Kara Leona Bass (born May 11, 1992) is an American singer, model and social media personality. She became known for her appearance on the reality series 90 Day Fiancé. In 2023 she began a music career.
Career
2022–2023: 90 Day Fiancé and music debut
Prior to her singing career, Kara became known for her appearance in TLC's reality television series 90 Day Fiancé alongside her husband Guillermo Rojer, during season 9 in April 2022.[1] The series follows couples who have applied for or received a K-1 visa, which allows foreign fiancées of U.S. citizens to enter the United States with the requirement to marry within 90 days. The series documented Kara and Guillermo throughout their K-1 visa process.
In 2023, she began her music career with her debut song "On My Own". The song belongs to the bachata genre, which is a Latin music genre, and is described by Kara as a kind of breakup song.[2] In the video clip of the song, Kara appears with her husband Guillermo Rojer pretending to breakup.[3] That same year she released her second song "Magic Is Here".
2024–present: Subsequent songs
In 2024, Kara released the song "YDKM", which stands for "You Don't Know Me", which aims to send a clear message to online haters.[4] Kara says the song is meant to be "uplifting" to combat the hate she receives online from strangers on the Internet.[5] On August 16, 2024, Kara released her fourth single "Save Me".
Kara's foray into Latin music has profiled her as one of the most promising foreign voices in the genre, and with only two years in the music business, she has positioned herself as an emerging voice in bachata.[6] In 2025, she released the single "Lento" in collaboration with music producer DJ Husky,[6] which was followed by the single "El Reloj" in collaboration with Polish music artist DJ Cat, and the single "Buenos Aires" in collaboration with Italian DJ and producer Guido Londino. These songs were performed in Spanish.
Personal life
Kara began dating Venezuelan Guillermo Rojer after they met in the Dominican Republic in 2020. They were engaged within a few months and married on July 23, 2021, in Albemarle County, Virginia.[7] Their son was born on December 3, 2022.[8] In 2024, rumors broke out that the couple might have divorced.[9]
