A self-proclaimed “Daughter of the Midwest,” singer/songwriter K.Raydio (born Krysta Rayford) has released two EP’s, performed in many of the Twin Cities’ landmark concert venues (7^th Street Entry, Cabooze, Varsity Theater), established a fanbase in both Minnesota and Wisconsin, and conquered stage fright – in less than a year.

K.Raydio released her debut album, the Significant (Other) EP on August 30, 2010. Produced entirely by DJ, producer and multimedia artist Man Mantis, the EP includes heavy hip-hop, soul and blues influences, particularly on the opening track “Make It Happen” (featuring Minneapolis’ own Phonetic ONE) and fan favorite “Catchy Hook” (featuring JDante). The album’s closing track, “My Outro” is a dedication to Lena Horne and has evolved into K.Raydio’s signature song.
