Nothing is permanent. Karen Dió knows that better than most. “I have to be so unattached to friends, things, and objects,” she says, a mindset forged through constant moves growing up and carried with her into music. Across her songs, Dió explores the passage of time, personal freedom and eternal youth with a perspective shaped by experience rather than nostalgia. Backed by Hopeless Records, Dió is also determined to shine a light on Brazil’s punk rock community on a global scale. For her, representing her Latin roots isn’t a talking point, it’s a responsibility. “If I can open that door for Latin American artists, then I’ve accomplished my goal,” she says.
