Wind Song Combos

Karen Benjey was born in Toledo Ohio. Introduced at an early age to stride piano by her mother, Karen says, I knew from age three that I would become a singer. My mother's playing was a very strong influence on me. During the period I was growing up. There was music all around me. I was very influenced by my own era of pop music, the black soul and R & B artists of nearby Detroit. Upon relocating to the Tampa Bay area in the late '80's she met and collaborated with the great pianist, Kenny Drew jr. For her debut album, PAPER MOON.
