CARRTUNE
Paul Carr · Springhill, Nova Scotia
Carrtune is Paul Carr, a 53-year-old lyricist and 30-year paramedic from Springhill, Nova Scotia — the hometown of Anne Murray. Born and raised in Fredericton, New Brunswick, he moved to Springhill for work in 1996 and writes story-first songs between shifts. He doesn’t sing: he writes the lyrics and develops the music, then brings in vocalists from around the world to bring each song to life — collaborators from Argentina, the UK, Ireland, Italy, Australia, Los Angeles, Nashville, and his hometown of Springhill. Carrtune Creative became an official business in August 2026; it’s what he’s building toward for retirement.
Out November 20, 2026 — “Sammie”
“Sammie” is an uplifting EDM duet by Argentine couple Seba Dentis & Agus Bouquet, about a girl named Samantha. It is the first of 15 monthly singles from Carrtune Creative, running November 2026 through January 2028.
