KRŸS
producer
Born from a journey of loss, resilience, and self-discovery, KRŸS (pronounced Chris) is the creative alter-ego of Kris Evan Säde, an artist from Estonia. After losing his father at a young age, music became more than just a passion – it was a sanctuary, a way to navigate grief, overcome self-doubt, and find his own voice in a world that often felt distant. This emotional depth is woven into every aspect of his artistry, shaping his signature blend of cinematic storytelling, ethnic influences, and hypnotic techno. With a natural sensitivity to melody since childhood, Kris crafts intricate, multi-layered tracks that resonate on a deeply emotional level.
For over 14 years, he has honed his craft as a producer, serving as the driving force behind multiple musical projects – most notably the acclaimed electronic duo WATEVA, which achieved multiple viral hits across various countries and released music on renowned labels such as Armada Music, Atlantic, and STMPD.
His expertise in music production is also complemented by a diverse background in visual arts. Over the years, he has refined his skills, enabling him to tell a story through immersive virtual landscapes and psychedelic, mind-bending visuals. KRŸS takes his audience on a journey, where music and visuals converge to explore the shared human experience of heartbreak, resilience, and ultimately transcendence.
