Karen Meeks Johnson

Karen Meeks Johnson is gifted with an incredible singing voice and outstanding songwriting skills. The granddaughter of two founding pastors and the daughter of a pastor, Karen was born and raised in Northern California. The Church of God In Christ is where her religious and singing roots began. As young as three years old, Karen was singing in a children's choir. In addition to her own youth choir rehearsals, her choir director/pianist mother and organist/minister father would take her to weekly adult choir rehearsals. Karen found herself enthralled by the beautiful spirit filled voices of the soloists. It is after these anointed vocalists that she began to pattern herself. Since her teenage years, Karen has sung in weddings, special events, and talent competitions. Karen has also graced the Sacramento Kings basketball players and their fans with her special rendition of the Star Spangled Banner for 11 consecutive NBA seasons. Karen is currently a teacher in Northern California, married and the mother of two children. With a full life and a full schedule, she has made the time to use her life experiences to write songs in hopes of reaching and encouraging souls of all ages, races, and beliefs.
