Carlos Alberto Ibay is a classically trained Filipino-American concert pianist and heroic tenor from Fairfax, Virginia who has been blind since infancy. He began playing piano when he was two years old and began singing at the age of three. A child prodigy, Ibay made his first public performance at age ten. Fluent in seven languages, he is a versatile performer who has performed in over a dozen countries.

Ibay studied piano under Thomas Schumacher from the Eastman School of Music and studied voice with Harry Dunstan from the American Center for Puccini Studies.
