Karina Pasian

Hailing from Washington Heights, New York City, Karina Pasian is one of the industry’s most impressive and accomplished emerging young artists on the rise. Beginning her career at only twelve years old, Karina garnered the attention of industry heavyweights early on. In 2005 she signed a deal with Island/Def Jam Recordings at the age of thirteen through LA Reid and released her debut album “First Love” in 2008. Karina’s debut record received a Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary R&B Album. A natural born performer and classically trained pianist/vocalist since the age of three, Karina had the passion and professionalism of a seasoned artist at a young age. At twelve years old, she performed at Quincy Jones’ We Are the Future concert in Rome, and by the time she’d matured to her mid-teens, performed at The White House for President George W. Bush in celebration of Black Music Month. Karina's magnetic stage presence captivates those who see her. She has such versatility and brings her own twist in a way that leaves audiences everywhere speechless. Accomplishing so much at an early age, the best is yet to come. Her sweet sultry vocals coupled with her massive range prove she is a force to be reckoned with.
