Krisirie

Krisirie's artistry gracefully embraces R&B, hip-hop, reggae, and jazz - the music that heavily influenced her while growing up in Barbados. She counts influences as varied as, Beres Hammond, Sade, Ella Fitzgerald, and Norah Jones. As early as age four, she was certain of her destiny in music, and by 16, she was accepted at the Barbados Community College where she graduated in 2014 with an Associates degree in music. Formally studying music profoundly shaped her as an artist. Some highlights in her resume include performing with legendary jazz trumpeter Marcus Belgrave, modern reggae icon Willie Stewart from Third World, touring with modern jazz crossover pioneer Arturo Tappin & Band and opening for Jamaican artiste, Keznamdi on tour. Krisirie's energetic signature is felt as she writes with sage wisdom about relationships and empowerment, her lyrics are poetic and her messages are universal. Throughout it all, the ocean is her muse and ever an artful metaphor, with her pure aspiration simply being to inspire and impact positively.
