Krista Herring was born in San Francisco, and raised in “The OC” - a gypsy child of paradox from the beginning, and an element that finds its way into her music. This California native songbird, who has traveled the country from the East to West coast sharing her soulful prose and bittersweet melodies, now makes her home in Portland, OR, where she thrives on collaboration with the incredibly talented and diverse musical community. This diversity has found its way into her new songs, creating a powerful, captivating new sound that will be reflected in the upcoming album.
She recently worked with Patrick Tetreault and M.Keefe Rayfield to produce her first full length record, entitled "Lay it Down". This debut release features 10 songs with subjects that include love, spirituality, oppression, and self-doubt. "Lay it Down" was released in August of 2009.
Winner of "Best Female Artist of the Year 2011" at the Portland Music Awards, Krista is gaining momentum with her debut album, while working on her sophomore release, set to drop in 2012.
