At the age of five she already knew she wanted to play the cello and conquer the world with her red cello case on her back. Carly E started off playing classical music in orchestras, but ultimately didn’t see a future in it. So she set out to travel around the world and find out what she really wanted. Away from home she found her calling. In It’s That Simple she tells entertaining stories in-between songs about her adventures in London and Buenos Aires. Her playful music is an eclectic mix of jazz and pop.

Popartiest Carly E (29) vindt dat je in de popmuziek net zoveel kunt met een cello als met een gitaar. Ze zingt folk-popliedjes en begeleidt zichzelf met haar strijkinstrument. Haar grootste inspiratiebron is de Franse chansonnière Zaz. „Ik wil laten zien dat je een cello voor meer kunt gebruiken dan alleen klassiek”, zegt Carly E, echte naam Carlijn van Wijk. Met dat doel in haar achterhoofd treedt ze op in binnen- en buitenland. „Deze zomer sta ik op een theaterfestival in Edinburgh. Mijn droom is Glastonbury.” Ze heeft een begeleidingsband, maar speelt ook solo. Als ze alleen op het podium staat, gebruikt ze een loop pedal, waarmee ze live meerdere melodielijnen tegelijk kan spelen.
