Krysten Berg, influenced both musically and culturally by her European heritage as well as living in major cultural melting pots such as London, New York and Los Angeles, brings a multi-faceted background to her writing and performing. Having had her first stage appearance at the age of 4 and studying classical music throughout her childhood, she began composing on guitar and later on piano, giving her the opportunity to display her wide range of vocal and musical skills. After graduating from College for the Performing Arts she made a bold move from her native Europe to New York where she honed her craft and paid her dues by becoming an in-demand session singer working alongside top producers and learning how records were made. Moving to London to record her debut album, she worked with accomplished musicians such as Grammy award winner Mike Howlett, Seal bassist Phil Spalding and Pink Floyd percussionist Gary Wallis.
Determined to record more of her own music, she moved back to New York and began working on her US debut "New Moon" with producer Jeff Bova and an eclectic cast of musicians such as guitarist Jeff Golub, drummer Shawn Pelton and percussionist Carol Steele to name a few. She has performed at numerous London and Manhattan hot spots ~ 'The Orange', 'CBGB's Gallery', 'Downtime' and 'Mercury Lounge'. The title song "New Moon" has gotten airplay across the US and Canada and landed in the Top 10 (CMJ). Her song "Falling" is featured in the movie "Shutter" (2008).
Unlike her album "New Moon" which embodied a sense of urgency, written and recorded almost simultaneously, Krysten Berg's latest album "Shades of Blue" has been more of a journey, starting with recordings in London, then New York to the final mixing in Los Angeles. It is being added to radio playlists and continues to gain momentum.
"Shades of Blue" is in stores now, available at iTunes and Amazon worldwide.

Fearless
Krysten Berg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Driven by ardent fire, driven by wild desire
Oh in the arms of Eden we were once fearless
Fearless, you know
Weathered the storms in our soul
Letting our passions take control
Yeah we were fearless
Fearless, you know
When you sob in your sleep
When you call out my name
When you lay in my arms
You should've been fearless, you know
Driven by thirst for the unknown
Driven by hunger for the road
Oh driven out of Eden
Yeah we were fearless
Fearless, you know
When you're losing your way
When you're haunted by shame
When you run to my arms
You should be fearless, you know
Why am I falling, falling from grace
Hold me I'm falling, falling
When I sob in my sleep
When I call out your name
When I lie in your arms
I want to be fearless, you know
When I'm losing my way
When I'm haunted by shame
When I run to your arms
I want to be fearless, you know
In "Fearless" by Krysten Berg, the chorus repeats the phrase "we were once fearless, fearless, you know" throughout the song, emphasizing the idea of being fearless as a concept that is both tangible and abstract. The verses that follow explore different moments of vulnerability and fear that the singer and their loved one experience. The first verse sets the tone for the song's themes of passion and desire, referencing the concept of Eden as a symbol of a time when they were free from fear. The second verse describes weathering personal storms and letting passion guide them, emphasizing the idea that fearlessness is a state of mind that can be attained when they relinquish control.
The bridge is particularly intriguing in that it is sung by the singer, who is actively seeking support from their loved one, saying "Hold me I'm falling, falling." They want to be fearless, but acknowledge a sense of vulnerability and wanting someone to hold onto. The end of the song brings things full circle, as the singer now wants to be fearless in their own right, saying "when I run to your arms I want to be fearless, you know." The journey from being fearless in the past, to seeking help, to wanting to be fearless again underscores the complexity of what it means to be unafraid.
