September 26, 2024: Karen Dió is back and she’s making her voice loud and clear. The rising punk star is back with an unignorable new track, 3am. This fierce track captures the raw angst and unfiltered spirit that has made Dió a trailblazer in the punk scene. Dió’s song is an ulta-relatable one, channeling the frustrations and rebellious spirit of a working generation. The song comes on the heels of another career-defining highlight for Dió, the opening slot for one of Sum 41’s upcoming (and final) shows. The Hopeless Records rising star is known to pack a punch of pure angst and embodies the punk spirit of the most iconic women who built the scene like Joan Jett, and Veruca Salt. Dió’s raucous, DIY punk anthems have commanded attention across seas all the way from her birthplace of Brazil, where she first laid the foundation for her bustling career. Now, Dió has found global appeal in her music, and is representing Brazilian rock music in a big way. Her unique sound has caught the attention of Sum 41, Fred Durst, Kenny Hoopla, and more.
Karen Dió shares:
"51 seconds of getting shit done! Everybody's gotta work, right?"

ABOUT KAREN DIÓ:
Nothing is permanent, and no one knows that better than Karen Dió.
“I have to be so unattached to friends, things, and objects,” Dió admits, after moving numerous times growing up and whilst starting her music career. The Brazilian punk rocker on the rise has always lived with transient energy, but especially lately, as she adjusts to the ebb and flow of life after having her July 2023 single “Sick Ride” go wildly viral.
“Sick Ride” is a little bit outside what I normally do,” Dió admits. It was quite out of my world and I really didn't know what it was going to be. When I saw all the great feedback and millions and millions of people watching and playing the songs and stuff…it’s just crazy.”
Crazy might even be an understatement she admits, after catching the attention of some of her all-time favorite artists like Sum 41, Incubus, Kenny Hoopla, and even… Fred Durst. An eclectic list, yes, but a testament to the mass appeal Dió has conjured up with her music magic.
And so with the support of a few famous friends, her new label (Hopeless Records), and high praise from the likes of Kerrang!, Dió is proudly bringing the brimming punk rock scene in Brazil to the world. Representing her Latin roots is, perhaps, the most important part of her artistry. “If I can open that door for Latin American artists, then I’ve accomplished my goal,” she says.
