Influences"I have Pat Benetar's balls, Gwen Stephanie's stylish creativity, Ed Kowalczyk's passion, Dianne Warren's pop instinct and a splash of Madonna's persistence."

What the people have to say:

1. What popular artist do I remind you of? “A young Cindy Lauper / Madonna” ~ Millie “You have some aspects of Avril, but you have a harder edge a la a 2008 version of Joan Jett (with better style). I can see some Hillary Duff, but you have more of a kick.” ~Mark

2. What style of music do I play? “ It’s not rock, it’s not R&B…Brock? Lol” ~’stine

3. What venue(s) can you envision me playing in? “Stadium (coffee house…nah…you’d blow the coffee cups up) “You’ve got a pretty glam vibe, so I think you’d shine the best in a venue that allowed for comprehensive set design. Definitely stadium.” ~Aunt Cuckoo

4. What sets me apart from other artists? “Apple bottom jeans, boots with the fur.” ~ChillyP “You’re girly, but not wimpy; you’re poppy without being cookie-cutter.” ~Vivian

5. Why would you buy my album? “Because it would make baby Jesus happy and I enjoy good music.” ~stine

6. What age group would most likely buy my album and why? “14-29 because teenie-boppers love pretty girls like you and older guys want to have you as their girlfriend” ~Armen

7. What headliner band can you see me opening up for on tour? “Kelly, Avril, Pink” ~Matt Cusson

8. Describe my music in 3 words or less. “true-fucking-art” ~minch.com

9. How much would you be willing to spend on my album? Digital download? “A million bucks-I mean $25” ~Mona

10. Does the music that you hear reflect the images that you see? “Yes and those images are hot!” ~Armen

11. What color does my music remind you of? “pink. Duh.” ~Maggie

12. If you could pick any T.V. show or movie to place my music in what would they be and why? “I don’t watch T.V. anymore, but a show like “My So Called Life.” ~Mona

Sounds Likea fresh pair of pink underwear running down your legs!

Krysta Youngs Paints Boston Pink with her Fabulous Stories

Feisty, speak-her-piece pop star Krysta Youngs is a colorful, creative and complicated character, qualities all perfectly captured on her stunning debut, Stories. Youngs, fresh out of Boston via her native Detroit, is Beantown’s answer to straight-shooting artists like Pink, Madonna, and Avril Lavigne, only without all that superstar baggage.

Escaping from the ’burbs of Detroit back in 2002, Krysta Youngs headed straight for Boston’s Berklee College of Music. It was there that she met producer Yan Perchuk, and began working on her debut. Perchuk saw potential in her MTV-savvy/Top 40-styled songs and set to work molding her eclectic compositions into a musically unified whole.

The collaboration resulted in dramatic success. Stories falls somewhere between Avril and Nellie MacKay, with equal amounts of style and substance. Krysta possesses a canny gift for storytelling, a delightful penchant for hi-octane, hugely melodic pop, and danceable grooves that just won’t quit. Her performances throughout the album are captivating. Her songs—rockin’, funky, heartfelt, and literate—often pack devastating impact.

On “Leave Me Alone,” for example, one of Stories’ pivotal tracks, Youngs wallops with a big lyric and a rock and roll roundhouse of a hook: “Leave me alone, leave me alone / Don't come any closer / I'll punch you out, knock you unconscious / Leave me alone, leave me alone / This fight won't be over till one of us is dead.” “I needed a release,” she says about the song. She got one again on the take-no-prisoners opener, “It’s Going Down,” in Youngs’ words, “a rock out, pick a fight, speed in your car kind of jam.” Krysta sings, “Well, you thought you knew me, but all my demons are coming out / I'm breaking the silence, pulling the duct tape off my mouth.” Her lapel-grabbing urgency is fresh, winning, and irresistible.

It might confuse things, or at least go against type, to know that Krysta Youngs has a fetish for the color pink, an infatuation with Top 40 stardom, and a fabulousness that just won’t quit. But it’s the yin of her straight talk and the yang of her girlie girl side that makes her completely unique, and who she most definitely is.

Frankly, you’ve got to see it to believe it.

Hello my dear friend,
today is a day to reflect on sacrifice...many have come and Died before us...many still put their lives on the line  as we speak...so that we may speak...speak freely of the Good things we enjoy...that we take for Granted...to speak of the wrong...so we may right it...we can share all our passions...for friends...for love...for the country we all should be proud that exist everyday...and hope, shall never perish from the face of this Earth...we are a beautiful people and I am Proud to be who I am and where I am...every minute and with every breathe I take...For all who have sacrificed for me...Blessings and Luv to All of you...you are the Beautiful People!
Peace
