Kristine W is the ultimate chameleon. The beauty queen-turned-club-siren enjoys the professional freedom to go from black evening gown and gloves one minute to pink and blue dreadlocks the next.

"It's great to be able to do a 45 minutes full-on, dance-until-you-drop show," she says. "Then be on a cruise ship doing jazz versions of 'Feel What You Want' with everyone drinking martinis."

Still, Kristine W knows where her bread-and-butter is. She’s topped the dance charts a record-breaking nine consecutive times and plans to do it once more with her newest single, "Walk Away". The track originated from a conversation between Kristine and Alan Rich, who co-penned her #1 dance single "Stronger."

Not to be mistaken with the Kelly Clarkson song of the same name, the former Miss America contestant says Rich initially planned "Walk Away" for Whitney Houston. Kristine W snapped it up, though, and with her onboard, Tony Moran was instantly interested. With the pair's previous success, the DJ/producer has already said he will include the track on his new compilation disc. It will also appear on Kristine W's upcoming fourth full-length release.

"People spend so much time in toxic relationships," explains Kristine of the song’s lyrical content. "Even though "Walk Away" is about telling someone if they don’t need your love to leave, it's about empowerment."

A fourth generation entertainer who hails from Pasco, Washington, Kristine W began honing her musical skills at a young age. After winning titles as Miss Tri-Cities, Miss Washington and placing first in the talent competition at the Miss America pageant, Kristine went on to pursue her educational and musical dreams in Las Vegas, where she found success headlining her own show at the Las Vegas Hilton.

Numerous awards followed, including several 'Las Vegas Entertainer of the Year' wins and being officially sanctioned as the entertainer who performed more live shows at the Las Vegas Hilton than any other performer in its history - including Elvis! This award led to June 28th being officially sanctioned Kristine W day in the state of Nevada.

After conquering Las Vegas, Kristine reached the top of the dance charts in 1994 with the now classic anthem "Feel What You Want" landing at #1 on Billboard's Dance Chart and holding at the top five in more than ten countries worldwide. Signing with RCA Records and releasing the 1996 critically acclaimed album, LAND OF THE LIVING, Kristine catapulted to the top of the dance music spotlight with two more singles, the beautifully spun "One More Try", which won Kristine an ASCAP Award for co-writing, and the album's title track "Land Of The Living", in which the artist shares real experiences of survival and overcoming life's obstacles.

Finding herself in the executive producers chair for her second RCA studio album, Kristine W recorded the smash follow-up album STRONGER. Released in 2000, the savvy collection of rhythmic tracks, encompassing dance floor grooves, neo-soul and unadulterated pop, again placed the versatile performer at the top of the Billboard Club Play Charts. The album's title track "Stronger" and the timeless single "Lovin' You" both added to Kristine's vault of number one singles.

Overcoming a two-year battle with Leukemia, Kristine W then completed work on her next album FLY AGAIN. While in that process, she recorded and released her sixth chart topping single, "Some Lovin'." The track quickly became a hit both in the US and overseas and was a featured single for the hit SHOWTIME series QUEER AS FOLK. The music video featured Kristine with the cast, including award-winning actress Sharon Gless.

Kristine eventually passed superstars Madonna and Janet Jackson (each with seven #1 dance songs in a row) to rack up eight consecutive chart-toppers. When her 2005 single “Wonder of It All” went all the way, it became her ninth #1, breaking her own record.

By summer 2007, Kristine hopes to have at least one new record available. In addition to an album of dance material, she intends to release her first jazz recording. "We're pretty dead-set on doing a double disc," she notes. "One will be organic, the other will be chilled remixes for chill stations at satellite radio."

Though she anticipates winning new fans with a jazz recording – which will include a plethora of top names in the genre – she does not plan to leave the club scene behind. According to Kristine, she thrives on the instant gratification the environment provides.

"When I see my fans on the dance floor, with that fire in their eyes, I know we are connected," she says. "I feel like that's what I was sent here to do. I'm the messenger, and I'm doing my job."
