About Me
With boundless physical energy to match her exotic look and
distinctive, shimmering voice, Kristine Hendricks is a truly multi-
faceted vocalist. She has the rare talent to segue from Dance to R&B
to power ballads with ease.
Even at a very early age, Kristine remembers having a love for music.
She performed throughout her school years in chorus, gospel choirs
and stage productions which nurtured her love of diverse musical styles.
She went on to study opera at SUNY Purchase while getting her street
chops as an award-winning amateur at the Apollo Theater. Kristine
grabbed the open mic and brought her fiery performance energy to
"Live at the Apollo". She won several pre-competitions and then moved
on to compete on the TV show. Her powerful and passionate
performances won the crowd over completely. It was then that she
realized that she could bring this amazing energy to performing pop
music and she decided to persue it as a career.
Teaming-up with top producer and writer Valentin, they formed the
Dance/Pop duo QED. Well-crafted melodic hooks, complex rhythms, raw
energy and crisp, high tech production became hallmarks of QED's
music, seamlessly interweaving dance, electronic and pop genres.
Their first release "Hardly A Day" was signed in the UK by Aardvark
Records and met with enormous approval in the dance community. After
the success of their first single, they decide it was time to attack
the US market. Working with Hosh Gureli and Siren Entertainment,
their second single, "Love Bites" reacted instantly on Dance Radio
and pop stations like Kiss 108 in Boston. The song became a club and
radio anthem.
Their first album release "Mobius" was inspired and diverse, with a
range of music encompassing trance, pop, rock ... and even a bit of
opera sprinkled in. The third single off the album , "Islands" got
the attention of Neutone Records here in the US. The song became
their first Billboard hit, landing at ..6 on the Dance Radio Airplay
chart.
Now Kristine steps out on her own with her first solo single, a cover
of the Jets classic, "You Got It All" (Next Plateau). Produced by
Valentin, this record is poised to take radio by storm , and catapult
Kristine to a new level, where this gifted vocalist and performer
will surely find fans the world over.
