Karen Bishko

Karen formerly worked as a portrait artist when Gary Kemp and Jess Bailey from Spandau Ballet, heard some songs she had written. They loved her heartfelt honesty and encouraged her to spend some time in the studio and focus on her music. With humour, her songs tell of her adventures with the men in her life and they talk about what it is to be a modern day woman. In 2007 she opened for British band Take That at Britain’s largest Arena, the O2. She has been working in the studio with Yoad Nevo (Sugarbabes, Girls Aloud, Jem) Stephen Lironi (Jon Bon Jovi, Hanson) In 2009 Karen left for New York to develop her musical, Therapy Rocks. The musical was staged at NYMF 2010(The New York Musical Theatre Festival) with a cast of five. It was directed by Thomas Caruso with Musical direction by Boko Suzuki (Rent, Sunset Boulevard, Phantom) She is in talks about further productions both for stage and screen.. WACBIZ connected with Karen at a SESAC/Society of Composers and Lyricist event. A welcomed catalogue of theatrical, light hearted and soulful songs!
