Jazz Singer Kirsten
Sydney jazz singer, Kirsten, returns with a fresh voice to the Australian jazz music scene after performing extensively throughout Europe, the UK, Japan, and the Middle East over the past 5 years.
A talented lyricist and arranger, Kirsten's rendition of tunes like Wayne Shorter's "Footprints" have been described as poignant and sensitive. Expect a creative mix of old and new as jazz standards and new music are interpreted with skillful vocal beauty.
Kirsten graduated from the School of Music at the University of New South Wales, Australia, in 1993 and then furthered her jazz studies at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.
In Australia, she is a highly sought-after performer, working alongside high-profile jazz artists such as Vince Jones, Wendy Matthews, and Andrew Oh at venues and international events like the Basement, Soup Plus, the Tilbury Hotel, the Opera Bar, and the Bledisloe Cup.
Her passion for music led her to seek new challenges, and in 2004, Kirsten left Australia. Since then, she has become a successful international artist, basing herself in Europe for several years. She has also completed a number of high-profile overseas contracts, including stints at the Ritz-Carlton Osaka and the prestigious Grosvenor House Hotel, Dubai.
