Biography

It’s 2011 and Karen David stands on the precipice of achieving the goal of becoming the recording artist she first dreamed of at the age of just four. All of the material on her upcoming solo artist project ‘The Girl in the Pink Glasses’ has been self-written or co-written alongside talent such as Boots Ottestad (Robbie Williams, Macy Gray) and Geoff Cohen (Josh Groban, Mandy Moore). Free from the confines of genre expectations, its eclectic adventure in sound visits electro-pop, classic Eighties influences and a grittier rock edge.

With an image inspired as much by the iconic figures of Audrey Hepburn and Eva Gardner as the arse-kickin’ undercover female agents of the Sixties, it’s a project where the concept vitally underpins the music.

Her film career has included a starring position in the ‘Scorpion King’ franchise and she was personally cast by Christopher Nolan in a supporting role in ‘Batman Begins’. “It was a brief but pivotal ‘pay your dues’ moment,” she laughs whole-heartedly. “But working with him for even just a week was a great learning experience.” Her screen career has continued to flourish with subsequent work with Robert De Niro, Kevin MacDonald and Rodrigo Cortes.

It’s perhaps her small screen roles that have earned her the majority of her fans. In BBC’s ‘Waterloo Road’ she played Francesca Montoya, a teacher who fell in love with a student. The storyline generated controversy aplenty, but also more and more admirers fell for David’s compelling performance. A contrasting role in post-modern cult CBBC hit ‘Pixelface’, created by Graham Norton’s So Television, amplified the love that flooded her way.
