Cristiano Buzzi, known professionally as KRIS (1968), is a performer, choreographer, and artistic director. He began his path in dance in 1983, approaching breaking through the influence of films and hip hop culture of that time, and in the following years expanded his research into other styles within the urban scene. Through constant participation in jams, events, and international battles, he established himself as a leading figure in Italian Hip Hop.

Over the course of his career, he has received major recognition, including winning Best Show at the Battle of the Year International in Germany in 2004, as well as numerous national titles and important placements in major European competitions. In 2007, he also received a prestigious award for his contribution to the spread of locking, presented by Greg Campbellock Jr., an original member of The Lockers.

Alongside his competitive career, he developed a solid international path as both performer and judge, taking part in major events within the urban dance scene. He has also collaborated with the television world, working as a choreographer, teacher, and performer on several successful programmes, as well as creating choreography for music productions and video content.

His artistic research also extends to theatre, where he creates choreography for performances and tours, collaborating with companies and musicians and contributing to the dialogue between hip hop and other stage languages. He is also involved in commercial and fashion events, taking on roles in artistic direction and choreography for major brands and large-scale events.

He currently teaches at prestigious dance academies in Bologna and is the artistic director of KC Artist, a company active in entertainment and events. He is also co-founder of The Week, one of the most important events in the Italian hip hop scene.
