    Artist History
    Kristina Austin is a native of South Lyon, Michigan. Kristina cut her vocal "teeth" on her father’s 60s and 70s era vinyl recordings of Linda Ronstadt and The Eagles, Janis Joplin, The Rolling Stones, Jefferson Airplane and The Byrds. She has appeared on TNN's "Be A Star," as a guest personality with numerous area FM and AM radio stations and at Detroit’s State Theatre, the Motor City Musicfest at Hart Plaza, Toledo’s Rock, Rhythm and Blues Festival, the Michigan State Fair, the Ypsilanti Heritage Festival, Opryland Hotel, Nashville Palace, Fontainebleau Hilton Hotel Miami Beach, and the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., and most recently returned from a three and one-half month tour of South Korea, performing for U.S. Army troops there. For several years, Kristina toured as a "Young Country" artist, combining upbeat rural music with pop undertones. In 1991, she was Hilton Hotels’ Star Search Female Vocalist Champion. In 1997, she had a song released on an independent label which went to #18 on the Top 100 Europe Country Variety Airplay Chart and another that reached the Top Forty on Country Music's Life - Radio Waves International Top 50 Country Music Playlist. In 1998, Kristina returned to her musical roots in pop and rock, realizing that her songwriting efforts were becoming confined under the term "country."

    Press Reviews
    "We are a Gavin reporting station and do not play a lot of independent product, but Kristina Austin has major label talent ... exceptional ... her vocals and delivery are wonderful." - FM Radio Music Director in Texas ***"Just got your CD. Wow that was fast! I put it on the old Kenwood and gave the volume a crank. Now that's some clean, straight-punchin' rock and roll! You and your band have a great sound!" - John Chanik, Renton, Washington *** "Michigan's Kristina Austin is a singer-songwriter who delivers cheery folk-rock with catchy choruses and occasionally big guitars. An obvious love of the sisters Wilson sees her prowling about as a 'Devil in Disguise.'" - Jon P., Listen.com
