Karla sings
... and is a SOuthern Belle in both manner & spirit. Karla was raised in Dallas, Texas, and studied vocal performance at the storied music program at the University of North Texas. Karla plays gigs all over the Baltimore-Washington area, including spots with musicians who regularly round out sessions with the likes of Prince, Justin Timberlake, Al Dimeola, Bebe Wynans and Eva Cassidy. At 18, Karla debuted at Switzerland's famous Montreux Jazz Festival. In 2009, she shared a stage with Mary Wilson of the Supremes. She has toured in the Greek Isles and Dubai, but feels just as comfortable reinvigorating the standards in front of a hometown crowd at Baltimore's Federal Hill Jazz and Blues Festival.
