Karen Harding

British singer/songwriter Karen Harding was born November 18, 1991. After success as a teenager in the 2008 Music Means Life competition, she focused on taking part in a televised 2010 contest to find England’s representative in the Eurovision Song Contest. She failed to win it, but did well enough that she parlayed her success into a spot on the tenth season of the British talent show The X Factor where her soulful R&B vocals drew comparison to artists such as Whitney Houston. Though she failed to win The X Factor, it helped bring her to the attention of Method Records, home of British superstar Sam Smith, and in 2015 they released her debut single, “Say Something”. The single became a hit, climbing to number 7 on the UK chart, and going top 20 in Scotland. Over the next few years came singles such as “Like I Can”, “Runaway”, and “I Don’t Need Love”, as well as a number 73 hit “More & More” on which she featured alongside main artist Tom Zanetti. In 2020 she issued the singles “Rely” and “Undo My Heart”, the latter an electro-tinged track that featured Digital Farm Animals, the pseudonym of English DJ Nicholas Gale.
