THE STORY 

With beautiful melodies and a strikingly intoxicating sound, 18 year old Slovakian wunderkind Karin Ann is already making a name for herself. After experiencing the worlds of fine arts and sports, she eventually found her calling in the world of music. Influenced by musicals, TV soundtracks and bands such as Queen, she wrote her first song at the age of 14, collaborated with a UK-based producer on her first songs by the age of 15, and eventually caught the eye of renowned producer Tomi Popovič, who took her through the process of creating her upcoming EP: "Tomi is so well known and well respected. I had a direction of where I wanted to go, and he helped me get there," she says.

Karin Ann's sound is both vibey and atmospheric, with a perfect balance of abstract & tangible, and is sung completely in English. "I feel more at home when I'm writing songs in English," she admits. She describes her music as "alternative trap" and touches a wide range of subjects, such as gender equality ("babyboy"), live and love toxicity ("3AM") or mental health ("in company").

Above all, Karin Ann hopes to bring a message with both her platform and her music. "I want to be regarded as more than just a singer", she adds, "because there are so many issues that need to be spoken about and singers are always told to just sing." The real highlight, however, will come from the stage once Karin Ann performs her EP live for her fans. "I can't wait to perform my new music," she says enthusiastically.
