With a subtle mix of Hip-Hop and R&B K.R.I.S. creates a unique sound which he labels “life music.” K.R.I.S. is a member and CEO of BTMG Muziq Group, which launched in the summer of 2012. Along side of his fiance Amanda Lewallen their purpose is to create a family oriented atmosphere, with a goal of winning souls for Christ. K.R.I.S’s mission is to not only inspire, but also to change the secular realm of music adjoining two worlds with focus of delivering one message. “God is, always has, and forever will be Commander & Chief to all nations.”****
K.R.I.S. was born and raised in the city of New York in a single parent home. Statistically speaking, the future was one that would bring many challenges. Raised by his mother, Dr. Adrienne Williams who is an avid church goer and believer of the gospel, She was instrumental in strengthening his foundation. K.R.I.S. always knew truth, but as a man in search of feeling quickly fell victim to the money and power which brought an unsettling fame. You name it he lived it, experiencing all the street had to offer except death itself. Although K.R.I.S. ignored what he knew about God his life was still spared. “A praying mother is what got me through” says K.R.I.S. In 2011 everything would change. Sitting alone in a one room apartment he accepted Christ back into his life, and his vow never to return to a world of death, pain, and imprisonment stands strong today and forever. ****
“Eclectic Praize,” is his self titled album describing a journey in which he came and now uses for the sole purpose of testament. K.R.I.S. describes his character as one of passion, loyalty, forgiveness, and growth. “To God be the glory may I walk, talk, live, and see as my Father does” he replies. Always having a strong fear of God, K.R.I.S. is now humbled by his experiences and experience alone has brought about a change many recognize as a gift. After five years in an industry unforgiving and brutally honest, K.R.I.S. prays that this gift will be accepted by all genres. “If God is with me no man will ever tear down what He has built.” Prepare yourselves for an artist weathered with an anointing whose soul is anchored by the Kingdom, with a stage presence that will usher pure praise reaching out to the nations. Amen****
