NEW ALBUM BLOOM / BURN OUT ON FEBRUARY 28th

WATCH/SHARE 'BURIED ALIVE'  VIDEO HERE

Vancouver blues, jazz and soul singer Krystle Dos Santos is fighting back against domestic violence with her powerful new single/video 'Buried Alive' out today on all digital music platforms. The track is the first single from her new album Bloom / Burn which is set for release on February 28th. 

Bloom / Burn is the 4th studio release from award winning musician Krystle Dos Santos. The two-sided album project explores the darkness and light that life offers. Dos Santos writes to her younger self with songs like 'Worthy' and 'Walk On Through', promoting self confidence and self worth, while bringing to light serious issues like domestic violence with the first single 'Buried Alive'.

Accompanying the release of the single is the 'Buried Alive' video which is a call-to-action for domestic violence. It tells the story of an abusive relationship, the terrifying process of escaping that situation, and the support that is available. ‘Buried Alive' takes a hard but hopeful look at a dark social issue that can legitimately be described as an epidemic, not just in Canada but abroad as well. The video was made in collaboration with Dixon Transition Society, a local charity and safe house program. It’s directed by award winning director Thomas Affolter and features actors Mayumi Yoshida (Man In The High Castle) and David Kaye (Sirens). 

"I wrote this song to help crush my own demons, so I just felt right using it as a call-to-action for domestic violence awareness," says Dos Santos. "Watching David and Mayumi perform during the video shoot actually felt like I was a fly on the wall and it shook me to my core. I hope this video and song helps to give wings to the many people suffering in real life."

Krystle Dos Santos grew up in Edmonton and her roots are Guyanese. She studied at the elite Canadian College of Performing Arts and it is apparent in her music that she is formally trained. She released her debut self-titled album in 2008, receiving a great deal of critical acclaim, commercial success, and an award for the Urban Recording of the Year at the 2009 Western Canadian Music Awards (WCMA).  Fame Fatale, her second highly sophisticated and elevated album, was released in 2011 and received a WCMA nomination in 2012. Dos Santos has performed across Canada at the Edmonton International Jazz Festival, Victoria Jazz Festival, Honey Jam Toronto, the Whistler International Film Festival and more. 

In addition to performing, Dos Santos is an actor and has starred in The Vancouver Arts Club musical 'Dream Girls', 'The Chelsea Hotel: The Songs of Leonard Cohen' at The Firehall Arts Centre, and created a show called ‘BLAK, exploring Canada’s Black History'. She loves performing for young audiences to share the History of Motown in schools and is developing a cabaret style musical, 'Hey Viola!' about Viola Desmond with award winning producer/writer Tracey Power.
