She is the co-lead vocalist, bassist, and occasional keyboardist of the band Shiny Toy Guns (2004 – 2008, 2010 – present), with whom she received a Grammy nomination.

[7] The record contains the songs “Watch Me,” “Gold Plated,” “We Go Back,” “Change in the Water,” and “Fine.” In 2004, Carah joined the indie/rock/electronica band Shiny Toy Guns.

Carah remained the female vocalist of Shiny Toy Guns until she was released due to conflict scheduling in the band's follow-up album to "We Are Pilots".

As of early 2015, Carah is writing and recording a solo album, but assures fans that Shiny Toy Guns is still intact[citation needed].

She began vocal training with one of the original Chordettes members and joined a professional show choir called Fresh Chances for America (with performances at events and venues like the Reagan Library and Amway Diamond Convention).

Carah's earliest muse was her grandfather, Arnold Moselle, a World War II fighting captain who sang in a "big band-ish" group called The Nightingales.

He used to sing lullabies to her including Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole songs, and he encouraged her to pursue a musical career.
