Early life
[edit]
From a family of Russian Jewish immigrants,[4] Carmen was born on August 11, 1949, in Cleveland, Ohio, United States,[5][6] and grew up in Lyndhurst, Ohio. He was involved with music since early childhood. By the age of two, he was entertaining his parents with impressions of Jimmy Durante and Johnnie Ray. By age three, he was in the Dalcroze Eurhythmics program at the Cleveland Institute of Music.[7] At six years old, he took violin lessons from his aunt Muriel Carmen, who was a violinist in the Cleveland Orchestra.[7] By age 11, he was playing piano and dreaming about writing his own songs. The arrival of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones altered his dream slightly. By the time he was a sophomore at Charles F. Brush High School, Carmen was playing piano and singing in rock bands including the Sounds of Silence.[7]
