Carmenstarted out as a performer and as a published song writer. His career led him from piano bars to fronting his own band (at one time or another throughout his career) to sound tech, songwriter, music producer; including celebrity talent booker.

Now, CTO as a whole has more than 8000 to its credit, and we are still counting!
From 2005-2006, Carmen proudly served as the President of the NY Metro chapter for ISES (International Special Events Society.) Recently changed to ILEA to avoid any confusion for obvious reasons. He first became a member of ILEA in 1994 and during that time has held a variety of leadership positions in the ILEA NY Metro chapter including Director, Secretary, Treasurer and President-Elect. In addition to his efforts with ILEA, from 2008-2010 Carmen was on the board of IACEP (International Association of Corporate Entertainment Producers). Carmen was also on the board of the Philly Pops from 2014 thru 2016.

With the resources and knowledge garnered over 20 years in the business, together with his team at CTO Artists, Carmen Tomassetti continues to exceed his clients expectations.
On A side note from Wikipedia:
Carmen is derived from the root canere (meaning "to sing") with the passive nominal ending -men(therefore "a thing sung," cf. flumen from fluere or numen from nuere.
In classical Latin, carmen usually means "song, poem, ode." In magico-religious usage, a carmen(plural carmina) is a chant, hymn, spell, or charm. In essence "a verbal utterance sung for ritualistic purposes", the carmen is characterized by formulaic expression, redundancy, and rhythm.[75] Fragments from two archaic priestly hymns are preserved, the Carmen Arvale of the Arval Brethren and the Carmina Saliaria of the Salii. The Carmen Saeculare of Horace, though self-consciously literary in technique, was also a hymn, performed by a chorus at the Saecular Games of 17 BC and expressing the Apollonian ideology of Augustus.[76]
