Artist Biography
First known as the frontwoman for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Karen O began branching out from the band's incendiary rock soon after their 2003 debut album, Fever to Tell. Along with loaning her malleable yet distinctive voice to peers such as Santigold and the Flaming Lips, many of her collaborations have had a decidedly cinematic bent. One of her most enduring creative partnerships was with director Spike Jonze: her music for 2009's Where the Wild Things Are and 2013's Her garnered Grammy and Academy Award nominations. O brought the tender, fiery, and dramatic sides of her music together on Lux Prima, her 2019 collaboration with Danger Mouse.
