Unique is a word that describes

this self-proclaimed tom boy from a small

town in Ohio.   After recording her first song

at the tender age of 15, Kristen Kukta has

grown up writing, singing, performing, and

has always had the dream of sharing her

music with the world.  In addition to her

music, Kristen has established herself as

an actress while performing in a full length

movie along with some Film festival shorts.

In the full length feature, "Expect A Miracle",

Kristen plays an up and coming country

singer named Crissy Bowers.  "This was an

amazing opportunity for me to play a part

that is so close to my heart."

Her goals speak for themselves...

"Perfect my craft, move to Nashville,

stay true to myself and my fans,

and finish my album."  

After recently graduating from Loyola

University Chicago with a degree in

Marketing/Management, Kristen wants

to understand every aspect of the music

business in order to better understand

herself as an INDIE artist.

Kristen is accomplishing her goals one

huge step at a time.  Proof can be seen

on her MySpace artist site,

(www.myspace.com/kristenkukta),

where in a very short time, her music

has been played more than 20,000

times and has gained an instant fan

base of more than 2,000 people.

With her recent move to Nashville,

Kristen has opened the door to the next

stage of her career.  "Surrounding

myself with the best people in the

industry has influenced me to be the

best that I can be.   I am humbled by

all the great writers and artists in this

town, and it makes the fire in me burn

even hotter to share my music."

"Just remember.   Your dreams are

what you make them.  Never stop

believing and never give up.  You

cannot fail if you haven't tried.  If

you can imagine it, you can live it."

These words sum up Kristen's beliefs,

and nothing will stop her from the

pursuit of this dream.
