ABOUT ME
My name is Karen Williams. I have been singing since my early school years and have a rich musical background. I was a past member of the Nottingham Operatic Society, which provided me with valuable experience.
Since 2019, I have been actively performing in various venues, including pubs, festivals, and private events as part of a duo. Additionally, I have had the privilege of hosting open mic nights to support emerging talent.
For the past two years, I have also been working as a vocal coach, helping my clients hone their singing abilities.
