"...razor sharp edge honed on hard rock melodies and quick, incisive raps. She can carry a chorus to the sky and back, but she can also spit fiery rhymes that could rattle the hood to its very core." - ArtistDIRECT.com

(November 17th 2008 Brooklyn, NY) J Records artist to watch Krista will be joining the mega-popular Shwayze on her first ever national tour. The tour, which kicked off November 7th in New York, will take Krista from the East to the West coast and will then end in Cleveland, Ohio on December 22nd.

Krista melds the aggressive, melodic, and powerful elements of rock and pop with the rap she was so influenced by growing up in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Her upcoming debut album, Taking Back Brooklyn, is a catharsis that is sure to touch anyone who has experienced pain, frustration, triumph and redemption.

Krista is already creating major buzz. Fresh off this year's Lollapalooza and Bamboozle festivals and an appearance at the high profile X Games, Krista is poised to become a multi-genre success and a strong spokeswoman for anyone who has struggled and persevered.

The Background:

Recently signed to J Records by the legendary Clive Davis, Krista has come a long way from her troubled past. Growing up in Sunset Park section of Brooklyn, Krista used her hard-knock experiences to fuel the fire of her passion for music, which materializes in rough and tumble rap and soulful, inspired vocals. Her unique blend of musical talents sets her apart from today's pop divas and drama queens. In her upcoming debut album Taking Back Brooklyn, Krista battles the demons of her past and looks forward to her future. She says of the album, "It's about taking it back to where I'm from - the whole collage of living in Brooklyn," she explains. "But it's also about what art and writing and music means to me. How I want to take back from my life what has been taken from me. Music was emotional therapy for me, it IS emotional therapy for me." Taking Back Brooklyn will be released in early 2009 on J Records / Vel Records.
