Summary
79-year-old Karen LeFrak said her music has topped 60 million streams since she launched her first album in 2021 after David Foster urged his team to release her work.
Foster's backing began when he heard LeFrak play original compositions during a photoshoot at her home and told her manager to "get her music out."
LeFrak's latest album, "American Promise," was commissioned for America's 250th anniversary and includes three new works, including a title piece built around words from the Declaration of Independence.
That piece was recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road and performed by the New York Philharmonic on July 3, extending a career LeFrak said she never expected to pursue professionally.
