Biography

Karyn White, a crossover contemporary R&B singer from Los Angeles, began her music career by singing in choir and local talent shows. In 1984, she toured with R&B vocalist O'Bryan and gained a recording contract with Warner Bros. Her self-titled debut album in 1988, predominantly produced by L.A. Reid and Babyface, sold over two million copies and featured three number one R&B singles. White's follow-up album, Ritual of Love (1991), produced by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, also saw success with a number one R&B single. After a hiatus to focus on family and business ventures, she returned to music in 2012 with her fourth album, Carpe Diem, released on the EMI-distributed Lightyear label.
