Karen Young (Canadian singer)
- Karen Young (Canadian singer)
Karen Young (born in Montreal on June 19, 1951) is one of the ground-breaking figures of jazz in Québec, Canada. As a singer, lyricist, composer and arranger, she has never ceased to explore many different musical styles. Starting in folk in the late '60s, she switched to jazz in the mid '70s with the successful Bepop vocal group, "Bug Alley". In the 80's, she was part of the renowned bass and voice duo, "Young and Donato". Her eclecticism and knowledge of world, classical and jazz styles allows her to present works ranging from traditional, latin and contemporary jazz to, more recently, medieval and electro jazz. She established her own independent record label in 1991, "Les Disques URSH". Since then, she has released nine records, each one with a unique style and combination of artists from different musical backgrounds and traditions.
