Full Fat & Sugar-Free Presents
KAREN DIO
Nothing is permanent, and no one knows that better than Karen Dió.
“I have to be so unattached to friends, things, and objects,” Dió admits, after moving numerous times growing up and whilst starting her music career. The Brazilian punk rocker on the rise has always lived with transient energy, but especially lately, as she adjusts to the ebb and flow of life after having her July 2023 single “Sick Ride” go wildly viral.
“Sick Ride” is a little bit outside what I normally do,” Dió admits. It was quite out of my world and I really didn't know what it was going to be. When I saw all the great feedback and millions and millions of people watching and playing the songs and stuff…it’s just crazy.”
Crazy might even be an understatement she admits, after catching the attention of some of her all-time favorite artists like Sum 41, Incubus, Kenny Hoopla, and even… Fred Durst. An eclectic list, yes, but a testament to the mass appeal Dió has conjured up with her music magic.
And so with the support of a few famous friends, her new label (Hopeless Records), and high praise from the likes of Kerrang!, Dió is proudly bringing the brimming punk rock scene in Brazil to the world, more specifically The Hope & Ruin, Brighton.
