Karyn White - VOCAL LEGEND

A lonely, rejected housewife is alone in her suburban home and is battling the effects of a broken marriage. She feels as if she has no one to love and support her, her heart is heavy and her mind is cluttered with confusion.

After a long day off dropping off the kids and running errands, she decides to lift her spirits with some music and a day of cleaning. Once she turns on the sound system within the home, she hears a song that registers with her, Karyn White’s “Superwoman”.

It is at that precise moment that the rejected wife decides to become more empowered and stand up for herself. Karyn White has that effect on many people throughout the world and her respect reflects that with her legions of fans.

Born October 14, 1965 in Los Angeles, California, Karyn White’s life spelled out destiny at an early age. Her father was a trained and skilled musician and her mother was a seasoned choir instructor so quite naturally she would mesh well within music and arts. She gained more exposure singing in various choirs and talent shows where she perfected her god given gifts and talents.

As time progress, Karyn would venture off and sing with the likes of Legacy and Soul Producer/Singer O’Bryan but her defining moment would come from singing lead on Jeff Lorber’s “Fact of Life.” Her smooth yet powerful vocals would eventually lead to her meeting with various recording companies and deals being placed on the bargaining table. She would finally choose Warner Bros Records to be the place of her recording her very first project.

The project simply entitled “Karyn White” would prove to be a quality project with the chart topping hit “The Way You Love Me”. She would go on to release the empowering anthem “Superwoman” and with the song, Karyn would prove to be the poster child for Women being and feeling empowered.

She would eventually be met with the greatest blessing ever, after marrying Producer Terry Lewis and producing her follow up project “Ritual of Love”, she became a mom for the first time. In 1992, Ashley Lewis was born and proved to Karyn that the greatest joy in the world is that of a mom. Being the uber singer that she is, she would go on to release more top ten hits from her follow up project including: “The Way I Feel About You”.

Karyn and Lewis would ultimately divorce and she settled into the role of a mother and business woman by opening a successful interior design and real estate business. Even with all the success in her business ventures and her raising a beautiful daughter, Karyn could not stay away from her first love.

Now remarried, Karyn is now in the studio prepping for a return to the industry that has missed her ever since the day she left to raise her daughter.
