Her family came to the conclusion that she was destined to be a vocalist because the moment she came out of the womb, her first cry had the sound of a note that only a vocalist could hit.
By the time she was seven, Kari was performing on stage at Disneyland's “Golden Horseshoe” in a girls group called “The Little Tots” who were discovered and managed by Hollywood's own, highly acclaimed Film Producer, Cassius Weathersby, which sparked the interest of famed Producer and Composer, H. B. Barnum. During her middle and high school years, Kari continued her pursuit of music by performing in various talent shows and drama productions that prepared her to become a professional vocalist. In college, her studies included music appreciation, voice technique, sight-singing, dance, and theater arts.
Once the industry heard a glimpse of her voice, it did not take long for her to impress some of the best in the industry, which led to her being featured on the “Jackee and Friends Show,” produced by Darryl Lovett (DLUV Productions). She was also featured on the soundtrack of the re-make movie made for television”To Sir With Love II” starring Sidney Poitier. This year, Kari was invited to join a cast of celebrities including Chante Moore, Tata Vega, and Sheldon Reynolds (EWF) to perform in honor of Michael Jackson whose Award was accepted by his brother, Tito Jackson, an unforgettable experience that shows she has already made a name for herself and her appeal just continues to grow.
