Interview with Karli June
Listowel, Ontario Country artist KARLI JUNE has been dreaming about - and working at - a career in country music since she first began performing at age 9.\xa0In high school, Karli's interest in writing blossomed and she began to write power ballads and quickly progressed into writing music to get people on the dance floor.\xa0Her musical education continued at Sir Wilfrid Laurier University where she studied classically and continued her musical journey learning under the talented tenor Brandon Leis. Karli graduated with an Honours Bachelor of Music and became determined to begin a career where she could reach people with her music whether it be to get through a difficult time or to just help them let loose.\xa0\n\nShe\xa0recently had the opportunity to open for Country artists\xa0Terri Clark and Chuck Wicks. "I\xa0listened to Terri a lot growing and it was so great to see her perform again," Karli explains. "And it was such an honour to share the stage with her. I also had the chance to chat with band members from Chuck Wicks band, who gave me some great advice as I start my career." Karli has been added to the line up at festivals this summer including Lucknow's Music in the Fields alongside acts Gord Bamford and Dierks Bentley. Tune in to hear this talented\xa0Canadian Country artist\xa0talk about her start in music,\xa0songwriting, performing & much more - plus you'll hear the debut of a brand new song of hers!
