Karina Stone is an indie alt-folk artist from the North of England with a sonically haunting & atmospheric sound. Intricate lyricism draws in listeners and her storytelling captivates. Writing alone, Karina’s songs are intimate confessions. Her music sits at the intersection of early Gracie Abrams, Phoebe Bridgers & Lizzy McAlpine.
