Krista Sher Selico is the new pop classical voice: an artist with a flair for taking the timeless class and elegance of opera and making it accessible and exciting for a contemporary audience. Having already attracted a million followers at Instagram and sold-out a performance at the W Hotel in London, she now shares her debut EP ‘Big Beautiful Music’ which is out now. Listen HERE.
It’s a compelling introduction to Krista’s talents, an interpretation as intimate as it is breathtakingly beautiful. It will beguile new fans into a classic art form, who previously may have thought that opera wasn’t for them.
Krista says, “I wanted to strip away the diva and find the heartbeat of the melody. Something more intimate, more sensual, and purely from the soul. This isn’t the opera house version. This is the version for late nights, open fields, and finding beauty in the quiet moments.”
The 5-track ‘Big Beautiful Music’ project emphasises Krista’s limitless potential as an artist who can take opera to the people. She applies her stunning four-octave vocal range to arias such as ‘Quando M’en Vo’ (from ‘La bohème’), ‘Vissi D’arte’ (from ‘Tosca’), O Mio Babbino Caro (from ‘Gianni Schicchi’ by Puccini) (in the process also introduces her multilingual skills (English, Italian, French, and German).
“Big Beautiful Music” is only one aspect of Krista’s multifaceted musical pedigree. She previously released two re-imagined arias: “Ebben” which was submitted for a Grammy and “O Mio” which she produced in collaboration with Mark Batson (Alicia Keys, Dave Matthews Band, LeAnn Rimes, Power Book IV, Spider-Man 2, etc.). She’s currently putting the final touches on her next album, “La Figlia” scheduled to be released this fall, features soaring original self-penned pop classical songs. Recorded at Abbey Road with Chinese-American pianist and composer Nathan Wang (who has scored over three hundred films for Hollywood and Asian cinema) alongside the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Further collaborators include Dave Reitzas (Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Josh Groban).
