He began his music career in 2016 at just 14 years old with his debut single "Chance" recieving airtime on his local pop radio station. In his teens he learned pop and r&b songwriting/production with Capitol Records A&R Roy Hamilton III and scoring for film and video games with LucasArts sound designer G.W Childs.

Carson was previously represented by MK's Music Management (2020), Horizon Music Group (2021-22) and Remedy Music Label (2023-24) but now operates independantly with his company Lighthouse Productions, who host 150+ events annually across Western Canada.
