From a young age K-Bust studied classical piano, and built her skills as a lyricist, composer and interpreter. She was also influenced by music of the 70s and 80s β pop icons such as Madonna, Michael Jackson, as well as old-school soul like Marvin Gaye β all of whom played a major role in developing her unique musical style.
She moved to Montreal, Canada in 2003 in order to dedicate herself to music, and quickly made a name for herself on the local scene. Among her many successes, she opened for Los Prisoneros (the biggest Chilean rock band), and performed at various music festivals in Montreal and Toronto. All the while she continued her professional vocal training, and was awarded βbest author-composer-interpreterβ by the McGill University jury in 2007.
Since 2008, she has been performing live and on the radio for events like the Chilean earthquake benefit concert, World Music Day and βThe Apollo Nightsβ show, where she sang alongside Alan Prater, a former Michael Jackson musician and back-up vocalist.
After collaborating with many local Montreal artists, K- Bustβs career really took off in 2009 when she recorded a song by Benoit Jutras (Cirque du Soleil composer) for the new show of Franco Dragone; (The House of Dancing Water) in Macao, Hong-Kong. Shortly after, she joined forces with renowned Montreal producer Sonny Black, the man behind the international success of artist such as Corneille, Dubmatique, Sheryfa Luna, Kβmaro, Shyβm, and Kulcha Connection.
Sonny and K-Bust developed an extraordinary musical chemistry, which drove the 11 powerful songs they co-produced for her debut album βUrban Stories.β Revealing a combination of Alicia Keys neo-soul sensibility, Gwen Stefaniβs urban style, the feisty attitude of Madonna and Afro-Latin sounds, the album is a faithful reflection of K-Bustβs diverse personality. With βUrban Storiesβ, K-Bust is ready to invade the pop-music world market.

K-Bust Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every night I have a dream
That we're back in time
When life was fun
But then I open my eyesβ¦
And I see where we really are
A lot of money, a big castle
A fancy ride uhhhhhh...
What am I gonna do with that
When I turn into dust?
A freak routine
The world spins and spins
The sun comes up
And I'm starting all over again
Oh nooooooooo
I wonder, will this ever stop??
Chorus:
Good times, Bad times
Is this what itβs all about ??
Good times, bedtime
I wanna break it downβ¦
Good times, Bad times
It all comes around
Good times, the Best time
To try to fly away, now...
I wanna fly away now, oh yeahhhhβ¦
I wanna fly awayβ¦
Verse II:
Every day I have this feeling
That I'm screaming and
Nobody hears me
I'm alone again
I just realized β¦
That I spend my days
In such foolish ways
And I forgot about love
What am I gonna do about that
When itβs gonna be too late?? (To go back)
A freak routine
The world spins and spins
The sun comes up
And I'm starting all over again (Oh no)
I wonder, will this last forever??
Chorus ():
Bridge:
Cause Iβll live just once
And it's not forever
I wanna find the way
To get it right
Cause Iβll live just once
And it's not forever
There's no time to waste...no, no
Thereβs no time to waste
I have no time to waste⦠no, no
Chorus:
Good times, Bad times
Is this what itβs all about ??
Good times, bedtime
I wanna break it down (Break it, break it down!! )
Good times, Bad times
My faith slides aroundβ¦
Good times, the Best time
To try to walk away, now...
I wanna fly away, I wanna walk away, oh ohβ¦
I wanna fly away, I wanna walk away, oh yeah
Cause this is all I haveβ¦
And Itβs all I believeβ¦
