Karma was named by her progressive parents, an Episcopalian Minister and a southern bluegrass singer. Karma's father's spiritual calling in the church took the family from Asheville NC, to Austin TX, to Panama, to Philadelphia PA, and finally to King City CA. Her mother was a professional singer whose love of the lyrical content of Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, and Carol King had a deep impact on Karma's young musical psyche. But, It was in junior high school in urban Philadelphia that Karma discovered music for herself and on her own terms. Karma attended junior high school (with a primarily black student body) in East Oak Lane, PA where she discovered Prince. Her love of R&B was forged in these formative years, as she began cutting her vocal chops in a church choir.

In the summer before her freshman year in high school, Karma's father uprooted and moved the family again, this time to King City, California to lead a congregation there. Rural King City is a predominately white and hispanic farming community, and a complete culture shock to Karma from her years spent in Phily. As hard as it is being the new kid in school, especially your freshman year in high school, Karma was no stranger to adjusting to new environments and quickly adapted. Enter Led Zeppelin and Guns & Roses to Karma's musical universe. If you listen to Karma's "Last Time" you can hear the influence of "Appetite for Destruction", or listen to "They've Got A Name For You" and hear the impact of Zeppelin.
