Kara Connolly has it all: charisma, a commanding stage presence, an emotive voice, and that rare gift for writing songs that are simultaneously heartfelt, sincere and undeniably infectious upon first listen. Despite being a wholly independent, self-supported artist, she’s been nominated for three Hollywood Music in Media Awards (Best Independent Music Video and Best Message Song/Social Impact), on the first-round GRAMMY® ballot for “Best Pop Vocal” album, and ranked in industry insider Music Connection Magazine as one of their Top 4 Unsigned Artists of the year.
With sold-out shows at Los Angeles hotspots The Hotel Cafe and Interscope’s The Peppermint Club, devoted supporters (or “Karakeets” as they have so proudly claimed their fandom), noteworthy features within SPIN Magazine, Rolling Stone IN, American Songwriter, and an exclusive KTLA 5 News performance, as well as major sync placements within studio films, network television shows, and ads—Kara is certainly one to watch.
