Kristen Karma has the power to make pink hardcore, and she will not take, "No" for an answer. With a career that is already blossoming in the Vancouver pop/dance scene, Kristen Karma is sitting pretty on her glam pop throne.

Even though much of her formative years were devoted to a theoretical and exacting world of ballet lessons, Air Cadets, Military Marching Bands, and The Royal Conservatory of Music, some of the only evidence that remains of her past is the neon pink tulle that shoots out from under her black corset. It's undeniable—Kristen Karma is a band nerd. But she is a band nerd who might punch you in the face for showing up late to practice.

Keep an eager ear out for her upcoming single, "Supersonic Barbie," which exposes the listener to a choir of plastic dolls taking up the BGV's behind Karma, who plays the role of the master conductor with a black and pink Midas touch.
