Carla Ragin Bozulich (born December 24, 1965) is an American musician based in Los Angeles, known for her work as the lead singer, lyricist and founder of both The Geraldine Fibbers and Evangelista and as a founding member of Ethyl Meatplow and Scarnella. Her 2006 album, Evangelista, was released by Constellation Records, that label's first release by a non-Canadian artist. In 2007, she also named her ever-evolving touring group Evangelista eventually recruiting bassist Tara Barnes and keyboardist/sampler Dominic Cramp as permanent band members. However, the rest of the lineup of Evangelista as a recording, performing and touring band changes each time they play or record. In keeping with this change, the albums Hello, Voyager, Prince of Truth and In Animal Tongue were released under the band name Evangelista. In 2014, Constellation released Boy, with Carla Bozulich credited as solo artist. This album consists of more conventionally structured songs than those appearing on the Evangelista albums. Bozulich has also been involved in other projects, including collaborations with Francesco Guerri and Sarah Lipstate. In addition to singing and composing music, she is known to play guitar and work with samples and sound experimentation. She was born in New York City.
Bozulich's recording career began in 1982 when, under the name Carla Noelle, she contributed to a recording by Gary Kail called "Zurich 1916", which would be released in 1984 as part of the album Creative Nihilism. She has since played with numerous bands including the Neon Veins, Invisible Chains, Ethyl Meatplow, the Geraldine Fibbers, Scarnella (a duo with Nels Cline, the name being an anagram of their combined first names), The Nels Cline Singers, Scott Amendola Band, The Book of Knots, the as-yet-unrecorded band The Night Porter, as a solo artist, as a member of a duo with Ches Smith, and as leader of the Evangelista project. Bozulich produced the Evangelista album In Animal Tongue. She has also produced the 2013 self-titled album by the band Blue Willa. In March 2014, she released a solo album Boy, with Evangelista member John Eichenseer and percussionist Andrea Belfi as her main collaborators. This album was also produced by Bozulich.
