Kristine W

Kristine W (Kristine Weitz) is a pivotal figure in the evolution of vocal house and dance-pop, bridging the gap between the soulful club sounds of the early 90s and the polished electronic pop of the 2000s. A former Miss Washington and Las Vegas 'Entertainer of the Year', her background in pageant performance and high-stakes residency work instilled a rigorous professional polish and theatricality into her recording career.

Her 1994 debut single, 'Feel What You Want', produced by Rollo Armstrong (Faithless), became a global club standard, establishing her signature blend of jazz-trained vocal agility and deep house sensibilities. With over 17 Billboard Number 1 Dance hits, she ranks among the most successful club artists in history. Her work is characterized by a high degree of technical skill, as she is a multi-instrumentalist who often incorporates saxophone and piano into her live sets. Culturally, she is an icon within the LGBTQ+ community, recognized for her advocacy and the empowering nature of her songwriting. Critically, she is lauded for maintaining a high standard of vocal performance in a genre often dominated by samples and processing, ensuring her longevity across three decades of dance music trends.
