Karina M

KARINA is a Panamanian-American artist and songwriter based in Los Angeles, known for her heartfelt Spanglish pop and Latin RnB music that blends vulnerability with vibrant rhythms.

Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Karina’s path has been anything but ordinary. With deep roots in her culture and a passion for emotional storytelling, she followed her dreams to Los Angeles — where she continues to write music that reflects her truth, uplifts others, and celebrates self-expression.

Her work is defined by authenticity, romantic lyricism, and her signature whistle notes. As a Grammy Member and finalist in the Grammy U Songwriting Showcase (among other accolades), Karina’s voice has resonated far and wide — from sync placements in ESPN productions to editorial recognition on Spotify, including “New Music Friday Latin.”

Her live performances speak to her dedication and reach, with highlights such as singing the national anthem at the LA Clippers game at Crypto Arena, and appearances on Vision Latina’s Mañana Latina, Wish Bus USA in Hollywood, and major stages like LA County Fair, Jackalope Austin during SXSW, Hotel Cafe, Soho House, House of Blues, and more.

Karina also holds a music degree from Belmont University and has built a community of over 20,000 on BandLab, where she continues to inspire others with her creativity and positivity. Whether on stage, in the studio, or connecting with fans online, her mission remains the same: to make music that moves people — emotionally, culturally, and spiritually.
