“This song brings so much life into everything,” says one online viewer.

Karolina was born in Ukraine in 2008. When she was was 6 years old, her musical family moved to the United States, where she began violin lessons. Her father is a guitarist, and by the looks of her YouTube channel, her younger siblings have musical aspirations too!

She says she dreams of traveling the world, playing concerts, and making people happy with her music. What a wonderful thing, and all the best wishes to her and her whole family, living this musical dream!
