About Me |
|
| Bio Written by Dr. R.D.Roberts: Born in Norway, Cris Valkyria has crammed a lot of life in her few short years. Aside from traveling to the far corners of the world to gather inspiration for her life and music, she also has tried her hand at, and mastered, the martial arts, horse racing, psychology, painting, clothes design, performing arts, counseling, research, and writing. The musical manifestation of this chameleon is sure to please. Her lyrics touch both the heart and the cortex, while her voice is an intoxicating blend of Nordic and Oxford English, that is almost elven in its other worldliness. The sultry melodies are most ethereal, emotional, yet soothingly captivating. Don't miss this modern day Renaissance woman.I hope my music touches you - Cris Valkyria | |
