Kristen Karma is taking control of her own destiny with a Gold Award in one hand (personally given to her by HRH Prince Edward in 2009) and a black corset in the other. She effortlessly walks the line between an organized and responsibly rehearsed persona who has spent years studying the theory behind her music, and her alter ego who cannot refrain from gallivanting all over the stage during her pop/electronic performances. Karma not only wields a certificate in Audio Engineering from Hot Sole Music, but has studied voice with Judith Rabinovitch, who has worked with the likes of Avril Lavigne and Sarah McLachlan.
Here’s a fun fact you might not know.
In 2013, Kristen Karma was selected as one of two performers to play the Lady Gaga Born This Way Ball After-party and open for Tour DJ/Lady Gaga BFF Lady Starlight in Vancouver. With rave reviews from her performance, she then went on to work with lil’Jon on her single Sirens.
You can read that in two ways. Intimidation or talent. Worthy or ‘sounds like she’ll do just fine on her own’. And then again, with an industry clammering to find the next person to hold the torch for “Overnight Success” this funky candidate definitely got her name on the list.
I guess the rest reads up to you.
So lets press play on this sound.
A Katie Perry Kaleidoscopic Next Fling. Someone who could easily share a festival stage with Madonna, Gaga, Sia, Perry and maybe even Aguirella. She’s got that blend of punk, sass, guts, power, commerciality, and by the sounds of this track a thick skin. In an industry where it’s easy to rock a sound, carving out her own IBIZA slice of party scene is where the real work begins. The good thing is she’s got a track with that name and it’s on blast.
It’s fresh enough to cast its own vote and relatable to what sells. A sneaky tactic. Much like I imagine this Ninja to be. And that’s part of her talent. Trendspotting, adaptability, and a pulse. “Party Heroes” is that quirky whiplashing sound the fills a gap in the industry that no longer has the attitude of Pink or the playfulness of No Doubt.
Japan is going to love her.
Parting fact:
In 2017, she opened for Grammy Award Winner Akon in Guelph, Ontario on his Canadian Promo Tour. Hot off the heels of her performance, Kristen was then approached and selected to play the Lady Gaga – Joanne World Tour VIP After-party once again in Vancouver after Lady Gaga’s performance at Rogers Arena.

Parting thoughts.
An electrical storm of playful kaleidoscopic proportions. There’s something very Alice in Wonderland about the whole thing. And there’s always room for fantasy. With punk. To bite.
