Bio:
Kristin is a recording and performing artist from the Nashville area. At a young age, Kristin developed a love for music and began taking classical piano lessons when she was 9 years old. She also enjoyed writing poetry, which later turned into an interest in songwriting. In the next few years after high school, Kristin recorded her first original single, was active in multiple college choirs and underwent many years of vocal coaching with three skilled private instructors.

A few years later, after attending Belmont (taking music business and songwriting classes), Kristin overcame her stage fright and finally began promoting some of her original music, performing locally in an acoustic duo. She also released her first EP on Soundcloud featuring the accomplished bassist Dominic John Davis. Kristin’s EP has received indie radio play and press in several countries, including the United States, France, Brazil, Germany, Mexico, and Egypt.

More recently, Kristin became a regular performer in jazz nights in Nashville and was in a classic rock cover band as lead vocalist and keytarist. During this time, Kristin also began work at an independent record label outside of Nashville as an A&R representative and found that she loved guiding the talent of fellow artists and bands. Additionally, Kristin also worked as a studio demo vocalist for other songwriters in the Nashville and Kentucky areas. This experience, along with promoting talent at the label, made Kristin see how much she enjoys helping others develop their music.

Kristin currently works in the music education field, and sings as a studio demo vocalist. Kristin is recording new music in winter 2025 to be released in early 2026 on all streaming platforms including Spotify and Amazon globally.
