Sunn Rise:

Kristine Sunn...KaySun as the world knows her. If your being introduced to her for the first time, you're in for a treat. I've had the pleasure of knowing her back in the day when she was first jumping on the scene. I've had the pleasure of watching her develop from a singer with a voice to an established diva with a voice. I've had the pleasure of witnessing her take her pain and struggles and write the most beautiful music. Back when I ran a company called Mighty Sphinx Entertainment we were recording and producing songs together. She would take over my ASR 10 and produce her own hot shit. We lost touch with each other for a bit. I guess we were both going through some difficult times but late last year we reconnected and recorded a new song for my new album "Everything's Eventual". Aside from the fact that when we are both in the same studio all we do is laugh, joke and be silly (maybe watch a few Japanese animation movies). Till this day I'm still surprised that we actually get work done.

She's fun.
Her music is fun.
Don't get me wrong though. Her music can make you feel her pain, inspire you and make you feel her happiness and strength. That's just her lyrics and her vibe. The music itself is not your typical R&B as some songs take you from there to Dance and back sometimes in a sort of mystical unexplained fusion/phenomenon.
She's brilliant.
When I thought she couldn't possibly get any better...she did.

I watched her perform at Rivoli, which was a show to raise money for Toronto's Rape Crisis Centre. She stands in front of the crowd and tells them how she was a victim and how music sets her free of those emotional shackles. Then she dropped joints like: "Find A Way'', ''New Horizons'' and ''Ok'' and you feel, maybe relate to her pain through her lyrics. Then through her music, as it enters your body, you feel her pain and you feel your pain leave as well. Everything at the end of the day is...''Ok''
