"...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
The topics of divorce and abuse are very painful, and often personal topics. Krista invites us into her world with the deeply intimate pleas of "Please Don't Go." In this webisode, we watch as dreams come true for Krista, though the pain still lingers despite the time passed. With an in-depth look into the creative process of a track, we watch the producer in action, as well as the orchestration of the track as it comes together. We see that Krista is a real human, and despite a newly signed record deal and a beautiful voice, her life is far from charmed and she faces the same trials and hardships that almost everyone must someday face.

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.
