WHO IS KARYN WHITE? Los Angeles-born singer Karyn White rose to fame following the release of her self-titled debut album in 1988. The album achieved platinum status in the United States and also scored her two Grammy nominations. White also became the first female artist to have three tracks from her debut album hit number one on the R&B charts.

Since then, White has released three more albums and collaborated with the likes of Mary J Blige, Monica, Johnny Gill and many more.
The 56-year-old's most recent album, Carpe Diem, was released in 2012 after a 17-year hiatus.
