Karmin

Karmin, comprised of Amy Heidemann and Nick Noonan, transitioned from YouTube sensations known for viral covers to a successful pop duo, ultimately evolving into Qveen Herby, an R&B and hip-hop artist. After their cover of Chris Brown’s ‘Look at Me Now’ garnered millions of views and viral buzz in April 2011, the pop duo Karmin, comprised of Amy Heidemann and Nick Noonan, became a sensation, securing a recording contract with Epic Records the same year. Graduates of Berklee College of Music in 2008, Heidemann and Noonan leveraged their online success, transitioning from viral cover artists to a recognized force in music. In May 2012, Karmin released their debut EP, ‘Hello,’ which featured the internationally successful single ‘Brokenhearted.’ This track reached the top 10 in the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand, and the top 20 in the United States and Canada.

This rebranding marked a definitive move from pop origins, establishing Qveen Herby as an artist committed to exploring new creative territories and showcasing a distinct musical identity. As Qveen Herby, the artist has continued to independently release music, forging a path defined by artistic autonomy and genre exploration. This evolution, from viral YouTube sensation to a chart-topping pop duo and ultimately to an acclaimed independent R&B and hip-hop artist, underscores a dynamic career marked by adaptability, consistent success, and a steadfast commitment to creative growth and authentic expression.
