"When something goes viral online, it typically needs to gain huge momentum for the story to make a small city’s local newspaper. When Aussie singer Kelsy Karter decided to get a tattoo of Harry Styles’ face on her cheek, she did just that. Not only did the stunt go viral online but it also made international headlines from both new & traditional news media, going so far as to reach my local city’s newspaper. This type of coverage could be stressful and overwhelming for a new artist, but Karter felt the song deserved the hype because she knew it was good.

 

Everything Karter does is well-thought-out, designed & planned to be impactful; as a lover of all forms of art, the great tattoo plot was a nod to the stunts well-loved rock stars would pull back in the 70s and 80s. Her love of acting when she was a kid has given her a vivid imagination and need to express herself creatively and uniquely. Even if the tattoo was fake, it was the best PR stunt anyone had seen in ages.

 

Now the crazy hysteria is over, Karter has garnered a loyal following of fans pre-Harry-tattoo and post-Harry-tattoo. It’s easy to like her sound; her strong vocals were made for gritty rock-n-roll songs and her familiarity with jazz has deeply influenced her work. {...}

Kelsy Karter is making a name for herself and solidifying her spot in the rock-n-roll genre."
