Kris Berry

Kris Berry is a singer-songwriter from Curaçao whose music moves between soul, jazz, pop and the many colours of her Caribbean roots. With a voice that feels both intimate and unmistakable, she writes from lived experience, turning personal observations, questions and contradictions into songs that invite you to feel, reflect and connect. Across her independent releases, including Marbles, Berry Street and N.O.W. (Namelessly Objectifying Wonder), Kris has continued to explore the relationship between sound, identity and being. Released in 2022, N.O.W. received praise from multi-Grammy Award-winning artist Gregory Porter, who described it as “open and wonderfully self-reflective” and “simply put… really beautiful.” Now, Kris is turning towards the language she grew up with. Her forthcoming project, currently titled Krioyo Pop, is her first creative chapter centred on Papiamentu. Deeply connected to Curaçao and its musical foundations, the project isn’t an attempt to recreate tradition. Instead, it brings those roots into conversation with her own contemporary musical language. A new chapter, in her own time and in her own sound. IG: @krisberry
