Kari Berg is a Swedish singer-songwriter, actress, model and author. She was born in Östersund, Jämtland in Sweden. She was the female singer of Ashbury Heights and is now part of the EBM-band Chaos All Stars and doing a solo career. She has starred in a film and has modelled for designers in several genres.
Kari currently lives in Umeå, Sweden.
During the years Kari has been published for example in Kamera & Bild, Skin Two, QLTR and Göteborgsposten, worked with designers like Atsuko Kudo and Naucler Design, appeared in advertisement for Mariart & Sveriges Frisörföretagare and done runway shows at Umeå Fashion Week and STHLM Fashion Market.
Kari was called The Chameleon by a photographer after seeing how many different looks she had when modelling and this is now her trademark. She was the main character in Thomas Di Leva music video Öppnar mitt hjärta and has also participated in an Elegant Machinery music video.
Kari is currently represented by the Swedish agencies Nocturnal Agency and Stockholmsgruppen Models.
Kari started out her entertainment career as an actress, with around 7 years in theatre school. This later went into modelling and she stopped acting in theatre and films for several years. In the end of 2011 she announced that she was to star in a movie, but that she was going to tell more about that later.
Kari took a step out in the music business in the later part of 2008 when she joined as the female vocalist of the synth-pop duo Ashbury Heights. And in late 2010 she joined the EBM-band Chaos All Stars.
She has played on bigger stages like M'era Luna Festival, Amphi Festival and Gothic Festival Waregem (now Shadowplay Festival). She was the female part of the duo Ashbury Heights from 2008 until the band disbanded due to the other half of the bands argument with the label.
Kari is a mezzo-soprano.
Kari joined Ashbury Heights as the new female vocalist in the later part of 2008 and got a lot of attention from the press. Many were curious about her voice since she hadn’t released anything earlier, but also since she was already a known model in the alternative world. After playing at Gothic Festival Waregem (now Shadowplay Festival) they got very good reviews and the worries about the change in the line-up decreased. The band continued getting good reviews after life gigs and also being praised for their album Take Cair Paramour which was released in 2010. In the end of 2010 the band disbanded after a long fight between the label and the male vocalist of the band, this went public with a letter from the male vocalist to the press.
