That’s Just About 100 Miles Up State Highway 99 - North From Bakersfield CA . The infamous Central California town that gave rise to quite a few historically noteworthy “West-Coast Country Artists.” Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, Dwight Yoakum, Bill Woods, and Gary Allen. And now the latest in this prolific line of amazing artists is Miss Kristi Warner! A Raven-Haired young beauty, with a voice of emotional steel & soul, steeped in the traditions of those glorious ladies of country – Tammy Wynette, Reba McEntire, Loretta Lynn and Wynonna, to name a few -
At The Youthful Age Of 4, Kristi Discovered The Fun and The Entertainment Value, Of Performing Around Her Family Home, Using Her Favorite Red Hairbrush As A Microphone . Singing “I Saw the Light” by Wynona Judd to her friends and family. And especially her father Gary, her biggest fan then and still today. It was then that Kristi knew what her future held in store. She knew then that someday she would find her way to Nashville, and realize her dreams for the age of 4, to become a successful country artist .
In high school Kristi around the age of 16, she decided to give the school talent show a try. She did. And she Won ! But what she won was more important for Kristi. She won studio time in a local recording studio in Fresno. Following shortly, she then cut her first vocal-demo, and realized then that her dream of becoming a singer and country artist was about to start rolling east – East towards Nashville that is !!
It was about November of 2004, and as a burgeoning teen-ager, Kristi took her first trip to Nashville, with her purpose, entering the “StarSeek Talent” competition. And so Kristi’s dream continued to evolve! She came in 1st Place and “Won” the talent showcase. Her dreams were well on their way to becoming reality.
Kristi and Her Family Made the Decision to Move to Nashville in Early June 2006 and Allow Her to Focus 100% on Pursuit of Her Dreams For a Music and Singing Career . So she packed her bags (and favorite hair-brush) and moved straight to Music City USA! It was June of 2006 when Kristi began the year long process of putting her first album project together, along with the love and attention of some of Nashville’s top songwriters, pickers & musician’s. The end result - “Read My Lipstick” . A 13 song production that established Kristi’s vocal sound as a Powerfully Spirited Pure Country Lady !

Then, in January 2007, Kristi was involved with the production of her first professional music video “One Of The Boys” . A song off her debut album. As a result, she made the “Finals” of the “CMT - Music City Madness” contest.
Then, To Kristi’s Surprise, In October 2007, Kristi’s Song “Deep Down I Still Love Him”, From Her Album “Read My Lipstick”, Charted To Number 5 on Europe’s Top 100-ECMA Charts . Her album was then named the album of the month in the Netherlands, complete with gracious reviews from European Music Media.

Kristi Had The Opportunity To Get Deep Into The Writing Process After Joining BMI In Early 2008 - Then She Continued To Network And Perform Throughout Nashville’s Club, Café & Lower Broadway Honky-Tonk Circuit Through 2008 & 2009 .

She provided back-up vocals and even has 2 of her "Original-Songs" on Eben's album. So with even greater focus and more "hard work" she and plans to keep the compliments coming more than ever in 2010 . Kristi will be moving hard into 2010, with numerous, well planned & produced “Showcases” throughout Nashville’s premier showcase venues.
Since putting her new “Music Team” together at the end of 2009, Kristi and her team-members have embarked on careful planning, strategic focus, passion and some very creatively clever “Wow” for 2010.
