Growing up, Karma had musical parents who’d enrolled her in piano lessons at an early age and encouraged her to sing for anyone that looked like they would possibly listen, whether it was at church or to Mickey Mouse whilst on vacation. Her technical background was further cultivated by singing with the original Glacier Children’s Choir of the Flathead Valley; the grass roots beginnings of the Glacier Symphony and Chorale organization conducted by Shauneen Garner. Karma has sang in ‘rock’ bands and choirs across the country and been awarded scholarships and placement in local talent shows like ‘Flathead’s Got Talent’. She now prefers the quieter life of unpaid gigs at local watering holes, volunteering at her church, and the occasional karaoke shindig.
