Singer / Songwriter
Carol Ann Decker is an English singer and musician. She is the lead vocalist for the band T'Pau, which had international success in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

In 2003 she appeared in the play Mum's The Word (written by Linda A Carson, Jill Daum, Alison Kelly, Robin Nichol, Barbara Pollard and Deborah Williams) at the Albery Theatre in London.
