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.
