Kristen. Some people call me Ducky. Family & good friends call me Kris.
I've been singing since I was in diapers. I'm trying to teach myself to play the guitar but I've been so busy lately. I did ballet, jazz, & tap dancing for 10 years. I had a stint with kung fu for 4 months. I collect rubber duckies.
I'm a super senior at the University of California - Irvine majoring in Anthropology. But honestly, I'd rather sing, play the guitar, dance, draw, kickbox, or read a good book than go to class or work :)
I've been performing on stage for random parties, recitals, concerts, shows, etc. since I was 6 years old. Performing has always just been a fun hobby for me...but now I'm starting to think about doing something more with it.
So here I am on myspace (& youtube), putting what I love to do out there for whomever's willing to listen. I LOVE art, all forms! And I think spreading positivity by sharing your art with others is a beautiful thing. So PLEASE, if you're a singer, dancer, musician, writer, composer, artist, from-the-heart-ist....feel free to share :)
want to know more? here's some random bits...
i'm inspired by all forms of artistic expression: performance, visual, written, all of the above!
i like meeting & working with other artists. Spread the good vibes :)i like to be involved in the community. i was a board member for 2 years for Kababayan @ UCI (the fil-am club), & a sister of TAU THETA PI (true sisterhood doesn't have to compromise self :D )i was born & raised in Orange County, and we never ever called it "The OC" until that stupid show. (although i do like Adam Brody)when i grow up, i want to be Audrey Hepburn.i'm attracted to humility and modesty. i have no patience for conceit.i'm a HARRY POTTER fanatic. & hate me all you want, but i rather like Draco Malfoy.i'm a DISNEY freak. i know the lyrics to almost EVERY disney song ever made, & if you challenge me at Disney Trivia, I wlll OWN!feet are gross. but shoes are lovely.i try not to follow the crowd. but i listen to top 40 music & i like the skinny jean trend.i still believe in the ninja turtles. i wrote them a letter when i was 8 and dropped it in the sewer. they never answered...but duh, they live in NY. wrong sewer!i have EVERY single power ranger toy from the first 2 seasons. no lie.i don't drink soda because my parents brainwashed me as a child to hate carbonation. again, no lie.i can be pretty shy. actually, really shy. unless i have some drinkydrinks. then i'm not so shy :Pif i believed in past lives, i'd say i lived during the Hollywood Golden Yearsi'm a HUGE sucker for movies, music, & celebrities from that era.my pet peeve is bad grammar and spelling. especially when people mix up your/you're & their/they're/there. ick.i have unusually long thumbs. seriously! they scare people.i have an inexplicable predilection for the odd & macabre. (nightmare before christmas is one of my favorite movies!)i'm a messy eater.i'm into anime :)je parle français.i love DUCKIES!!!if you see me in my car, i most likely am singing & dancing in my seat. with lots of feeling.one of my goals in life is to speak at least 5 different languages. i'm about halfway there!i wish i was a lostboy in neverland so i'd NEVER have to grow upi've seen the movie Newsies over 100 times.i have a fear of falling, so rollercoasters with big drops = no go. my mom told me i fell off the top of a bunk bed when i was 3 or 4.i
looooove watching oldschool cartoons from the 80's & 90's.i'd forgo a party to read a book i'm really into.i don't fall in love easily. but singing to me will get you quite close :)
DISCLAIMER: All songs are covers! "Maybe I'm Amazed" is a cover of Jem's version of Paul McCartney's original, feat. Victor Kim on guitar & Ryan Conferido on Piano. "Apologize," originally sung by One Republic, is an audio rip from my youtube video with AngieGirl . "90's Dance Mix" is an audio rip from another youtube video I did with Angie Girl. "All That I Can Say," originally by Soto, was the first song I ever recorded :) Features Kris Clemente on guitar. "Eye2Eye" features Ryan again on piano & is from Disney's Goofy Movie, originally sung by Tevin Campbell. "Weak" by SWV was covered in JoJo's style (all vocals on the track are mine...took forever to record!).
