Her music fuses almost every American style, from country and folk to soul and jazz.
Growing up, music was casual in the Warren home, from her grandmom’s eight track tapes to the lullabies her family sung around the house, to a brief and much-hated stint in the church choir. Warren remembers starting to sing at the age of four, but it wasn’t until she saw an ABC special on The Beatles at age 13 that she really became passionate about learning and performing music. Warren learned her first chords by ear from Rubber Soul and Revolver, and her musical horizons quickly expanded to include grunge (Smashing Pumpkins and Soundgarden), classic Brit Pop (The Kinks, The Who, The Faces) and even jazz, in particular Betty Carter, Nina Simone, Kurt Elling and even Mel Torme.
At 17,Warren took her fledgling songwriting skills out into KC’s thriving counterculture, befriending numerous avant-garde artists, from painters to street poets to singers, who gave her the support to move forward with her music. "I knew a lot of amazing people in Kansas City," Warren recalls, “quite a few musicians and composers who were really into something new. Though I started in the singer/songwriter scene, I began performing in a lot of jazz spots when I was about twenty, and those folks were really helpful in my education." Warren eventually fell in with some jazz musicians, who she would share the stage with.
Warren has toured the US with artists ranging from Martha Wainwright to Zap Mama, from Rodrigo & Gabriela to Erykah Badu. Warren opened for the whole Keziah Jones French tour of late 2008 – debuting 2009.
Her debut album as Krystle Warren & The Faculty, “Circles”, released in 2009, was recorded with two-time Grammy-winning producer Russell Elevado at the Electric Lady Studios in NYC .
Her debut solo album, "Three The Hard Way", was released in 2018.
