1997年於 London 组成的 The Libertines，是英国车库摇滚流派中的一支新星，以原始的 punk 曲风和积极活力引起广大回响，比起 Strokes、Hives、Vines、Doves 等车库摇滚前辈，可说是毫不逊色。由 Suede 成员 Bernard Butler 制作的歌曲 "What a Waster"，2002年六月一推出，便攻上英国榜 Top 40，并荣膺 NME 选出的年度最佳新团体，单曲 "I Get Along" 更成为 BBC 的每周单曲。

2005年，Carl 组建了自己的乐队 Dirty Pretty Things。乐队的第一个小样 “Bang Bang You're Dead” 以 Flash 动画的形式被放在网络上，风格很像早期的 The Libertines，混合了朋克和雷鬼元素。作为出道单曲，“Bang Bang You're Dead” 一经释出便在 UK Single Chart 上排名第五。首砖发行后乐队即开始为期三个月的英国巡演。他们的首张专辑 “ Waterloo to Anywhere ” 于2006年5月8日发行，并在英国专辑榜上达到第3名。

他于2010年10月4日发行了自己的第一张个人同名专辑。在接受 Metropolis 杂志 CBLiddell 的采访时，他将这张专辑描述为“我做过的第一张专辑，它是一种内省而不是逃避现实。”在同一次采访中，他还谈到这张专辑脱离了以往“巨大的吉他声响”，在风格上比以前的作品更具多样性。
除了音乐之外，Carl 和他的朋友——Moldy Peaches 的 Adam Green 共同出演了纪录片。 除此之外，他还与朱丽叶·刘易斯一起建立了服装品牌 J. Lindeberg 。2008年他参演了电影 Telstar 并饰演摇滚明星 Gene Vincent。这部电影于2008年10月25日在伦敦电影节首映，并于2009年6月19日发行。
关于中国乐迷津津乐道的“拜女神”的典故，来源是几年前一个豆瓣的帖子。乐迷们发现，黑完 Carl 的几日之内，一定会有倒霉的事情发生，所以越来越多的的乐迷开始“拜女神”祈求好运。

而现在，大家终于有了能够近距离膜拜女神的机会。我们有幸把大家的“卡女神”第一次请到了中国。除了女神本神之外，这次巡演的乐手阵容也绝对能带给你惊喜。贝斯 Adam Claxton 和鼓手 Jay Bone 都来自与Carl配合默契的 The Jackals，吉他手 Anthony Rossomando 则是来自 Dirty Pretty Things。最后还是提一句皮胖吧，他过去的一些“事迹”尽人皆知，所以来中国演出几乎不可能，于是卡老师在本次巡演歌单中特意选择了接近一半 The Libertines 的歌儿，可以说诚意满满。这样一个圆梦的现场，我们现场见！

Carl Barât was born in Basingstoke, England on 6 June 1978, and spent most of his childhood in Whitchurch, Hampshire. In a September 2004 interview with Blender Magazine, Barât mentioned having a French, Russian and Polish ethnic background.[4]As a youth, Barât divided his time between his divorced parents. His father, a former artist, worked in an armaments factory, and his mother, Chrissie, was part of the commune-dwelling counterculture and a member of peace groups such as the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. He has one sister, Lucie Barât, who is currently the lead singer of The Au Revoirs.
In 1996, Barât was studying for a drama degree at Brunel University at the Twickenham campus in St. Margarets, Twickenham. during that time he became well-acquainted with Peter Doherty's sister, Amy-Jo and through her, Barât met Doherty. They soon developed an intense friendship based on a shared interest in music and songwriting. After both dropped out of school, they formed The Libertines. The band in its final incarnation included bassist John Hassall and drummer Gary Powell. Barât and Doherty were co-frontmen, sharing songwriting, vocal and guitar duties.
The Libertines are an English rock band, formed in London in 1997 by frontmen Carl Barât (vocals/guitar) and Pete Doherty (vocals/guitar). The band was part of the garage rock revival and spearheaded the movement in the UK. Their first single was a double A-side of "What a Waster" and "I Get Along", produced by former Suede guitarist Bernard Butler. The single reached No. 37 in the UK Singles Chart. They won Best New Band at the NME Awards.
On 15 September 2005, it was announced that Barât was forming a new band named "Dirty Pretty Things".Their first studio recorded demo, "Bang Bang You're Dead", was released on their website in the form of a flash video. Its sound has been likened to that of the early Libertines', mixing punk and reggae influences. This song was released as their debut single on 24 April 2006 and reached number 5 in the UK single chart. This coincided with the latter part of their first tour of the United Kingdom, which spanned from 26 February to 24 May 2006. Their debut album, Waterloo to Anywhere, was released on 8 May 2006, and reached number 3 in the UK album chart. They have since released "Deadwood" and "Wondering".
He released his self-titled, first solo album on 4 October 2010. In an interview with C.B.Liddell of Metropolis magazine he described the album as "the first album I've done that is kind of introspective rather than escapist." In the same interview, he also talked about "stepping away from big loud guitars" as the album is stylistically more diverse and less rock-oriented than previous work.
Besides his contribution on music, Barât and his friend, Adam Green of The Moldy Peaches appeared in a documentary following the pair on a night out in London. He also modelled for clothing brand J. Lindeberg, along with Juliette Lewis.In 2008, he featured as actor in the film Telstar in the role of Rock'n'Roll singer Gene Vincent. The film premiered at the London Film Festival on 25 October 2008 and was released on 19 June 2009.
