Interesting Facts: Kristine Sa is a published poet [The Parting
Year, 2000]. Kristine's sister, Tam Doan is a famous recording artist
in the Vietnamese music industry. Kristine can sing in her native language
of Vietnamese as well as in English. She also plays the keyboard and composes
much of her own music.
Kristine Sa is electrifying. Both beautiful and deeply talented, this
singer/songwriter can soothe the soul as well as excite the senses.
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.
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.
