Train was born in New York City, but was raised in Savannah, Georgia from the age of nine. Her mother, Kathy Beatty, is a schoolteacher in Savannah. Train is an only child. While growing up, she sang in church and school choirs, studied classical violin, and volunteered at the Savannah Music Festival.

Train began singing and playing violin professionally in 1999 with The Looters, a band also known for backing European musicians Rosa King and Saskia Laroo on tours of the US. She also performed with "Rosa King and The Looters" for several showcases in Georgia before King's death in 2000.

In 2001 Train played a showcase in New York City for Blue Note Records. Executives Bruce Lundvall and Arif Mardin subsequently signed Train to Blue Note, but Train ultimately acquiesced in her mother's wish that she attend college. While attending school, she performed with a band in Athens, Georgia. Eventually, however, Train left school to pursue music full time, moving to New York and signing with Blue Note again.
Train's debut album, Spilt Milk, was released on October 20, 2009. Blue Note had initially been interested in pairing her with Norah Jones producer Lee Alexander, but Train instead went to London and asked Jimmy Hogarth to produce the album. Train co-wrote eight songs on the album, collaborating with Hogarth, Eg White, and Ed Harcourt. Train also arranged and overdubbed strings on three tracks on Spilt Milk.On 26 October 2012, Kristina Train's latest album, Dark Black was released for online purchases in the UK, and on 5 November 2012, the CD was released in the UK. On November 13, 2012, the CD will be released in the US. The new album, where she has collaborated mainly with Ed Harcourt and songwriter/producer Martin Craft, features "Train’s dreamy, intense and intoxicating Southern American vocals". The new album is being released by Mercury Records (UK).
