Music creative Larry Karpenko brings fresh energy and emotional depth to every project he touches. Drawing from his faith background and years spent in worship settings, Larry brings a thoughtful, authentic voice to his songwriting. A longtime member of the Gospel Music Association, he continues to expand his artistic reach as he steps into new, personal spaces with his music.
Larry studied under renowned songwriting professor Pat Pattison, adopting tools and techniques that continue to shape his lyrical craft. He also trained with Tom Jackson, learning how transformative live performance can be for audiences of all ages. His catalog includes three full‑length projects—most recently Beautiful Together, written largely at a playground and brought to life with industry standouts such as bassist Gary Lunn and mix engineer J.R. McNeely. Larry’s diverse body of work includes seven songs in the CCLI licensing database, compositions for weddings, orchestra, brass, and solo cello, and an ongoing passion for collaboration and publishing.
In 2026, Larry expands his creative footprint with multiple new releases: the children’s worship album Child of God, the youth‑focused worship project Light Up the World, and the heartfelt single Love’s Color, arriving on the same day as the 2026 World Olympics Opening Ceremony. These projects reflect Larry’s commitment to crafting music that inspires faith, strengthens families, and brings people together through the beauty and truth of Christ‑centered creativity.
