Kari Johnson, better known by her stage name Kari Faux, is a young up-and-coming femcee (Female emcee) from Little Rock, Arkansas. But she isn't just like any other female emcee from her small hometown. She's not your typical girl who uses clothes, money, and being attractive as her primary focus of subject matter. If asked, she'd probably describe her music as "music for tomboys". Because of her unique voice and subject matter she's beginning to carve her own lane in a music world where cookie-cutter type music is common. She also produces and dabbles in photography and videography, trades she learned while attending Art Institute in Atlanta, Georgia. After facing the fustrations dealing with her school and the poor quality of education she was getting, she packed her bags and moved back home to Arkansas. Shortly after returning home she decided to make music of her own. She released her song "Fauxty Miles Per Hour" and things steadily took off from there. After releasing a remix for the song and an acompanying viral music video Kari Faux began to make waves amongst the music scene of her hometown. She later released a mixtape "Fact Or Faux" in January of 2012. After releasing her tape she went on to do over 20 shows including opening up for rising underground artists such as: Neako, G-Eazy, Mod Sun, EKG and SL Jones. Recently Kari Faux has released a second project "Sophisticated Ratchetness"
and also released 4 music videos to accompany it. After her second release she recieved more attention from blogs and also recieved notable coverage in the Arkansas Times. Currently Kari Faux is continuing to work on her craft and is working on a slew of mixtapes an album scheduled to drop in the 1st quarter of 2013.
