Biography

Kristina Train, born Kristina Beaty on 17 January 1982 in New York City, is an American singer‑songwriter whose early training in classical violin and participation in church and school choirs laid the foundation for a career that blends country, soul, gospel, blues, folk, and jazz. After moving to London in the early 2000s, she secured a deal with Blue Note Records in 2001, becoming the last artist signed by Arif Mardin. Her debut studio album, Spilt Milk, was released on 20 October 2009 and featured eight co‑written tracks; the single "Waltz With Me Under The Sun" followed in 2013. In 2012 she issued Dark Black through Mercury Records, a project that earned praise from the BBC and the Huffington Post and was highlighted by Bruce Springsteen on his radio show. Subsequent releases include the self‑released Rayon City in 2021, Body Pressure in 2022, and County Line in 2025 under Blue Elan Records. Train has toured with high‑profile artists such as Herbie Hancock, Chris Isaak, and Susan Tedeschi, and contributed vocals to projects by Marc Cohn, Robert Randolph, and the Tedeschi Trucks Band. Her work has appeared in film soundtracks, including Measuring the World (2012) and Queen of Carthage (2013), and she has been featured in advertising campaigns for Lexus and Gap.
