Though she was raised in Winnipeg and launched her career in Toronto, Karen Kosowski has become one of the go-to producers shaping the sound of Nashville in the 2020s. She first found chart success with Tennessee R&B duo Tryon, bringing an ’80s-synth bounce to their 2015 hit “Somebody to Love Me”. Since then, she’s used her silky-smooth touch to shepherd pop crossovers—and the occasional Metallica cover—for next-generation country stars like Mickey Guyton.
