Artist Bio:
Austin-based songwriter Karen Chisholm likes to describe her music as friendly, with pop sensibilities. But her genre-blurring tunes range from addictive pop to dark, sensual blues, rhythmic rock, soaring ballads and even a sweet little ditty here and there. In 2011 alone, she has written for several films — including an animated short honored as a finalist in the 2011 Hollywood Feel Good Film Festival — and two placements in an iPhone app. Her engaging vocals (think bits of Sheryl Crow, Dido, Feist and Aimee Mann), haunting melodies, cinematic sound and imagery and direct lyrics have a way of permeating listeners’ hearts and minds, winning her new fans on a daily basis
Chisholm has been through a lot in her young life, and the color of that experience is in every one of her songs. Raised by teenagers in Michigan, she found her own way in the world, landing in Texas as a young teen, putting herself through college and developing a career in music and graphic arts. She has survived the suicide of friends and battled cancer. It’s all there in her songs – not the details, but the sound and the feeling and the hard-earned wisdom.
Though she has written songs all her life, Chisholm has pursued music as a career only since 2008. But she’s been busy: In 2010 she released a video and a 12-song CD on which she collaborated with four producers, and in 2011 she released two music videos. 2012 will bring six new song-producer collaborations and two more videos, as well as several publishing projects.
