There have been at least two artists who have used the artist name Carola. 1. Carola Maria Häggkvist (born in Stockholm on 8 September 1966) is a Swedish singer and for a while a member of the Word of Life congregation. She appeared on television for the first time after winning a talent show in 1977. A couple of years later promoter Bert Karlsson discovered her and she was offered the chance to take part in Melodifestivalen 1982, the national preselection for the Eurovision Song Contest, but she turned it down.
