Kriss-O
Biography
The Big Bang Theory: In a moment of extreme heat and volatility, all the cosmos aligned perfectly to create an explosion. Fragments of this explosion landed in space, and one in particular entered into unfertilized ground near, but not on Uranus. From this fragment life was than given to it. Nine months later on December 20th 1980 a star was born.
Debuting her single EMPTINESS, Kriss-O is a star on the rise. Kriss-O is a multifaceted performer, she sings, dances, acts, models and writes lyrics for music, short stories, and short movies. Her talents are of meteoric proportions.
"EMPTINESS was inspired by a relationship that I had shared with someone in which we both tormented each other." -Kriss-O
Kriss-O conceptualized the song, wrote it and performed all the vocals, then handed it over to Skitz who produced all the music. While working together they amalgamated their ideas to what now is an unexpectedly powerful, thought provoking, emotional, and fun -to-sing -along –and-dance to hit.
When asked about what she wanted people to think about the song Kriss-O responded "I hope most people can't relate to this song, but the reality is most of us can. It's kind of about love tug-of-war. I really hope to evoke emotion; the essence of being human is our feelings, and memories. I would like to leave the final interpretation to the individual listener." With a title like EMPTINESS, it is not a surprise that many eyebrows have been raised. The song portrays a person who seems vulnerable, needy, and yet sexually confident, and articulate, with lyrics like 'when I reach for you, needing, you, begging on my knees I'm pleading you to be near to me, look into my eyes and undress me.' . Kriss-O seems to sum it up by saying " Everyone needs to feel full of love and adoration, and when we expect that from certain people in our lives, and do not receive it, there is lack, or emptiness," .
EMPTINESS may be the title of her debut single, but this young woman's life is anything but empty. With an entire album on its way, while constantly working on film, music and television you can bet her life is full!
