Karmin 100

Karmin was a pop duo, consisting of Amy Heidemann and Nick Noonan, who rose to fame from their YouTube channel featuring their innovative covers of popular songs.

They are known for their Pop/R&B/Hip-Hop fusion style that has evolved over their discography from cheery pop party anthems to unique, edgy blends of multiple genres and tongue-in-cheek humor. Their technical skills are best on display in acoustic songs where Amy’s vocals and both artists' ability to play multiple instruments are shown.

Karmin’s debut EP “Hello” was released in 2012. Then in 2014 their debut album “Pulses” came in 2014 following the moderately successful single “Acapella”. They are currently preparing to release their second album “Leo Rising” after departing from their record label Epic Records. They are set to release it independently and it contains the four singles “Along the Road”, “Didn’t Know You”, “Come With Me (Pure Imagination)”, and “Sugar”.

Karmin went on an indefinite hiatus after the release of Leo Rising, in order to pursue a new project: Qveen Herby. The project is Amy Noonan’s solo r&b/rap-career, and features Nick Noonan as a producer rather than a member.

Especially notable is Amy’s ability to rap exceedingly fast as is evident in their covers as well as their own tracks including a popular collaboration, No Flex Zone (Remix), with fellow YouTube sensation Watsky.

The name of the band is a portmanteau of the Latin word for song, “carmen” with a spelling-tweak to hint “karma”.
