Los Angeles native Krissi Moses (now sharing compilation space at Virgin Megastores with Counting Crows, and adjusting to her sudden local fame in the LA rock scene) wrote her first song at 16 at the encouragement of “Slappy” (bassist of The Ziggens – a band credited with influencing the likes of LA legends Sublime and others). Saturday Night Magazine thinks “Slappy” is a pretty smart guy. The high-circulation college party rag recently selected Krissi from a gaggle of high-power, upcoming talent (including several new RCA, Geffen and Interscope installments) for their 5th annual Saturday Night Loud album (a series featuring many freshman acts gone global over the years, including breakout phenomenon Feist last year). Did we mention Krissi is also incredibly good-looking? Check out her hot pic on page 47 of Saturday Night’s May issue.
Originally courted by Columbia as a solo act, Krissi flouted the advice of her friends and family (a mere nine months ago), electing instead to assemble a band from scratch and work out her signature sound gigging live. It worked. Continuing to write, record, gig and explore new genres and sounds, Krissi’s newest material is a fresh blend of rock, pop, reggae, punk and funk, best characterized by her compilation track, You’re Forgettable (based wryly on her true-life first heartbreak – he’s kickin’ himself now). Currently completing her debut album in studio in Los Angeles, Krissi is repped by Davis Shapiro Lewit & Hayes.
