Biography

Karise Eden returns with brand new single, ‘Gone’. The track is a further taste of her forthcoming EP, a following up to last year’s heart-wrenching release, ‘My Old Friend’. Karise tells the story behind the creation of the song: “This song was gifted to me by one of the most inspirational women I’ve met in a while… Stef Duzel, Publican of the Macedon Railway Hotel in Victoria. One in a million. A true songstress and songwriter. “I’m playing a gig at the pub. She takes me to a room at the back with this bed, guitar, and amps. We’re talking, laughing our heads off - music, life, kids, exes, her pub, you name it! “She tuned her instruments up, while telling me her story, telling me about how she’d written this song, that she envisioned someone like me singing. Then she starts playing her guitar and out bellowed this voice like no other. The kind of voice you only hear from a life that's been lived, a life that's loved, been loved and a life that's been broken more times before. When she began singing, the walls I have to hold everything inside, broke. “She apologised for making me so emotional. I told her to keep singing. Every lyric that poured out of her spoke so deeply to me. I said I would absolutely love to sing this song and we worked at it, in a heartbeat. And so ‘Gone’ came to be.” ‘Gone’ - Written by Stefanie Mott-Duzel and Karise Eden. Recorded, mixed and mastered by James North.
