NJ-Born Krista began singing before she could speak.
Growing up in a family with a rich musical background, she found inspiration
in her singing and writing, as well as playing the flute and piano.
She did a lot of writing and recording through high school and in college,
where she also loved being part of the Gospel Choir.
Krista recorded her first single, "Let Me Be Your Angel," in 2004. The
opportunity came while she was working at Atlantic Records. The Henry
Street Music Inc release is a cover of Narada Michael Walden's production
originally sung by Stacy Lattisaw. Krista's up tempo version is produced by
Mike Rizzo and Josh Harris and includes mixes by Johnick, E-Smoove, DJ
Manolo, Boris & Beck, Ford and others. "Let Me Be Your Angel" is a Top 20 Single on the Billboard Dance Club Play Chart.
Krista later recorded a more down tempo R&B smooth jazz type of song called,
"Crazy" which she wrote and co-produced with Shai Navon of Honestnotes and
Ofir Kaner. "Crazy is one of my favorite songs," Krista said, "It really is
a very me-type of track."
Krista linked up with Davidson Ospina and wrote and recorded a demo called
"Don't Stop Dancing" which was featured on the Thrive Mix CD mixed by Mike Rizzo and St. John and currently is available digitally through Ospina Digital.
She also recorded vocals for an underground dance track called "Black Tide"
which was produced by the progressive dance duo Shiloh and Jolen Essex.
Krista got together with Josh Harris to record "Weakness of the Body." It's an up tempo song originally recorded by Judy Torres on
her debut LP. "I love freestyle so I really wanted to do a track that was
sort of like a tribute to it. Josh did such a great job keeping an 80's
vibe in one of his mixes."
She recently finished writing and recording an electronic club banger with Lenny Fontana called "Prove Me Wrong" which has been signed overseas.
Currently, Krista co-wrote and recorded a funky house groove called "Rebound" with the French duo Thomas Deschamps and Didier Limonet, a.k.a. Nassau which will be out on Mutated Music this Fall.
Krista and Kenny Dope are in the studio now. They are finishing up their
song and hope to have it out soon.
In the meantime, she continues to write and sing, most recently having worked with Johnny D and Nicky P to lend vocals to a few Johnick tracks.
Most of Krista's music on her new label, Jerzee Freez Music, etc is available now digitally from iTunes, amazon.com, and other online outlets.
