Kristin Center

Kristin Center is an American fusion singer-songwriter, concert pianist, record producer, audio engineer and contemporary composer whose electro-acoustic style incorporates elements of blues, Afro-Cuban jazz, reggae, funk, classical and R&B with a fierce lyrical message of open your mind. Studying solo classical piano since age 5, she made her first public performance at age 6 in Seattle, Washington and since then has pursued a rigorous academic, creative, and performance-based lifestyle. This lifestyle formed a straight-shot solo-entertainer career in the summer of 2010 revolving around rapidly increased YouTube subscribers, the release of her self-produced 2011 EP, Consider The World, a New York tour in 2011, and final move to Los Angeles, California in January of 2012 where she self-produced, mixed and released two albums, initiated a local House Concert phenomenon, and began combining her creative work with environmentalism. In a modern sense, Kristin's contemporaries are Norah Jones, Fiona Apple, Sara Bareilles, Alicia Keys, Lily Allen, Nellie McKay, Regina Spektor and Ingrid Michaelson, while her compositional roots are traced to Rachmaninoff, Ravel and J.S. Bach.
