KARI (KARI AMIRIAN)

KARI formed in Jan 2013 when Kari Amirian

collaborated with Jon Headley, Chris Headley,

John Pullan and Callum Harvie.

By being in the right place at the right time the guys

crossed each others paths and created their album

“Wounds And Bruises”, which was successfully

released in Dec 2013. Since then Kari had been

touring the album around Europe.

Described as “an outstanding composer and

performer, with bags of talent”, Kari is a singersongwriter

and music producer, currently based

in Leeds / UK where she produced her latest project

“Wounds And Bruises”. Kari is a classically educated

musician, with a unique contemporary style. Along

with her band she delivers an original combination

of strong indie-pop vocal melodies, tribal-sounding

drums and experimental, electronic soundscapes.

Her songs have already been broadcast on BBC

Radio 1 and BBC Radio Leeds by Alan Raw,

who also said “her music transcends boundaries

and crosses genres. Surely she is destined for

international success.” On March 10th, 2014 track

called “The One” was placed on BBC Radio 1 playlist

as a part of BBC Introducing series. Consequently,

KARI was invited to perform at the BBC RADIO 1’s

BIG WEEKEND on May 24th, 2014. The band played

at the BBC Introducing stage and were well received.

There are new gigs coming soon as well.

WOUNDS AND BRUISES is an album of stark,

vivid contrasts: between the realm of spirit and

reality, between the powerful and the vulnerable,

between the rhythmic and the melodic & between

the brave and the quiet. Original and clever lyrics

compliment the music perfectly, adding an even

deeper spiritual dimension to the album.

Kari’s strong vocal tones are mixed with a wide array

of sounds, from alt-pop to electro and 80’s sounding

adventures.
