Karen Souza (born January 10, 1984 in La Pampa ) is an Argentine pop jazz and bossa singer.

Act

Souza began her career as a studio singer: under the pseudonyms Privé, Pacha Ibiza and FTV (FashionTV) , she sang lounge jazz versions of older hits, such as B. Do You Really Want to Hurt Me from Culture Club . This led to her invitation to the sampler Jazz and '80s in 2005 , on which she interpreted Personal Jesus from Depeche Mode and Every Breath You Take from The Police .

In 2010 Souza had several appearances at the Blue Note in Tokyo and then received a contract from JVC Victor Japan. So far (2019) she has released four albums under her own name: In addition to jazz versions of hits, especially from the 1980s, initially on the two Essentials albums, her repertoire included the Los Angeles album Hotel Souza and partly on Velvet Vault's own songs. Souza has also toured Latin America, such as Venezuela and Brazil. In 2013 she toured Mexico for two months.

Terry Gilliam used Souza's version of Creep in his feature film The Zero Theorem (2013). She also made an appearance in the comedy film George Biddle, CPA .
