drewby 9,246 Posted January 14, 2015 Poison Ivory, who’s birth name is Kristina, grew up in Los Angeles and as a kid at Mount Zion, a Black Baptist Church located in the city’s Inglewood area. Later her father became a pastor who presided over homeless ministries. He was also a promotions and publicity executive inside the record industry doing promotion and publicity for such artist as The Temptations, WAR, Bill Withers, and The Mama’s & The Papas. At one point, Ivory thought her plans for a career in music were going to be derailed due to a life- threatening bout with Hodgkin’s lymphoma cancer. “It was the toughest period in my life. But, thankfully, I got through it,” she says. Ivory was linked to record producer/singer-songwriter Ryan Leslie for three years. Shortly after the split from Leslie, Ivory slowly started to lose her voice because of over-work and the after-effects of the arduous chemo treatments. In May 2014 she released her "The Filth" EP. Poison Ivory enlisted a number of friends and cool musicians to produce and collaborate on The Filth. “Little Piece of Heaven” and “Mr. Wonderful” were produced by the team of J.M.G. Both “Sex” and “The Coolest Kid”were produced by Synematik; and “Alchemy,” is produced by Jo-A. There are plans to produce music videos for all five of the songs featured on The Filth. For the immediate future, Poison Ivory plans to continue the promotion and marketing of The Filth independently…as creative control is of crucial importance to her.

National Anthem 9,904 Posted January 14, 2015 For future reference there is a space in my username lol. Anyway idk this doesn't really sound like something I could get into... I'll keep her on my radar though. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Atom Heart 1,929 Posted January 14, 2015 I may get into it, but her appearance doesn't really fit with how much into the pop genre she sits in. Currently loving Alchemy though. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deleted User 1,353 Posted January 14, 2015 Man, what a tough story Love her style. Her music sounds kind of weak. But I feel she's got something good Thank you for summoning! @ 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did find the music (the singles and mixtape) she released under her other name (Krys Ivory) and it's R&B, check it out. It's completely different from everything on The Filth 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iseeyouupsidedown 931 Posted January 14, 2015 She looks like Brooke Candy (and Laganja Estranja lol, who purposefully looks like Brooke Candy) but she sounds like Neon Hitch. Nothing too special imo but great backstory and I look forward to seeing how her music evolves. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
