Karl Wolf is a Lebanese-born Canadian musician based in Montreal, Quebec.

His third album, NIGHTLIFE, was released on November 17, 2009. In March 2010, he signed a new recording contract in the United States with Universal Republic followed by a worldwide deal with Universal Music Canada in 2011. This came at no surprise, as Karl’s international hit single “Africa” sold over 700,000 units worldwide, received over 10,000,000 hits on YouTube and spent eight weeks at #2 on the Billboard singles chart. “Africa” also gained triple-platinum status in Canada, reached #1 on iTunes, #1 on AC Radio, #1 on Hot AC Radio and won an 2008 MTV Europe Music Award. Karl has followed up this success by releasing chart-topping singles such as “Carrera,” “Yalla Habibi” and his latest, “Ghetto Love,” which features Canada’s own Kardinal Offishall. This single continues to enjoy worldwide success proving Karl Wolf as a household name time and time again. Karl’s highly anticipated album FINALLY FREE is set to hit the shelves early 2012.
