Biography:

Songwriters Brett “B.” Crockett and Heather Pierce launched Karmacoda in 2001 to create music that mirrors the humanity captured within a specific time and space.

Lacing elements of electro, rock and jazz through a danceable groove, the band’s hybrid sound is modern, emotional, and infectious. With bass player Eric Matsuno’s hypnotic vibe, B. on vocals, guitar, and keys, and the soaring lead vocals of Heather, Karmacoda pours on the mood live, enveloping their fans completely.

Six self-released albums have garnered Karmacoda songwriting awards for “Swan” (Best Independent Song used in Film & Television—2003 Independent Music Awards) and “Make Like Mine” (Best Dance/Electronica Honorable Mention—2008 International Songwriting Competition). They are in regular rotation on radio (San Francisco’s “Chill with Alice” 97.3 FM), internet stations (Below Zero, Groovera, SOMA FM), electronic music podcasts (The Chillcast, Dave’s Lounge), and music discovery sites (Pandora, Last FM). Their songs have been licensed for placement on television (Burn Notice, MTV’s From G’s to Gents and Real World/Road Rules Challenge, Spike TV), independent film (Neverland, Paris, The Last Run, Voyeur), and compilation albums (San Francisco Under a Groove, Destination Lounge SF, Below Zero Minus 1).

Their seventh album, Eternal will be released on Sola Musa Music on August 2, 2011.
