A former student at Coleytown Middle School and Staples High School, both in Westport, Connecticut, he left school as a senior to pursue music. Karp had a professional career that stretched nearly 50 years. Karp recorded with R&B legend Buddy Miles when Karp was a teenager, but In 1972, Karp left Miles to form his own band, White Chocolate. The group was signed by RCA Records. In 1975, Karp signed to Seymour Stein's Sire Records and released a single called "Rock & Roll Love Letter," which was later covered by the Bay City Rollers. The band eventually morphed into the Dirty Angels, which, in 1979, toured with Aerosmith on the Double Live Bootleg Tour. His long path through the music industry also included writing songs for the likes of Joan Jett and Joe Perry of Aerosmith, performing in bands and producing music for documentaries, sporting events and feature films.
