Karen Dió unveils masterful new EP 'My World' and announces tour with Limp Bizkit • GRIMM Gent

After ripping an epic EP release show in London, Karen Dió is dropping her latest body of work to the masses. The viral punk star who has been grabbing attention on the internet left and right, and recently signed to Hopeless Records. Now, she’s making the world her punk rock oyster with a flawless EP, My World, streaming everywhere now. It’s clear that after dipping her toe back into the music world this year, Karen is back in full force. This fierce collection of tracks showcases Dió‘s unapologetic sound and raw lyrical prowess, solidifying her status as a voice for the disenchanted and the fearless. Next up, Dió is raring and ready to rock a special Halloween show with Sum 41, plus a slew of November 2024 dates with WARGASM. The singer also just announced a Spring 2025 EU//UK run with Limp Bizkit.

Karen Dió shares:

‘My World’ sealed my comeback to the music industry, reassuring that here, making music, is where I belong. It’s the first music I wrote after a 2 year break. The songs are short, real, catchy, and straight to the point!

Nothing is permanent, and no one knows that better than Karen Dió.

“I have to be so unattached to friends, things, and objects,” Dió admits, after moving numerous times growing up and whilst starting her music career. The Brazilian punk rocker on the rise has always lived with transient energy, but especially lately, as she adjusts to the ebb and flow of life after having her July 2023 single “Sick Ride” go wildly viral.

“Sick Ride” is a little bit outside what I normally do,” Dió admits. “It was quite out of my world and I really didn’t know what it was going to be. When I saw all the great feedback and millions and millions of people watching and playing the songs and stuff…it’s just crazy.”

Crazy might even be an understatement she admits, after catching the attention of some of her all-time favorite artists like Sum 41, Incubus, Kenny Hoopla, and even… Fred Durst. An eclectic list, yes, but a testament to the mass appeal Dió has conjured up with her music magic.

And so with the support of a few famous friends, her new label (Hopeless Records), and high praise from the likes of Kerrang!, Dió is proudly bringing the brimming punk rock scene in Brazil to the world. Representing her Latin roots is, perhaps, the most important part of her artistry. “If I can open that door for Latin American artists, then I’ve accomplished my goal,” she says.
