~ Peace & Love, Everyone ~

I am Spero -- musician, songstress, gardener, food-lover & friend to the youths. I'm raising funds to support my FIRST EVER album of original music which I've been co-crafting with the universe for the last decade. You may find my music living in musical boxes such as neo-soul / folk / singer-songwriter / psych-soul / West-African inspired finger-style guitar / etherial harmonies / luscious / and so on

Although I'm still hustling, doing organizational gymnastics and moving jars of medicinal herbs from place to place, I feel like I've grown so much musically and emotionally since 2018 when I last released some work in the world :) It will all make sense if you listen to "Alright Alright", a musical throwback from another era of bb krista

I've been writing music since I was a little, awkward bean in middle school, over half my life ago. A few continents, many teachers, and countless encounters with incredible artists later, I am sitting on a growing mountaintop of songs I am excited to share with you! And turns out this $hit is a PROCESS to digitize into 0's and 1's lordt help us all. Big thanks to Matthew @ Inner Flame Recording for his expertise, focus and hyper-chill mentality. Couldn't have done it without you, lil bro!

If you can, please pitch in to help pay the 10+ phenomenal collaborators and artists who are making this record a reality!! I love you all! Stay tuned to my IG to hear shoutouts and find out who all is on it <3

Much Love,

Spero
