Carla Harvey (born October 4, 1976)[citation needed] is an American musician, best known as co-vocalist of the metal band Butcher Babies. She landed her first job in Hollywood as an Entertainment Reporter for the Playboy Channel, and appeared on many popular network TV shows like Rules of Engagement.[1] Harvey took a break from the entertainment world to earn a degree in Mortuary Science from California's Cypress College, and worked as an embalmer and funeral director before forming the Butcher Babies and pursuing her lifelong dream of being a touring musician.
Harvey is passionate about writing. She was named a "comic book mastermind" by Hustler.[1] Her first published comic book Butcher Babies was released with great success at San Diego Comic-Con 2011.[1] Her first full-length novel, Death and Other Dances, was released in 2014, and a new comic series entitled Soul Sucka was released in 2015.
Harvey is of Irish-Ethiopian descent through her father and of Finnish-Italian descent through her mother.[2] She had a sister named Julia, who was born with microcephaly and died from it at a young age.[3] Harvey attended Glenn Levey Middle School in Southfield, Michigan. As a teenager, she attended Mercy High School (all-girl private Catholic) and Harrison High School, both in Farmington Hills, Michigan.[4] Carla also has a degree in mortuary science from California's Cypress College, and is a licensed funeral director and embalmer. In an interview, she said that "She hopes to one day open her own funeral home, but for now, she's enjoying life on the road with the Butcher Babies."[1] She also worked as a nude model and had appeared in several softcore adult features, sometimes using the alias Bridget Banks. Among these are At Your Service (2006), Decadent Dreams (2005), and Bedtime Secrets (2008).[5][6]
Harvey and her fellow Butcher Babies vocalist, Heidi Shepherd, have been subject to some negative criticism. In an interview with Blabbermouth.net, Harvey said: "There's always gonna be haters. We actually don't really play into the negativity, or read into the negativity. I think people are afraid of sexuality, especially Americans."[7] Harvey supports greater female representation in the metal music scene.
As of 2019, Harvey started dating Charlie Benante, the drummer of American thrash metal band Anthrax,[8] and as of January 24th, 2024 they are engaged.
Musical influencesedit
Harvey has cited her influences as Pantera, Slayer, Metallica, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Slipknot, and the Plasmatics. However, in an interview, she has stated that her main musical heroes are Slash and Jimi Hendrix. She said: "As a biracial kid growing up in the Detroit area, I got a lot of shit for loving hard rock and metal, and seeing musicians that were also African American playing the music I loved made me strong enough to say, 'Fuck you, I'm going to like what I want.'"[9] She is also heavily influenced by horror movies such as The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, House of 1000 Corpses, and The Devil's Rejects.[10]
