about

Karen Morrison, aka K Vibes (Karen Vibes), was born in Brooklyn, New York into a Jamaican family of six children. As the fifth child, American-born to two Jamaican parents, she has managed to maintain a stronghold on her Jamaican culture which is reflected in her soulful singing style. Deeply influenced by the musical genius of Jim Reeves, Billie Holiday, Dennis Brown, Marcia Griffiths and Lauryn Hill, she has fused together the genres of Gospel, Reggae, Jazz and Culture into a blend of rich and mesmerizing melodies. K Vibes always had a love for selecting music and began to take notes with a local sound system in her neighborhood of Crown Heights where she grew up. It was then that she met with artists like Screechy Don and Knight Rider of Vital 2000 who persisted that she not take for granted her talent as a vocalist and sing out as much as possible. Singing and spinning records for fun became a weekly event . K Vibes defining moment occurred in 1992 during a visit with Sir Tommy's at his recording studio in East New York. When she requested that someone sing her lyrics, Sir Tommy encouraged her to hum the words herself. After the first few notes, she began to sing, and at that moment she began her journey as a vocalist and gifted songwriter, writing all of her own lyrics and an occasional cover song as well. In 1996, K Vibes recorded her first single as Karen Morrison titled "Raggamuffin Soldier" with Producer Digital English, who released it to rave reviews. Also for Prod
