Get to know Karin Melón. Norwegian-Filipino producer and rapper, releases her debut album “Ups & Downs”  

Karin Melón is an independent rapper, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist. “Ups & Downs” is an emotionally charged autobiographical debut album, where she opens up about past struggles.

The album includes 9 tracks with features from “Damien” and previous Norwegian Grammy Awards nominee “Son of Light” from Tee Productions. It opens with “Lola & Lolo”, a tribute to her Filipino roots and grandparents who she unfortunately never meet. On “Don't Worry” she recounts her experience growing up with her strong mother, who travelled halfway across the world for love more than 30 years ago. Little did she know that this was the last time she saw her parents. “Dear Father” settles a score with her dad who abandoned them before he even meet his daughter. Fortunately life also includes some ups. In 2017 Karin got married. “I Said Yes” is a song of love and happiness. Some of those moments in life where true happiness appears. Fear has many faces. “Alone” featuring “Son of Light” is a song about battling depression, anxiety and loneliness. A feeling many can relate to.
