NASHVILLE, TN. (Top40 Charts/ PLA Media) - Carla Williams, the country songstress merging Patsy Cline's sound with Miranda Lambert's energy, secures her first industry award as 'New Music Awards Country Female Artist.' 'Carla worked really hard and this is a well deserving award,' says Lofton Creek Records President Mike Borchetta.

'I was so excited to be nominated alongside such powerful female voices, but to win is just phenomenal, 'says Carla. 'This is truly a dream come true.'

Carla is working a new release following her debut single on Lofton Creek with 'If I Smoked.' 'Williams brings a sound to the table that is full of raw and powerful honesty,' says Bev Moser of Digital Rodeo. This breakthrough Bayou performer garnered her first audiences on the model circuit.
