As soon as you hear the music of singer & songwriter Karma who is based out of
Los Angeles, CA; you will quickly realize that not all Karma is bad. Karma describes
her style as R&B sprinkled with a twist of Hip Hop and Soul. Since the age of 7,
Karma who was born Paula Renee Joseph absorbed every ounce of music she heard
which eventually led her to embark on her own music career. Appreciating music
from artists who may not be number one on the charts all the time, Karma notes
artists such as Teedra Moses & Aaliyah as influences in addition to legends such
as Mary J. Blige, Gladys Knight, Lauryn Hill & of course Aretha Franklin just to name
a few.
Choosing to pursue singing was a serious decision for Karma once she
realized jaws dropping followed by applause when she would imitate her favorite
singers that came on the radio while she was growing up. Karma learned at an
early age that being versatile with music would lead to a well rounded career so
she immersed herself in to Jazz, R&B, Soul, Hip Hop plus Pop music to help
cultivate a unique style all her own.
Karma realized early on that aspiring to be a great singer & songwriter is one thing
but building a solid music resume is another. With the goal to create music that
doesn’t have an expiration date & to become a brand that people can relate to more
so than just an artist, Karma jumped feet first in to writing, singing & production.
Not only has Karma been the back-up singer for several artists including Sharon
Maree, Steve Harris, Brooke Taylor, Sheena Player, Minh & Amber Melody; Karma
has also written songs for several artists exclusively under Heat Pharm
Productions when she was a songwriter.
Karma has performed at a number of
venues in Southern California including M Bar, Hollywood Bar and Grill, Cohibas
Night Club and Lounge, House of Blues, Waterfront, Hollywood Park Casino & The
Airliner. Karma released her debut project titled, “The Good Karma Project” which
includes songs “My Room” & “Patient”
