She has collaborated with several artists, both local and international. In her music, Karun sings about her life experiences, and in an interview with Okay Africa, the singer mentioned that her mom thought she was too giving of herself. Karun is only happy to give and inspire others through the music she makes.
She has released 4 albums and several other projects starting with the 2013 album ‘Sun & Moon’ followed by Indigo in 2016, Catch a Vibe in 2021, and a collaboration project titled Passenger 555 with Jinku in 2021.
