They say experience begets wisdom. If that’s true then at 23 years young, Krislyn Rivera is wise beyond her years. Her experiences have become the paint for her canvas & she has the emotional scars to prove it. Creating beautiful art in the form of Pop/Rock songs, reminiscent of some of your favorite female artists in the genre.

The singer, songwriter, and musician, also known as, Krissy was

born in California, raised in Brooklyn, but found her voice in church. The star of the youth choir flexed her vocal muscle, and along with a strong musical influence from her Father, she was able to steer clear of the streets in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn known as “Darkside”. Krissy’s Father taught the young songstress how to play the guitar, and later on she taught herself to play piano, by following the same chord progressions by ear.

After she decided it was time to separate from the church and her first love, the choir, Krissy took her talents to the Karaoke circuit, where she was a known regular, and a well received entertainer. Winning numerous competitions and cash prizes, Karaoke-Krissy’s biggest windfall however would be in the form of a chance meeting with music industry manager/producer, Dennis Wynn.

Dennis took an immediate liking to the young singer and decided to take her under his wing. After taking her to the studio for her first time ever, he was blown away by how fast she got accustomed to writing, recording, and playing music. “She was a natural”, said Dennis “sounding good live during a performance is important, but when you’re also able to make a song sound great after one or two takes and feel comfortable in the studio, that means you’ve got the whole package.”

Besides an amazing voice, and ridiculous musical talent, Krissy’s character and charisma shines brighter than any marquee that will one day bear her name. And while experiences may have brought her this far, the road ahead will only give her more experiences, more wisdom, along with all her fulfilled dreams. Life is in session, pay attention.
