Who is Ktown Kris?

Kristina Hatcher is an artist, content coach & indie advocate who started in the industry as a professional photographer over 20 years ago. Once she started hosting events she immediately fell in love with being on stage and in front of the camera so she retired her Canon and jumped on the mic and became known as Ktown Kris hosting shows all over Jax including stages at the Jacksonville Landing, James Weldon Johnson Park (Formerly Hemming Plaza), The Ritz Theatre, Prime Osbourne and more. She now exercises her photography skills shooting product shots for small business owners, landscapes of her travels, lifestyle shots with her husband and sharing shots on Google Local Guides of small businesses with over 18 million views and counting. Social Media has always fueled her growth and organically she’s created a network of support and highly skilled professionals. Her goal is to help small business owners with the start of their social media journey, teach the basics so that one day they can grow large enough to afford hiring others to do the extra work.

Having hosted and planned events including weddings, fashion shows and artist showcases to modeling internationally in Cuba, Kris has made a name for herself in entertainment and fashion here in Jacksonville as well as connecting to people worldwide. She loves being a community connection and her goal has always been to spotlight other artists, entrepreneurs and small business owners. Being on a stage is her happy place and in addition to hosting, acting and modeling she would love to do more motivational speaking.

Kris and Dom have traveled thousands of miles together around the southeast and are planning travel beyond this year including the #PollinationTour happening this summer. From dispersed camping to AirBnb’s, gluten-free restaurants and independently owned gyms and shops you’ll see their pages overloaded with support for their network which is consistently growing everyday.

In her personal life Kris has been a mom since the age of 16 with five children by the age of 23 and struggled as a single mom for many years. Her children are all young adults now so they don’t like being “featured” per say on their mom’s page but the 2 beautiful grandgirls pop up from time to time. What used to be pages full of kids photos are now full of travels, landscapes, art, music, food, events and occasionally their pup Ms. Iris Chanel who loves to tag long on all the trips she can. Ktown and Diesel love having a good time and showing you all how to have a good time too while supporting the arts, entrepreneurs and unique talents all around us!
