Together with Glenmarks in 1973 with the song En liten sång som alla andra (finished 5th), I annorlunda land (8th) 1974, and Lady Antoinette (6th place) 1975. In 1983 she took part alone with the song Se (3rd place), and in 1984 together with the brother Anders, with the song Kall som is (4th place). The following year, Karin and Anders took the Gemini name, as suggested by Björn Ulvaeus of ABBA (who, together with Benny Andersson, co-produced Gemini's two albums). The 1996 release was produced by Michael Saxell who also composed all the songs. Swedish poet Jacques Werup wrote the lyrics.

Karin has three children: Lisa, Nils and Anton. Nils Tull is active in the music industry, singing in the band Hoffmaestro.

Singles
gollark: We have exciting TV like "BBC Parliament".
gollark: Analog TV got shut down here ages ago.
gollark: So I guess if you consider license costs our terrestrial TV is *not* free and costs a bit more than Netflix and stuff. Oops.
gollark: - it funds the BBC, but you have to pay it if you watch *any* live TV, or watch BBC content online- it's per property, not per person, so if you have a license, and go somewhere without a license, and watch TV on some of your stuff, you are breaking the law (unless your thing is running entirely on battery power and not mains-connected?)- it costs about twice as much as online subscription service things- there are still black and white licenses which cost a third of the priceBut the enforcement of it is even weirder than that:- there are "TV detector vans". The BBC refuses to explain how they actually work in much detail. With modern TVs I don't think this is actually possible, and they probably can't detect iPlayer use, unless you're stupid enough to sign up with your postcode (they started requiring accounts some years ago).- enforcement is apparently done by some organization with almost no actual legal power (they can visit you and complain, but not *do* anything without a search warrant, which is hard to get)- so they make up for it by sending threatening and misleading letters to try and get people to pay money
gollark: Hold on, I wrote a summary ages ago.
