She was impacted greatly the moment she viewed Janet Jackson’s video “Love Will Never Do Without You”. It was at that moment her career was etched in stone.

This exposure and confidence led her to branch out soon after as a solo artist quickly picking up the title of the “Queen of Urban Pop Soul” throughout the DC area. Karmella has mentored young gifted artists as an instructor at Duke Ellington School of Arts in Washington, DC.
