“I believe in the healing power of music.”

Do you know in your heart that music can bring healing to suffering?

You are right.

Music connects us to powerful frequencies which can lift us up to our higher selves.

I’m a singer-songwriter, producer, engineer and music teacher.

I have dedicated my life to producing, performing, and releasing healing music, for myself and all who are called to listen.

About Krysti

TEACHER

Krysti is a passionate music teacher of all ages. She made it through the Pandemic of 2020, giving her virtual students opportunities to perform virtually. She holds a Voice Styles certificate from Berklee College of Music, and her students have great things to say, whether they are rock singers or into musical theater and pop. She teaches voice, guitar, piano, ukulele, clarinet, and songwriting.

Krysti's first music teaching gig was in a Montessori preschool in Austin, Texas.  She went on to co-direct a Christian children's choir with singer/songwriter and author Hilary Kuhlmey to open at Austin Music Awards in 2017. Krysti later apprenticed with Neal Kasanoff at the Groundwork Music Project, where she learned how to bring ukulele and singing into classroom music programs. She formalized her vocal training by completing the Contemporary Vocal Stylist Certification from Berklee College of Music. From there, she ramped up her private voice lessons and began refining her own teaching methods by creating books and interactive tools for her students to learn with.

After becoming a parent, Krysti discovered Music Together® and was amazed by how quickly her own baby developed musical skills through playful group music experiences. Inspired by that transformation, she founded Children of Music in Louisiana so families could experience the joy and benefits of early childhood music learning together.

Krysti especially enjoys working with homeschool families and students with special needs, adapting lessons so each student can learn at their own pace, build confidence, and experience success through music.

PERFORMER

Krysti is an independent singer/songwriter and live music performer.

Krysti grew up playing instruments. She taught herself piano as a young child using her father’s piano method books, and later joined middle school band on clarinet. She was a founding band member in Coral Glades High School when it began in 2004. Krysti was a competitive clarinetist, earning first chair at Florida’s All State Synphonic Band. She also started a Clarinet Choir, where she arranged sheet music to play with her 4-piece woodwind ensemble. She became Woodwind Captain in the Coral Glades Marching Band, winning 1st place at the State Competition in her 2008 senior year. Krysti was honored to be selected to perform in Disney’s Magic Music Days classical symphony in Orlando, Florida.

During college, she taught herself guitar and began singing and playing pop and rock songs with friends. She also began taking private singing lessons.

After graduation, she met James Gibson and became inspired to put her songs out there for everyone to hear. She recorded, produced, and released 24 original songs with James Gibson as her mentor and mixing engineer throughout the process. She worked full-time engineering jobs to self-fund the production of those two albums. Angelgrams was a song-a-week challenge which resulted in writing, recording, and releasing 12 songs in 12 weeks with her mentor James Gibson. Throughout the project, she collaborated with other indie artists including Hilary Kuhlmey, Mei-Lan Mauritz, Zakk Myer, and Dj FR3DA.

Krysti started out playing and singing her songs at family gatherings. She found success playing out at small venues and hotels around Florida. Since then, she has toured her original songs from coast to coast with Hilary Kuhlmey and Abuzayed the Free in Unitour 2017 and internationally in South America and New Zealand.

She became a band leader performing live in Austin, Texas at venues like Moody Theater, Gotham Room, Stay Gold, and Irie Bean, to name a few. She loves performing in costumes because it’s fun. Her live band is called Krysti and the Spirit Animals, representing her love for wildlife, and what animals represent symbolically to people. Her goal is to inspire others to make music to uplift their spirit. She has expanded to the New Orleans area, and now performs live in Houma, Louisiana.

COMMUNITY WORK

After releasing her albums she poured time into community work through her church. Most notably, she coordinated a benefit concert sharing the stage with fellow musician Jackie Venson, along with an appearance on Fox 7 News to raise funds for African refugee children who loved singing. With the funds, she put on a Music and Art summer camp for the kids (ages 5-18) and distributed instruments to all the children. She went on to direct that group of kids to open at Austin Music Awards in 2017. She continued her community works by performing in nursing homes and giving private voice lessons to stroke patients to complement their physical therapy. She served as a Board Member for Groundwork Music, a non-profit organization in Texas that gives ukulele lessons to low-income students, regardless of means.
