Karen David is a multi-hyphenate talent - actress and singer/songwriter - who has found equal diversity in her film, television, stage, and recording career. Born in Shillong, India, in the foothills of the Himalayas; raised in Toronto; and the daughter of a half-Chinese, half- Khasi mother and an Indian father, David discovered her love of performing at a young age. At 17 she won a scholarship to Berklee College of Music in Boston, where she studied jazz and gospel. It was there she discovered a flair for songwriting and the desire to pursue her love for drama, which led her to study at the Guildford School of Acting in London. Her first professional acting role came shortly after graduation in the original stage cast of the London West End musical Mamma Mia! David can currently be seen as a series regular in the AMC Network show, "Fear The Walking Dead" as Grace, where her recent, poignant, storylines have garnered critical appraise and a beloved international fandom. She is also recurring on HBO's "Barry" alongside creator, Bill Hader, and in the CW series "Legacies" from executive producers, Julie Plec and Brett Matthews. She has also had recurring roles on on the ABC series, "The Rookie" CBS' long-running drama"Criminal Minds", as well as major arcs on YouTube's "Ryan Hansen Solves Crimes on Television" and ITV's "Cold Feet", and as Princess Jasmine on ABC's "Once Upon a Time." Best known to US audiences for her breakout role as Princess Isabella Maria Lucia Elizabetta of Valencia in ABC's "Galavant", David showcased both of her passions - acting and singing - in the musical fantasy series. Created by Dan Fogelman (This Is Us), the cult hit featured music by the award-winning composer, Alan Menken. She got her start in television in the UK on BBC's BAFTA nominated, "Waterloo Road" and the BBC's comedy series "Pixelface", produced by comedian, Graham Norton's company, So Television. From there she landed roles on MTV's "Top Buzzer" playing opposite the likes of Stephen Graham and Daniel Mays, and on Cinemax's action thriller, "Strike Back", and guest-starring roles on ABC's "Castle", FOX's "Touch" alongside Kiefer Sutherland, and NBC's "Timeless." Karen has also been very busy in the animation world, lending her vocal and musical talents in heavily recurring roles on Disney's hit series, "Mira: Royal Detective". She can also be seen guest starring on the new, HBO Max animation, "The Prince", created by Gary Janetti, Netflix's "Captain Fall" and AMC's upcoming animated series, "Pantheon." David's film career began with a supporting role in the UK cult hit, "Bollywood Queen", opposite James McAvoy. This led to co-starring roles in Christopher Nolan's "Batman Begins", the Vince Vaughan comedy, "Couples Retreat", and Millennium Film's drama, "Red Lights", starring Sigourney Weaver and Robert De Niro. David has had starring roles in the heartwarming independent comedy, "The Tiger Hunter" opposite Danny Pudi, Universal Pictures' "The Scorpion King: Rise of a Warrior", and the acclaimed Netflix British comedy romance, "Amar Akbar & Tony." More recently she portrayed a tough FBI agent in the blockbuster, "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit". On the musical front, David is continually refining her passion for writing and recording "feel- good indie-girl pop with a twist" in between filming. In the wake of her hit 2003 single, It's Me (You're Talking To), which became a Top Ten hit in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland, as well as BMG's fourth highest airplay hit for a debut artist, she released her first two EPs, The Live Sessions EP (2008) and Magic Carpet Ride (2009), followed by the 2010 single Hypnotize and three mixes.
