About me
Karis is a trained, experienced and professional singer. At 18 she became professional, singing and dancing with the pop band UNTOUCHED. She was with the band for 5 years, during which time they released a single "Never Too Late", supported LIBERTY X, worked with Crimestoppers touring the U.K. and other parts of Europe and enjoyed singing at Elland Road in front of a screaming audience of 40,000 as the 'before game warm up' act for Leeds v Liverpool. Therefore it's no surprise that Karis is not fazed when it comes to performing in front of crowds of people. After she left the band, Karis took a contract singing solo on a cruise ship which sailed from Kenya to The Seychelles visiting Madagascar and The Comoros. The next year she toured Cyprus as a member of a female four-part harmony production. In the following year Karis joined an ABBA Tribute in Rhodes and also worked as a fronting vocalist with a party/rock band. Currently, Karis sings lead vocals with a popular function band at venues all over the U.K. She also has her own successful act which is South East based and performs most weekends. She also has had extensive experience in some great recording studios and has enjoyed teaming up with different artists such as the 'SourPussProject' and recording the track "Aint got time". At various times Karis has taught at Theatre Schools in Kent and East Sussex, coaching young people in song and dance. At the moment she enjoys teaching and specialising in ISTD Tap and Modern Theatre . Karis is also a Patron for the very successful Maidstone based charity 'Harmony'.Additional skills:
