Meet our Rock Musicians
Kings of Karma
Rock Band
Emerging from the vibrant Southern California coastline, Kings Of Karma is a dynamic rock band recognized for their explosive sound and diverse musical influences. Winners of the 2021 Hollywood Music & Media Awards for ‘Best Rock Song’ and recent inductees into the California Music Hall of Fame, the band seamlessly blends styles reminiscent of iconic acts such as Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, and The Black Crows.
Formed in 2016 by longtime friends and former bandmates Chris Gates and Joe Berry, Kings Of Karma was conceived as an outlet for musical freedom and creative expression. The band members, each bringing unique backgrounds as multi-instrumentalists, songwriters, and composers, collaborate to create a modern yet vintage soul-infused approach to Blues and Rock ‘N’ Roll.
Their latest single, “Selfish Lover,” is currently available, paving the way for the highly anticipated release of their new album, Bite The Bullet, released in December 2024.
