Now booking live shows across Austin & Central Texas

Exquisitely Fragile...
— The Austin Chronicle, Caroline Drew

Singer-songwriter Karima Santi is a Nigerien-American artist based in Austin, TX and a grantee of the Austin Live Music Fund. Her band’s soulful jazz arrangements create a lounge atmosphere reminiscent of Santi’s favorite artist Sade. Her setlist of covers & originals fuses the best of 70’s soul, 80’s r&b, and modern lounge. Her delicate vocals and backing jazz trio create the perfect vibe for an intimate evening in your venue.

A little mystery and a lot of heart...
— CBS Austin, Trevor Scott
