On April 21, 2016 Alvarado releasing her debut EP " Venusian".


The style is a 90’s kind of sound that meets a new school lyrical approach, story telling and playful rhyming over lo-fi vibey beats.

On Venusian, Alvarado deliberately avoids using typical rap punchlines. Instead she wanted to go deeper into different themes which are hinted at by some of the song titles: ”Pressure”, ”Karma” and ”Thinking About You”. Venusian is produced partly by Rob Smyles and partly by Jonas Fenger aka FENGSFIVE, whom Alvarado has known and wanted to work with for a long time.

With her music, Alvarado aims to break down stereotypes. Stereotypes about how you're supposed to be and sound as a result of your sex, especially in regard to the gender stereotypes in hip-hop – concerning what female or male rappers can and cannot rap about. People have often asked Alvarado: »Why don't you rap in a brighter, more feminine voice?« »With this EP I'd like to break down all those expectations,« Alvarado says. She encourages people to stop holding themselves back because of their sex or other people's preconceived opinions.

Karlita Alvarado originates from El Salvador, grew up in the United States and moved to Denmark at the age of 10. During a tough upbringing with many restrictions, rap music became Karla Alvarado's biggest interest, and as a teenager she went on stage as a rapper.
