Karin received her first music lessons from her mother Lyl Tiempo in Caracas, Venezuela. She made her public debut at the age of five and recorded her first album at thirteen. She continued her training with Maria Curcio and Pierre Sancan and also benefited from regular advice by the some of best pianists in the world.
