Karen Linette: Aretha Franklin Tribute

One never knows what type of seed is planted until that flower blooms. The vocal beauty that emerges from Karen Linette was recognized long after her first presentation to her mother, when she and her older brother would perform songs that were played during her childhood. That radiance developed into an organic sound, establishing Karen as the go-to person for vocals initially in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan area.

With more than twenty years of experience as a singer and collaborative artist, she has also shared the stage with national recording artists such as Norman Connors, Dawn Robinson of En Vogue, Cece Peniston, Club Nouveau, Case, Miles Jaye, Anthony David, Miki Howard, Regina Belle, Tom Browne, Dexter Wansel, and numerous others.

Karen has also been called upon quite frequently to perform the National Anthem at the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts as well as the Washington Wizards (NBA) and the Washington Mystics (WNBA). Meeting the call for excellence, Karen also took the breath of the audience during a 2013 Inauguration Celebration performance honoring President Barack Obama.

From the legendary Blues Alley to the world-renowned Apollo Theater and beyond, the number of venues that have welcomed Karen to grace its stages continues to grow. Her respect for the foundation is why Karen continues to remain as a pillar in the national music community and even more recently, the acting world. Bridging her voice with song and the playwright puts Karen in a new realm of local, national and international opportunities. With faith and constant work, Karen Linette perseveres to be a flowering talent, using her versatile approach to soul and jazz music as the refreshing comfort that listeners pine for in today’s musical climate.
