Absent Without Love (AWOL) is a unique act who’s lyricism and musical delivery is as expressive as it is engaging; inspiring others to find their own way, even when the path of least resistance appears more desirable. However, AWOL’s persona is all but an act; as she is a U.S. Army veteran who built a promising future in the cybersecurity field, later turning down contracts from organizations such as NASA to pursue a full time musical career, despite what those around her thought of her decision. 
Growing up in upstate New York and currently based in Los Angeles, vocalist, producer and songwriter Jacqueline Carraway discovered an innate passion for music as a young girl, later cultivating her creative journey on her own terms. Surrounded by a musical family, many members of which were in the ministry, AWOL found solace in exploring her multifaceted talents, ranging from singing backup for legacy acts such as Barry Manilow and Foreigner as part of her church's choir to learning how to write and produce original material. After joining the U.S. Army in 2008, Carraway began recording music under the moniker AWOL (“Absent Without Love”), a play on the military term for when a soldier doesn’t report for duty. With her sound weaving between hip-hop, R&B, soul and rock -taking risks to consistently leveling up in every aspect of the word, Jacqueline “AWOL” Carraway can be found working on new music and reminding fans through her pseudonym of the lessons taught in 1 Corinthians 13:1: "Without love, [we] are nothing."
