Now Karen O might be resonably new on the rock scence, but in my opinion her quirky orginalltiy puts her high up there on my list.
Karen Lee Orzolek was born in November 1978 in South Korea. The family then moved to New Jersey in the United States. Karen attend New York Universitys Tisch School of Arts.
She is most famous as the front women for the New York band The Yeah Yeah Yeah's who formed in 2000. She is also known for her crazy on stage antics, for example in 2003 at a festival in Australia she accidently danced off stage and had to be taken to hospital. She also does things like spits water all over herself during her shows, which only add to her image.
Karen has won many awards for her high fashion approach to rock and her good looks, bellow is a list of awards she has won.
- Spin Magazines Sex Goddess award, 2004 and 2005.
- Rocks hottest women by Blender in 2006.
- Number 3 in Spinner.com's women who rock right now list in 2007.
- Shockwaves NME award for hottest women in 2010.
Aswell as the Yeah Yeah Yeah's Karen O has done alot of soundtrack work. She collabarted with other artists on the soundtacks for films such as "The house of wax" and "Jackass 2". Her most famous soundtrack work though is "Where the Wild things are", she compssed every piece of music on this films soundtrack.
Karen O has her own incredible sense of style and quirky sining style. Along with her crazy on stage antics i think she is one of the most stand out rock chicks out there today.
