Carl Barât is an English musician, best known as the co-frontman with Pete Doherty of the garage rock band The Libertines, a group that played a central role in the British indie scene of the early 2000s. Born on June 6, 1978, in Basingstoke, Hampshire, Barât achieved fame for his charismatic stage presence and his songwriting partnership with Doherty, which produced UK anthems such as "Can't Stand Me Now" and "Don't Look Back into the Sun." Their tumultuous relationship, mirroring the ups and downs of The Libertines, was well documented in the press and only added to the band's mythology.

After The Libertines' initial breakup in 2004, Barât formed a new band, Dirty Pretty Things, and released two albums before they disbanded in 2008. He has since pursued other musical projects, including a self-titled solo album released in 2010. Reuniting with The Libertines in 2010 and again in 2014, they released their third studio album, "Anthems for Doomed Youth," in 2015. Alongside his musical career, Barât has ventured into acting, writing, and co-owning a club, The Boogaloo, in North London. His more recent work, such as the anthemic "Glory Days" and reflective tracks like "Sister" and its acoustic version, continue to showcase his artistic evolution and endurance in the music industry. 2017's "Harder They Fall," Barât's latest release, presents a musician who remains a bastion of the UK's rock 'n' roll scene, still fervently dedicated to his craft.
