Kristen not only writes her own music, she also conceptualizes her own artwork, photography, brand, and directs/edits her own music videos. In March 2018 Kristen traveled to Nashville, TN for the first time, ultimately performing on the stage at the Douglas Corner Café.  She is looking forward to all the opportunities associated with releasing a full-length album as well as recording new material for her sophomore album.
