Karen Morales grew up in Melbourne, Australia and studied contemporary/jazz piano at the Box Hill College of Music.
This path led her to experiment with a collage of styles like Salsa, Funk, Soul, Acid Jazz and Drum & Bass.
As well as studying and teaching music, Karen was an in demand rehearsal pianist for several Melbourne theatre companies before moving to becoming a musical director.

Tired of playing in cover bands, Karen spent 2005 onwards focusing on her own songwriting.
After receiving positive feedback for her acoustic demos on MySpace, Karen recorded her first Demo ``My Everything’’ in 2008 featuring artists such as Derrick McKenzie (Jamiroquai - UK), Jesers (France), Princess Freesia (Australia), Cory Jach (Australia), and James Higgins (Soul Continuum -Australia).

Recently returning from Europe where she teamed up with Derrick McKenzie for a writing session in London’s legendary Tin Pan Alley Studios, Karen is now working on releasing her debut solo album.
Stay tuned for the release along with more tunes via MySpace/YouTube/artst.
