Krissi Hunter is a Canadian pop artist hailing from Ontario, Canada. Her sound is upbeat, unique, and fresh – inspired by retro dance-pop and house music, with ’60s to ’80s influences. Krissi truly believes that music is a form of healing and mental therapy in our society, and always wants to bring that element to her audience.
From the early age of 7, Krissi began to take voice lessons at Merriam School of Music, and through high school, she trained under Judith Lander in both pop and musical theatre vocal stylings. Krissi’s strong vocal training background stands out in all her music, as her presence on the mic is fierce and vulnerable at the same time.
In her later teen years, she worked alongside highly esteemed vocal coach Elaine Overholt at Big Voice Studios, and most recently she has worked with the incredible Lorraine Lawson at Lawson Vocal Studios. Hunter was also a stage performer for a Disney company at the age of 14, which made her into a true professional at a young age.
Krissi soon began writing and recording country/pop music. After working in Toronto and Nashville, she released 2 singles to Canadian radio. After that, her heart led her to go back to her pop roots. Krissi recorded a few songs with a label but decided the independent route was best for her and her career.
Along with making her undeniably addicting music, Krissi also works with charities of all kinds around Canada, including Sick Kids, Breast Cancer Support Services, and the Canadian Cancer Society.
Krissi has released two singles, “Dance with You” and most recently “Boomerang,” which have garnered Hunter great success on her new journey in the pop/dance genre.
“Boomerang” by Krissi Hunter is one of the hottest new pop tracks on the market. The song is high energy with a killer beat and clever lyrics that give off major “girl boss” vibes. Krissi Hunter shows that she is on the rise to become one of pop music’s biggest female empowerment icons with this new single.
The song starts out jolting with a swelling instrumental and then heads straight into the verse, with a powerful kick drum and incredible bass line. Krissi’s vocals come out pure and strong, with some great ad-libs, vocalizations, and background vocal distribution.
The lead-in to the chorus with three punchy beats into a catchy melody line that jumps up and down will surely grab any listener’s attention and make them want to dance along to the upbeat feel of “Boomerang.” The bridge only adds more wow factor to the song, as it maintains the sassy tone of the previous sections of the single, but breaks down the instrumental a bit more to reel in the listener, only to explode into a spectacular post bridge chorus.
Lyrically, Krissi does a great job of conveying a confident and independent woman. She shows that she knows she is the “it girl” and uses the idea of a boomerang to describe a man coming back to her after leaving because he realizes he can’t find anyone like her. However, Krissi shows that she is not one to take him back so easily, with bold lines such as “I’ve got options too, and they all look better than you.”
