“I am grateful for the wonder that appears in every moment, the music that touches my life, and the honor to express it all through song.”

​

In 2007, Karen released the smooth jazz studio album ‘Close Your Eyes,’ arranged by award-winning pianist and composer John Mackay. The release garnered airplay and rave reviews in over 32 countries. Karen’s voice has been described by Music Directors worldwide as variously “beautiful and pure,” with "laid-back phrasing," "impeccable diction" and "innate feelings for melody and rhythm."

Today, she enjoys composing and recording Chill and House music that sends messages of love and life into the world. She continues to write and record, collaborating with music producers and creatives who share her commitment to the beauty of sound and song.

“...listening to Karen, I am transported to a place where the fog blankets the Tuscan hillsides, and I am bathed in the amber sunrise, and a feeling much like being in love.”
