Karen Jacobsen
Performer
International Performer and Songwriter Karen Jacobsen’s timeless, cinematic, piano-driven songs have been licensed to US networks and she’s been called “hypnotic” by Harry Connick Jr. Her speaking voice unexpectedly landed in a billion GPS and smartphone devices, (original Australian voice of Siri).
Music highlights include sharing the stage: Norah Jones, Neil Sedaka, Jon English, Christopher Cross, Cyndi Lauper, anthem performances at Madison Square Garden, Dodger Stadium, Giants Stadium(80k) and co-founding Whitsundays Songwriter Festival.
As composer, Karen’s AIR-Award nominated pop-orchestral composition “Misogyny Opus” premiered at the MECC with musicians from the Queensland Symphony Orchestra setting Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard’s misogyny speech to music. A seasoned performer she has had wide media coverage internationally including being a clue in The New York Times crossword puzzle and performing at Adelaide Fringe Festival and Woodford Folk Festival.
