Krissi Murison

In September 2009 Krissi Murison flew back from New York to become the 11th editor of NME. Prior to that she had worked as Music Director at US women's magazine NYLON, where she had booked tours and managed a fledgling record label, alongside writing for the magazine's pages.

During her first stint at NME - as New Bands Editor, then Features Editor and finally Deputy Editor - she also wrote a new music column for The Sunday Times and spent a summer presenting festival coverage for MTV2. Since returning as Editor of NME, Krissi has presided over an award-winning magazine redesign, survived an interview with Simon Cowell and been named BSME's 'New Editor of The Year'.
