passion and her countenance gives off a glow of genuine joy. She’s known as much for her passion to disciple young women as much as anything and making time to nurture and invest in others is one of her greatest loves.
