EVANGELIST KAREN CLARK SHEARD is an American Grammy Award–winning gospel recording artist, songwriter, and First Lady of the Church of God in Christ, best known for her powerful soprano voice and as a member of the legendary gospel group The Clark Sisters. She first rose to prominence with The Clark Sisters, who helped bring gospel music into the mainstream with hits like “You Brought the Sunshine,” and she later launched a successful solo career with albums such as Finally Karen and 2nd Chance that earned Grammy, Stellar, Soul Train, Dove, and NAACP Image nominations and awards. Her vocal style, marked by a signature multi-octave range, has influenced artists across genres. She has also co-founded "Karew Records" with her husband, helping to produce and promote gospel music through her own label. Beyond recording, she travels nationally as both a singer and evangelist, leading conferences and events that uplift and empower audiences with messages of faith, hope, and resilience. A biopic about The Clark Sisters — The Clark Sisters: First Ladies of Gospel — introduced her story to millions via television, further expanding her influence beyond the gospel music community. Evangelist Karen Clark Sheard is a national influencer because her trailblazing musical achievements, ministry leadership, and cross-genre cultural impact have shaped gospel music and inspired listeners and artists across the United States and around the world.
