One of the
great anchors of youth is freedom, to live a life without
boundaries or borders, without subscribing to provincial
boxes of what should and shouldn’t be. It is what the jaded
yearn for, what the aged remember with fierce nostalgia.
That is not to say that freedom is not a life without
friction, but rather it is the opportunity of pursuing one’s
convictions without restraints. And this is the foundation
for KRISTA, a new, 21-year old singer, songwriter and
musician whose artistry is built on the rich, layered
dichotomy between struggle and expression. She has a life of
experiences that belies her age, and which she draws upon to
form her singular identity as a vibrant, emerging artist.
What she has felt in her life, you will feel in her music,
and like her background, Krista’s music brazenly defies
categorization: a combination of soaring vocals, big beats,
beautiful melodies, and street-savvy raps.
Seventeen
Magazine named Krista a break out act for 2009, and
ArtistDIRECT.com describe Krista as “razor sharp edge honed
on hard rock melodies and quick, incisive raps.
