Биография

Krista Marina is an alternative pop/r&b singer and songwriter influenced by the various genres she explored growing up. Although inspired by artists like Amy Winehouse, Alicia Keys, and H.E.R., Krista has a niche, undeniably soulful style that is evident in her music. Raised in a Middle Eastern household, Krista developed an ear for dynamic vocals and appealing melodies. At age 14, she joined a band with close friends with whom she fostered her art and performed countless gigs for five years. Lead singer, keyboardist, and cajon player of the group, Krista performed at venues like the Troubadour and Viper Room. Meanwhile, at Huntington Beach High School, Krista was part of the Music Media Entertainment Technology program of the Academy for the Performing Arts, through which she cultivated her songwriting and performing skills, and discovered her interest in production. In June of 2016, Krista released her debut EP, "Bittersweet” which she wrote and co-produced. The following November, Krista collaborated with producer Arc North to create "Meant To Be," a single she both sang and co-wrote. The tune has amassed over 25 million streams on Spotify, alone. She has worked with creators like Tim Atlas and Jorg Huttner, and written for networks like CBS, while also lending her voice, writing and production to collaborations. Krista released one song a month for all of 2021, and is currently focused on the launch of her new, dreamy collaboration with Bei Ru, Diaspora Dreams.
