She has seven recordings as a leader, all of which have garnered rave reviews (nominated for JUNO Awards, ADISQ, Prix OPUS).

Singer-songwriter and arranger Karen Young made her professional debut with a single, the 1971 folk song Garden of Ursh. In the mid-1970s, she developed a passion for jazz that would never leave her. Recipient of the Oscar Peterson Award in 2016 and a CALQ Career Grant in 2008, Karen Young won the Prix Félix for Jazz Album with Michel Donato for Contredanse in 1988, and for Classical Vocal Album in 2008 for her album Âme, corps et désir. Karen Young has never turned down a musical challenge, having sung in over 20 languages, from impossible scores with the SMCQ to albums for children; her voice can be found on over 40 albums.
