Karmin

Karmin, an American pop duo formed by Amy Renee Noonan and Nick Noonan, began their journey as a novelty act on YouTube, where they gained significant attention for their creative covers. In 2011, they signed with Epic Records, marking a pivotal moment in their career. Their debut EP, “Hello,” released in May 2012, featured hit singles like “Brokenhearted” and “Hello,” showcasing their unique blend of pop and hip-hop influences. The duo’s dynamic performances earned them accolades, including Amy being named the winner of Rolling Stone’s “Women Who Rock” contest in 2012.

In March 2014, Karmin released their highly anticipated debut album, “Pulses,” which included the chart-topping single “Acapella.” The album achieved commercial success, charting in the top 10 in Australia and New Zealand, and went Gold in the United States. Following their departure from Epic Records later that year, Karmin embraced a more independent approach to their music, allowing them to explore their artistic vision freely.

The duo’s second album, “Leo Rising,” released on September 9, 2016, further demonstrated their evolution as artists. They collaborated with various musicians and released several singles, including “Sugar” and “Yesterday,” which highlighted their versatility and commitment to innovation in the music industry.

In 2017, Karmin transitioned to focus on Amy’s solo project, Qveen Herby, which marked a shift towards R&B and hip-hop. This rebranding was met with positive reviews, affirming their ability to adapt and thrive in a changing musical landscape. With a strong foundation and a commitment to artistic growth, Karmin continues to inspire fans with their music.
