The pop artist Karin Park grew up in Djura, a town of 400 inhabitants in the middle of Sweden. She moved to Japan when she was 7, but she now lives in Bergen, Norway. With her expressive voice, dual musical citizenship and fascinating musical universe, she’s quickly become a respected media and audience favorite. Her modern Swedish pop music picks you up, but it also touches the very bottom of your heart.

She was already a critically acclaimed talent back in 2003. She’s had several radio hits and in 2004 she won the Alarm-award for “Best Newcomer” and was nominated for two Norwegian Grammy awards (the ”Spellemannspris-awards”) Her debut album’s title track “Superworldunknown” was nominated by the magazine Spirit and the biggest radio station in Norway, P3, as one of the best Norwegian songs of all time. She also won the Vise versa award in 2005.

In 2006 Karin released the follow-up ”Change Your Mind”. It showed a more mature artist with songs inspired by her own experiences and views on society.

Now in 2008, after a productive collaboration with Datarock, Kristian Stockhaus from Ungdomsskulen and Ralph Myerz, among others, Karin Park is back with songs that have a totally new, surprising twist. They’re electronic, minimalistic, beat-oriented, very catchy…and very Karin.

Her band delivers stunning performances with great songs, cool dancing. Karin takes the audience on an emotional ride with her charm and exceptional stageprecence.

Karin Park and her band have opened up for David Bowie and performed several concerts with the Bergen symphony orchestra. They have toured Norway and Sweden and are now focusing on China where they’ve been on tour several times. Karin released a song with a Chinese band which is now a candidate for the Official Olympic game song.


”I am striving to be an artist who has the ability to make people think,” says Park. “And make them take a stand in terms of which direction our lives are taking, and why. What do we want? Who do we want to be? And what are the choices we make?

”The questions are mine, but the answers are up to the listeners to determine.”
