Carey Willetts (born January 1976 in Crewe, Cheshire, England) is an English musician, songwriter and producer.
He has released work under the name "Boxes", and was the bassist[1] in the English indie band Athlete, with whom he has won an Ivor Novello Award for the track "Wires".
[3] Athlete split in 2013, but no confirmation of this was made until 2015, when frontman Joel Pott cited that the band had “ended”.
Indeed, a year later the band released a singles compilation and then went on tour, before being dormant ever since.
Whilst Athlete and Boxes are both on permanent hiatus, Carey has been writing and producing artists including Ed Struijlaart,[4] Amber Run, Passport To Stockholm,[5] Tom Speight, RedFaces, Lilla Vargen, Kingfishr, Dermot Kennedy[6] and Freya Ridings.
