She describes the band as “a theatrical, symphonic Goth metal band” and sings songs associated with male vocalists in the Evil Twin band. Some of the singers include Iron Maiden, Korn, Metallica, Iron Maiden, and Anthrax.

She also performs individual shows locally. In an interview, she explained her 5-step audition as:

"Then there’s a lot of waiting. When those auditions ended they told me ‘Look out for an email, we’re not sure where you’ll go yet.’ Turned out to be Las Vegas. That was nice appearnace."

She complained that she was unable to see Las Vegas during the shoot day. Moreover, Karma did not disclose which song she performed on the day of the audition, but based on her previous performances, it must have been something "rocky."
