“My music at its core is meditative. I use music as a spiritual practice. It helps me, and I hope when the product is made, it helps whoever is listening to it,” Karun explained to COLORS, describing her creative process.

During her COLORS SHOW performance, Karun performed “Only You”, a heartfelt ode to a past lover—a sentiment many can relate to. “I hope to keep discovering who I am and just being fiercely myself in whatever medium that is. Music is what I’m doing right now, and I hope it becomes even more powerful,” Karun shared on COLORS.

Identifying herself as an alte-artist due to her alternative sound, Karun expressed satisfaction with the growth of Kenyan music compared to ten years ago.

“We have a lot more alternative artists experimenting with different sounds, and it’s great to see,” she noted.
