Ask this jazzy gospel recording artist how long she's been singing, and she replies, "From the womb!" A New Orleans native and the mother of two, she has participated in gospel choirs, worked in a Christian bookstore, and taken seminary training. But it was not until 2001 that the door finally opened wide for her to fully use God's gift of song. She started by performing in local Christian coffeehouses. Karen's musical influences come from three great artists; Olita Adams,
Ella Fitzgerald and Nancy Wilson. Today, after releasing three CDs of jazzy gospel, her live appearances are at weddings, coffeehouses, restaurants, churches, festivals, and many other venues as well. She also has a very good sense of humor. She delivers a unique, fun combination of music and entertainment that's enjoyable for the whole family. Stay tuned for Karen's fourth CD, titled "Thinking Out Loud".
