Biography

KRISTEENYOUNG is a piano/keyboard and drums “rock” duo, in the golden years sense of the word, when rock was simultaneously adventurous, original, scary and fun. The pair is made up of singer, writer, pianist/keyboardist, Kristeen Young and drummer “Baby” Jeff White.

Kristeen’s distinctive voice has been heralded, by many, as the best new voice in rock. She bashes, slams and bangs her piano/keyboard in a rock-riff manner, while running it through effects pedals to make it sound like a cross between a piano and guitar. Baby Jeff pummels the drums like a modern-day John Bonham. Bonham’s own daughter Zoe, herself a musician, gave Jeff the title after seeing him play at The Barfly in London in 2005.


KRISTEENYOUNG have just completed recording their new album, THE ORPHANS. The title relates to Kristeen’s experiences as an adopted bi-racial child and an “indie” artist adult. The lyrics, composed with a beatnik’s sense of the sound and rhythm of a word, possess both razor sharp honesty and surreal imagery. Performed and recorded live, the album is bombastic, visceral and dissonant, with melodic moments of heart-aching clarity.


THE ORPHANS is the third of KRISTEENYOUNGs albums to be produced (on spec.) by legendary record producer, TONY VISCONTI.

    decent lyrics, odd voice.....her lyrics make me wish I could like her voice. Going to see her open for Moz next week.

    Self-absorbed person here. "We", as in the Royal We? LOL When I get my 30 minutes back of witnessing her "act" the first time, I'll abstain from stating my honest opinion of her. That's what shoutboxes are for.

    Dear self-absorbed persons, before you write, take in consideration the following: we are not interested in 1) your dislike in her and 2) how much you suffered on your moz shows 3) how much your head hurt or whatever. kind regards ect.

    one thing I can't figure is that all of her own publications list her stage name as KRISTEENYOUNG, yet last.fm autocorrects it to Kristeen Young.

    Literally the worst sounding music I have ever heard in my life [4]. Morrissey knows how to torture us in many different ways.

    I don't know if I like her or not. There were some pretty good songs, but something still sounds... off.
