Krista K

Upcoming pop singer and Miss Philippines International 2010 talks to MSN Malaysia about her love for music and dance

Krista Kleiner is 23 year old upcoming pop singer with newly released debut single "Feels So Good." Krista kicked started her career in TV hosting, ventured into acting, singing, dancing and ended up taking home the Miss Philippines International 2010 title she competed for that year.

How did Miss Philippines International 2010 turn into upcoming pop singer-songwriter? After getting through auditions, Krista embarked on a worldwide tour with Julio Iglesias as his guest star; it was during this time that she realised that she wanted to pursue singing and performing full time.

"The tour was amazing...I got to see how he did it, got a lot of advice from him and he really encouraged me to go for it...he's so smart, he was able to really give me advice that made me decide this was something I wanted to pursue."

English (which included some poetry) may have been Krista's best subject in school but prior to her upcoming album, "Krista K," she has had no writing experience. Krista, however, has been very hands on with her music, "I didn't want a label or someone else to decide the type of music that I did, or dictate, so I went the independent route; I picked all the music myself, I wrote all the music, I didn't want to just buy the music from someone, I wanted it to be very personal which is why I pushed myself to write although I've never wrote before
