DESCRIPTION:
In Memory of Kristie.

Kristie DeLuca was born in Buffalo, New York and raised in a large, musical family. Her father a pastor and musician, introduced Kristie to music at a young and impressionable age. By six years old she picked up a violin and flute, and was determined to play. Did she ever. She was a natural. Soon thereafter, she began to excel on piano and eventually, she would lead her father's church band and exceed in music throughout her school years.

At sixteen, Kristie was backing up local artists at various Buffalo clubs, lending her unique rock violin & flute accompaniments to their music. A year later, Kristie picked up an acoustic guitar and was determined, not only to play the instrument, but to make it her own. Also, around this time, she discovered a powerful singing voice that was dying to get out. It did get out, and with a vengeance. The musicians she surrounded herself with were blown away by her sultry & powerful vocal style. Everything began to click; her musicianship excelled, her vocals were unique and fresh, and her song writing flowed endlessly. A true artist and performer was born.

Kristie moved south to Florida, making music into a life was not only a dream, but soon became a reality. She played the clubs and bars of Orlando and as time went on she became the most requested local 'LIVE' performer in Central Florida, as well as getting her songs featured on WMMO 98.9FM. Music would be her only focus.

CompuSol - Creative Services designed the main DeLuca Band web site "http://www.compusol.org/videomedia/kr... and supported her with weekly updates and video and audio promos on-site and per DVD. Then, three years ago she moved to the West Coast with partner and friend Brent and their beautiful son Maximus in search to advance her career. The last we heard in December of 2006 was Brent and Kristie got married. They send us some pictures and wrote:

Brent, Kristie & Maximus
