Destined Star Krisīyah Sings, ‘Big Up Yuhself’

17 year-old Krisīyah is one South Florida’s newest emerging artist taking the music industry by storm. She comes as a triple threat, with singing, songwriting, and dancing as her dominant talents. Her roots stem from the island of Jamaica, with a mix of Indian, Chinese and African decent and cultures of Hindu, Muslim, Christian and Rastafarian influences. 

Just as her background stems from her family heritage, her musical roots do as well; Krisīyah’s Grandfather and Great Uncle were two renown music artists from Kingston Jamaica, signed to RCA Records, who founded a 90’s German electronic music group with chart topping hits in both Europe and Canada. 

Her parents also have had their stamp in the music industry, with her father, a recording artist in his own right, collaborating on projects with multi-platinum recording artists such as Lil Jon and Rick Ross; and her mother in the area of music business management. Krisīyah has always been destined to be a star; starting from the age of 3 years old, performing on dance and musical theater stages. By 12 years of age, she began developing her vocals and songwriting skills as a solo artist. 

She has gained professional experience as a performer from talent and creative arts agencies such as, Inside Out Theater, Showstopper Studios and The Music and Arts Healing Institute. Krisīyah’s urban exotic sound and style blend genres that highlight her ethnicity. She has an appreciation for the uniqueness of various cultures that diversify the world and reflects the same unique diversity through her music and lyrics.

 “My goal as an artist is to spread love, good energy and connect and inspire my generation to be the best version of themselves through my music.” – Krisīyah.
