Karen Parry is a dance vocalist who featured on a number of European hits in the 2000s, 2010s and 2020s.

She featured with Flip & Fill on chart hit "Shooting Star" in 2001,[1] originally recorded by happy hardcore act Bang!, reaching number 3 in the UK.

She featured with Flip & Fill on "Discoland" in 2004, reaching number 11 in the UK. This was originally a happy hardcore track by Tiny Tot. She featured on Pascal's remake of "I Think We're Alone Now", a cover of the 1960s classic by Tommy James & the Shondells (later covered in the 1980s by Tiffany), reaching UK #23 in 2002.

Parry is signed to AATW Records and regularly features on the Clubland album series. She recorded a cover of Irene Cara's "Flashdance" for the Clubland III album (2003). She collaborated with Pascal on "This Will Be (The Best Days Of Our Lives)" which featured on Clubland 4 (2003).
