Carly Binding (born 2 February 1978, in Tauranga, New Zealand) is a New Zealand Pop singer, who was a former member of TrueBliss. In 2000 she left the band citing personal differences, and decided to go solo. Her debut solo album "Passenger" peaked at #6 on the New Zealand album charts and went gold. It was also released in Australia, where Binding toured extensively.

Her second album "So Radiate" was released on 3 July 2006. Supporting this album, she has undertaken an acoustic duo tour of New Zealand with fellow NZ singer-songwriter Donald Reid.

In 2007 Binding was invited to play at the world renound music festival SXSW which is held in Austin Texas each year. This led to her spending a further 4 months in the US playing regular shows at legendary venues on the sunset strip and surrounding areas in Los Angeles.

Carly's father, Wellesley Binding, is a notable New Zealand painter.

Binding is currently in a relationship and living with Kiwi league player Matthew Ridge. [ [http://www.nzrealitytv.com/2008/01/matthew-ridge-carly-bindings-friendship.html Matthew Ridge & Carly Binding's Friendship] ]
