Karen L. Smith often says "timing is everything and that, all dreams are possible."
So, it's no surprise, she realized her dream and became a full-time professional musician.
Her instrument is the drum and you may hear her making beats on Philly sidewalks
or performing on the concert stage, across the US.
But there’s more to Karen than meets the eye. Karen uses her instrument as a healing and transformative medium, creating drums circles at schools, senior centers and community outreach functions. Brightening eyes and souls of many. She organized and is the artistic director and lead percussionist for two jazz ensembles -- Sistahs Laying Down Hands and Weez the Peebles. She coordinated the first John Coltrane Jazz Festival. She has written several plays including Legacy the Play and Legacy II, Where are the Tubmans? And the list goes on.
Nadine O, caught up with Karen L. Smith, right before her busy season, to talk about her passion for music and what she asked the universe to deliver to her. Take a listen.
