Karianne Kvalen

Karianne is a Norwegian pop artist rising in London. Her voice has already been critically acclaimed as “crystalline clear”, “joyously playful” and “heart aching in its sincerity”.

Having already spent a number of years as a professional singer, Lockdown-life made Karianne want to connect with her audience in a new way.

Growing up in the era of Max Martin (A1, Back Street Boys and Katy Perry ++) alongside a deep appreciation of older greats, these timeless elements resonate to this day in her contemporary pop sound. Her performance career had her singing the likes of Aretha, Whitney, Mariah and Lauren Hill, and she’s chosen to continue the legacy, boldly stepping into the light and choosing to be a role model that people can relate to with a basic message of our desire to love, and be loved in return, reflected in her debut single ‘Giving Love a Try’. Her newly released song conveys the feeling of being locked in the familiar and comfortable - the daily routines. It depicts the excitement and unpredictability that comes from giving in to living life to the fullest - following and trusting your gut feeling.

Karianne describes her fresh journey as a singer-songwriter with three words: Bambi On Ice.
“I dare to live, experience, and feel… then I create from those feelings, and trust in my gut that there’s always a way to figure things out!”
