I am a singer, guitarist, songwriter, and music producer focusing on rock-pop-alternative.
Hi, I´m Kari. I am a singer, guitarist and songwriter who can compose a song on demand. I can also adapt and translate your lyrics to/fro English-Spanish. I can also record vocals on your song or demo.
I am a music producer, I work in a professional recording studio and can record and produce your song remotely, hiring session musicians when needed. I deliver projects on high quality wav audio, and also stems when the artist needs to modify or re-record on their end.
I´ve lived in Asia and Australia where I toured and recorded in the late 90s-early 00´s. I have over 50 original songs (in English and Spanish) released with my projects HYPERSTATIC (´00-´17) and my current band SIVA. I´ve been actively producing albums and arranging songs for artists for over 10 years now. I specialize in rock -pop - indie- alternative, always trying to bring out the best in the songwriter, focusing on song structure and hooks.

Very good results here. Kari Mana made my songs sound great! On this gig we worked on songs both in English and Spanish. So, if you need to get songs done in Spanish, here you go! She can do it all, vocals, guitar, bass, keyboards, drums, and then produced the track. Thank you so much! Recommend!

I work in a pro recording studio called Maya Studio in Argentina, and we have a new 16ch, pre valve analog board, custom made for the studio. We´re very excited because this will improve the quality of live takes in the main recording room, where for ex. drums and guitars will sound more pure and true to the orignal musician´s takes.
