Karen P

Having collected records for as long as she can remember, music has always been central to Karen P's life and career.



She established herself at the tender age of 23 as one of the youngest producers at BBC Radio 1, on Gilles Peterson’s weekly ‘Worldwide’ broadcasting phenomenon. She enhanced the original ‘join the dots’ concept of the show, while changing the format, by organising sessions and live events, and introducing established artists whilst continuing to nurture new talents. Under Karen’s watchful eye, the Radio 1 Worldwide show toured the UK and international spots at the Miami Winter Music Conference, Sonar Electronic Festival in Barcelona and Exit in Serbia among many more.



Having set-up and project managed Gilles Peterson’s monthly ‘Independent Mix’ club night in London, Karen went on to start Broad Casting; a groundbreaking event which is built around unique collaborations curated by Karen herself and broadcast on Red Bull Music Academy Radio. Karen's DJ sets are always as eclectic, deep and thoughtful as the lineups themselves and whether she’s turning hip-hop or broken beat, R’n'B or afro-beat, dubstep or soul, she always has total control of the dance-floor.



As well as DJing at venues and festivals across the globe, Karen set up Karen P Productions Ltd in 2007 and helped build the groundbreaking Red Bull Music Academy Radio. Having grown into an award-winning radio production company working at the forefront of online broadcasting and branded audio, Karen recently re-branded it as Folded Wing and has done work for the BBC, Nike, Fabric and Red Bull UK amongst many more.
