Karen Kosowski is a Nashville-based producer, songwriter, and mixer whose work has received multiple Grammy nominations. She builds records that feel emotionally honest, sonically intentional, and deeply rooted in the artist’s voice. Equally comfortable building tracks from scratch or leading a room full of musicians through a live session, she moves fluidly between writing, producing, and mixing, often doing all three on the same project.

​

Karen produced the majority of Mickey Guyton’s album Remember Her Name (Capitol Records Nashville), a project that marked a pivotal moment in Guyton’s career and earned three Grammy nominations, including Best Country Album. She produced the title track, which was nominated for both Best Country Solo Performance and Best Country Song. In addition to producing, she co-wrote and mixed several key tracks on the record, including “What Are You Gonna Tell Her,” which Rolling Stone called “devastating.”

​

She also produced the majority of Meghan Patrick’s album Golden Child, shaping what many critics described as the most vulnerable and defining chapter of Patrick’s career to date. Deeply personal and grounded in emotional honesty, the record marked a creative turning point and was nominated for Album of the Year at the 2025 Canadian Country Music Awards. Karen also received a CCMA nomination for Producer of the Year, following earlier Producer of the Year nominations in 2020 and 2021.

​

As a songwriter, Karen received a CCMA Songwriter of the Year nomination for Tim Hicks’ “What A Song Should Do,” a chart-topping hit in both Canada and Australia.

 

Her work spans artists and markets, from Top 10 AC radio success with Pentatonix to Gold and Platinum-certified singles for Tim Hicks, Brett Kissel, and Washboard Union, as well as a six-week number-one Australian country single for Melanie Dyer.

​

At the core of Karen’s work is feel. Whether shaping a lyric, guiding a vocal performance, or building a track from the ground up, her focus is always the same: make it honest, make it hit, and make it last.
