Carly Stock is a Los Angeles-born jazz saxophonist and woodwind artist known for her big tone and even bigger personality. Since she first started the saxophone, Carly fell in love with masters like Kenny Garrett and Antonio Hart, and as she honed her craft, began implementing their creativity, huge sounds, and grit into her own unique style. But, it wasn’t until she saw UNT’s famed One O’Clock Lab Band that she knew she wanted to pursue music full-time; she couldn’t believe her ears! In the most cliche turn of events imaginable, Carly went on to earn her BM in Jazz Studies and minor in Commercial Music from the University of North Texas, where she played in the Grammy nominated One O’Clock Lab Band for almost two years.

Carly has taught privately for the last four years, and she has directed high school ensembles and jazz ensembles at Stanford Jazz Workshop. Carly loves to pass on her knowledge and passion for music to the next generation of woodwind players.
