KRISTINE SA

Combining elements of pop, electronic, dance, r&b, and her own experimental twist, Kristine Sa's music is a unique sound that defies easy classification. But no matter how her music is labeled, it is undeniably something special. Kristine stands at the forefront of an emerging Asian-American music scene. She has it all: a sweet and soulful voice, dazzling looks, undeniable stage presence, and an unshakable dedication to her art. What really sets this Toronto-based artist apart from her peers however, is that she combines these extraordinary qualities with a sincerity rarely found in young performers. With Kristine, every word comes straight from the heart and is delivered with raw passion.

Kristine's most recent efforts include her 2 newest singles 'A Dose of You' and 'Nexusbeta/Parallel Fates', which, like her previous singles, are available for free download from the Nemesis Records website (www.nemesismusic.com). Although currently hard at work in the studio finishing her forthcoming album entitled 'I Never Knew', Kristine will not be leaving her fans waiting idly for its release. Nemesis' new website incorporates several interactive features including: Kristine's regularly updated diary, A behind the scenes look at Kristine's recording process, A page devoted to her intimate poetry, a new message board, and 2 interactive picture modules. All of which, says Kristine, "Bring listeners intimately and honestly into my life".

The musical journey began for Kristine almost before she had learned to walk. From the start, her life has been deeply immersed in the entertainment world. Born into a musical family, Kristine began singing at the tender age of 3 and spent her early childhood watching her older sister, Tam Doan, rise to stardom as a singer in the Vietnamese community. She was initially content to sing quietly to herself and glowed with pride over her sister's accomplishments. However, Kristine's talents could not be repressed for long. In 1998 she decided to take her talents public and joined an all-girl singing group. The group unfortunately faltered after only a few months. Kristine's big break came when a friend introduced her to Nemesis Records CEO, Minh-Dam Pham, who signed her immediately. Since then, Kristine and the Nemesis team have grown together and developed an intimate chemistry, allowing them to push their music to where it is today.

Kristine and Nemesis Records plan to continue to experiment and grow. "I never want to stop trying new things" says Kristine. And that is exactly the mindset needed to help forge the new Asian sound here in America. One listen to the pop influenced 'A Dose of You' or the experimental spoken word song 'Nexusbeta/Parallel Fates', will prove that no matter where Kristine takes us next it will be an exciting and heartfelt ride.
