Karina Bailey is an Australian opera singer and writer. Starting out with a passion for writing in her early years, the short stories and co-written adventure sagas of her childhood moved onto song-writing and eventually, Karina followed her passion for music by pursuing a career in opera. Through her work both on and offstage in Australia and Europe over the past decade, she has come to think of herself as, above all things, a storyteller. Karina has written two novels and is currently living in Linz, Austria.
