Karianne is a Norwegian singer rising in London. Her voice has already been critically acclaimed as “crystalline clear”, “joyously playful” and “heart aching in its sincerity”. Having already spent a number of years as a professional singer on cruise ships and events around the world, lockdown-life encouraged Karianne to work more locally. She is now performing at weddings & events in London and surrounding areas. She is also available to book for international events, but no long term contracts. Karianne sings songs from a variety of genres, and is happy to receive song requests and learn them for you before your event. Available to book as a solo singer with backing tracks or as a duo with a selected pianist.

Karianne Kvalen's Reviews

5 out of 5

Karianne was amazing from start to finish. She communicated over the months and regularly checked in. She was willing to adapt songs for my playlist and even developed a backing track for my favourites song. Aside from that, she has an absolutely stunning voice and my neighbours even commented how beautiful it all sounded. I I think she could sing anything and make it sound beautiful – my playlist was very varied From classic rock to old folk. I thoroughly recommend. Karianne!

Karianne performed at my 50th birthday garden party and made the event so special! She brought her beautiful voice and personality to the performance, generating a warm relationship with the crowd. Karianne has an extensive repertoire of songs and was also happy to learn a couple more that mean a lot to me; her communication around the planning was very clear, timely and friendly. I’d love Karianne to join me at every birthday!

Karianne has appeared in our events for several years. She is not only a singer but a real artist. Her performance is strong and she catches the audience with her voice, artistic appearance and hits from the present as well as old classics. You can be sure that she sets a good mood for your event." - Odin Johansen, Commercial Manager, Mojo Event.
