“the white girl who has soul.” –That’s a good place to start when describing singer/songwriter Krissy Krissy. The 23-year-old singer, songwriter, and musician, is a spark of light for the Pop/Rock genre. Born in California, raised in Brooklyn, her bohemian east village style is subtle, fly, and relatable.

Debuting in the TOP 10 at Clear Channels I Heart Radio. The popularity of her debut video for “Dream” landed it a featured spot on MTV.com, and it has over 16,000 hits on YouTube.

There’s nothin impossible.”

W5H Media said it best, “It has been a long time since I heard a good pop rock song. The 90's had a good share of artists that represented and gave the genre a well-deserved spot. But since then, only a hand full of individuals have managed to make an impact on the music industry. It’s said that talent sometimes skips generations and that just might be the case.
