La jeune chanteuse québécoise d’origine chilienne K-Bust part à la conquête du monde avec son tout premier album anglophone, Urban Stories. - 7Jours
Urban Stories, c’est 11 chansons à la fois pop, R&B et néo-soul. - Quebec spot
« Emotion , We’re One, Ahora Que Estàs Conmigo, Good Times (Bad Times), Everything (Is Not Totally Lost), Fallin’, Love’s Gone Away, I’m sorry, Don’t Wanna Try, Hey Mama, Humo ». - Info-Culture
Elle possède l’étoffe d’une star internationale, faisant preuve d’une énergie foudroyante. Le 23 mai dernier, K-Bust, une chanteuse néoquébécoise d’origine chilienne, devait vivre l’un des plus grands moments de sa carrière grâce au lancement officiel de son premier CD en anglais. C’est accompagnée de quelques musiciens et d’une troupe de danseuses qu’elle en met plein la vue au public invité, composé en bonne partie de membres des médias, de photographes et de quelques amis.
Bien connue dans le milieu latinoaméricain pour avoir fait la première partie de Los Prisoneros, le groupe rock le plus populaire du Chili, et pour avoir participé à des spectacles-bénéfices dans des causes comme le tremblement de terre survenu dans son pays d’origine, elle demeure une belle surprise pour le public d’ici. Le blogue de Luc R était présent à l'évènement organisé par PUR Communications et est heureux de présenter cette chanteuse à ses lecteurs. - Luc Renaud
La chanteuse québécoise d’origine chilienne K-Bust a offert une excellente performance au Club Balattou de Montréal le 5 juillet dernier lors de son spectacle portant sur son nouveau CD, Urban Stories, dont le lancement a eu lieu au Lion d’or le 23 mai dernier. Le blogue de Luc R avait couvert l’évènement et dès lors vu en K-Bust un talent indéniable, et la détermination d’une jeune femme en mesure de mener une carrière internationale.
Nous nous sommes réjouis de voir que d’autres médias partageaient aussi ce point de vue et nous étions promis d’assister au spectacle alors en préparation. - Luc Renaud

Bio
K-Bust is an international Pop artist. Hailing from the coastal city of Valparaiso, the cultural and artistic center of Chile, she now lives and performs in Montreal, Canada. A self-taught musician, she is a singer / songwriter with the ability to express herself fluently in English, Spanish and French, giving her a powerful asset to reach a worldwide market; qualities that make her stand out as an artist.
From a young age K-Bust studied classical piano, and built her skills as a lyricist, composer and interpreter. She was also influenced by music of the 70s and 80s – pop icons such as Queen, David Bowie, Madonna, as well as old-school soul like Marvin Gaye – all of whom played a major role in developing her unique musical style.
Among her many successes, she opened for Los Prisioneros (the biggest Chilean rock band), and performed at various music festivals in Montreal and Toronto. All the while she continued her professional vocal training, and was awarded “best author-composer-interpreter” by the McGill University jury in 2007.
After collaborating with many local Montreal artists, such as Alan Prater, a former Michael Jackson musician and back-up vocalist, K-Bust’s career really took off in 2009 when she recorded a song by Benoit Jutras (Cirque du Soleil composer) for the new show of Franco Dragone; (The House of Dancing Water) in Macao, Hong-Kong. Shortly after, she joined forces with renowned Montreal producer Sonny Black, the man behind the international success of artist such as Corneille, Dubmatique, Sheryfa Luna, K’maro, Shy’m, and Kulcha Connection.
Sonny and K-Bust developed an extraordinary musical chemistry, which drove the 11 powerful songs they co-produced for her debut album “Urban Stories.” Revealing a combination of Alicia Keys neo-soul sensibility, Gwen Stefani’s urban style, the feisty attitude of Madonna and Afro-Latin sounds, the album is a faithful reflection of K-Bust’s diverse personality.
Produced by Indi-K Records label and distributed by DEP/Universal Music, the record is available in stores in Canada and in digital format worldwide. The deluxe version, including 4 new remixes, is only available in digital format.
In March 2013, she goes on her first promotional tour to Chile, gathering some solid reviews by the local press. In September of the same year, her record label releases her first official music video named Emotion on Vevo.
Since the beginning of 2014, she moves to Germany to dedicate herself to the production of her second album, with well known producer Uwe Klapdor.
