Biography: Krista Zaglanis

Krista Zaglanis, born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, has always been drawn to the spotlight. Whether it was the glow of a television screen or the pulse of a live stage, Krista knew early on that her path would be paved in music, media, and creativity. A natural performer with a competitive spirit, she spent her youth singing, acting in school plays, performing in improv groups, and dancing ballet. Her Girl Scout sash was nearly buried under cookie sales patches—just another sign of her drive to engage and succeed.

From the start, Krista was fascinated by the rhythm of storytelling. Influenced by '90s radio, quirky commercials, and TV legends like Lucille Ball, Betty White, and even the booming voice of Billy Mays, she began building a style that blends humor, heart, and high energy. Music icons like Celine Dion and Garth Brooks helped shape her artistic voice, while 12 years of vocal training and performances in front of thousands solidified her as a confident and capable singer. Krista is also skilled in piano, flute, choir harmonies, and even dabbles in bass guitar.

Her love for journalism and broadcasting led her to Ohio Media School, where she is currently a full-time student known for her hands-on approach and constant curiosity. A strong supporter of experiential learning, she has already written and produced multiple radio commercials and completed her first 48-hour film project—all within her second month. She's also sharpened her skills in video editing, scripting, and digital production, always eager to explore new methods of media-making.

Krista holds a business degree from the University of Phoenix and has completed Social and Digital Media Workshops, where she stood out for her attention to detail and original thinking. When she's not in class, you'll find her working on one of her many creative ventures—from her YouTube channel and TikTok page to her customized merchandise on her Printify shop, featuring everything from novelty mousepads to elegant bags.

Under the artist name KatTastic, Krista is also the founder and owner of the online creative community Mythic Ark. As both the face and force behind the platform, she leads events, designs graphics, codes the website, and manages a trained team of admins. With an instinct for making the complicated feel personal and understandable, Krista has become a trusted guide for others looking to unlock their own creative potential.

In summer 2024, Krista released her debut album, First Tries & Good Vibes—a culmination of years spent refining her musical voice. She has also authored children's books, with more literary works on the way. Her dream is to host the Super Bowl—whether as an anchor, entertainer, or storyteller—and she continues working toward launching her own media studio, complete with a recording booth, podcast space, and film set.

Whether it's helping someone visualize an idea or bringing laughter through a song or shirt design, Krista Zaglanis shows that creativity isn't just her passion—it's her way of life.
