Early life

[edit]

Karen Renee Fairchild was born on September 28, 1969, in Gary, Indiana, and lived in Griffith and Schererville for the first 13.5 years of her life.[1] She has an older sister, Kelley, and a younger brother, Kent.

Her father, Butch, is from Oneida, Tennessee, and worked in sales.[1][2] Her mother, Brenda, is from Geraldine, Alabama.[1] Her parents were high school sweethearts, and moved to Indiana for her father's work before Fairchild was born. They later moved to Marietta, Georgia, where Fairchild graduated from Lassiter High School.[3]

Fairchild met Kimberly Schlapman during their first week at Samford University on a bus to choir camp, bonding over both being from Georgia and mutual friends.[4][5] They became close friends, even after Schlapman moved to Knoxville, and continued to sing together every summer at the Methodist Conference Center in Lake Junalaska, North Carolina. Fairchild moved to Nashville in 1994 to pursue a music career.[6] After reuniting in Nashville when Schlapman also moved in 1995, the two decided to form a mixed-gender quartet in 1998.
