## Biography

### Early Life

Carrie was born sometime between 2004-2005, to Trevor Wilson and an unnamed woman.

At some point Carrie became friends with Julie. Julie would spend time at Carrie's house listening to Carrie's father's music. The three of them would spend hours talking music.

Eventually, Carrie and Julie had a falling out, and they are no longer friends.

Once entering high school, Carrie was placed in Los Feliz High School's special music program for musically talented students.

Carrie founded **Dirty Candy.** Her father, Trevor Wilson, is supportive of her musical ambition. According to Flynn, Trevor paid for the group's performance costumes as well as Katy Perry's choreographer, although the accuracy of the latter statement is debatable considering its source.

### Season One

Carrie gives Julie and Flynn some flyers for Dirty Candy performance at the spirit rally. When julie tries to play piano at music class she says

"is this when we clap?“ (Wake Up)

Carrie and Dirty Candy performs *Wow* during the spirit rally. (Bright)

After Julie and the boys perform *Bright*, Carrie appears to be unimpressed and badmouths Julie. (Flying Solo)

Carrie opens the door and sees Julie and Flynn she get them into the house and carrie asks suspiciously how julie learn how to use holograms. (I Got the Music)

Carrie is present at the school dance alongside Nick. She complains about the dance and makes fun of Julie after Julie tells the crowd that she can't "link up" with Luke, Alex, and Reggie. She asks "Who wants to see Dirty Candy?" and is met with a cheer. Although Flynn breaks a knob off the sound board, Carrie is undeterred and invites the crowd to her house. (The Other Side of Hollywood)

Carrie and **Dirty Candy** perform at the café filled with record executives. Flynn assumes that her dad called in a favor to get the music group on the list, although the accuracy of the statement is debatable considering the source. Her performance of "All Eyes on Me" was, unbeknownst to her, accompanied by Alex, who began dancing along to the group's choreography. Carrie knows the record executive (Andi Parker from Destiny Management) at the café by name due to her connection through her father. Carrie lists out who Andi represents (Shawn Mendes, Selena Gomez), then suggests Dirty Candy as her new clientele, Andi, however, was more interested in **Julie and the Phantoms**. (Finally Free)

Carrie invites herself over to Julie's party to Nick's dismay. She remarks that Julie is one of her oldest friends and probably forgot to invite her. It is implied the Nick and Carrie had relationship problems before, based on her comment of "hearing that before" in reply to Nick's insistence they will not get back together. It's then that she reveals that she is suspicious of "the Holograms" of Julie's band, though whether this is genuine suspicion or simply pettiness is unknown. (Edge of Great)

Carrie is watching Julie and the Phantom's trending YouTube video on her laptop. Her dad, Trevor Wilson, enters the mansion, sweating from his run. Trevor greets his daughter warmly and goes toward the stairs, but stops at the music emitting from her laptop. Trevor comments that it "sounds good" and, after closer look, realizes that the girl singing in the video is Julie. Carrie explains that Julie is in a new band with a hologram gimmick, and that somehow they're playing a gig at the Orpheum. Trevor, able to see the other figures in the video and listening to his daughter's explanation, realize that the holograms were his deceased band mates frozen at the age of 17. Shocked, Trevor tries to gather himself as he calls someone unknown and requests two tickets to the Orpheum concert that night. Carrie is confused and offended at this action, though Trevor reassures her, "only love!" (Stand Tall)
