Karuna Shinsho

Born: February 19, 1968

Born in Hawaii to Japanese parents, Karuna grew up surrounded by music. Her father, a classical music singer and DJ, regularly took her to concerts as a child. When she moved to Japan, Karuna fell in love with jazz after she saw the late Nancy Wilson sing at a club in Tokyo. She was blown away by the heart-wrenching interpretation of the master vocalist's signature song "Guess Who I Saw Today". Karuna also became obsessed with bossa nova after hearing the music of João Gilberto and Antônio Carlos Jobim.

Prior to Karuna's journey as a musical artist and lyricist, she was a recognized face in broadcast journalism, first on Japan's NHK Television, then later on other international networks, inlcuding Asia Business News, CNN International, and Australian Broadcasting Corporation. For fifteen years Karuna was seen by millions of viewers around the world and highly commended at the Asian Television Awards as Best News Presenter.
