Her mature musical accomplishments belie Kyrie Kristmanson’s tender 22 years. Kyrie writes and sings her own songs accompanying herself on guitar. These songs have been described by Canadian music experts as “unusual and unique” and “refreshing and engaging”. Her songs are influenced by contemporary Folk, Medieval music, as well as Pop and Jazz, yet they transcend all categories. According to the Canadian music magazine “Exclaim!” she “answers the question of how Bjork would sound if she were a swamp-boogie queen with a jazz upbringing”. She has enchanted audiences at the London Jazz Festival, as well as support for Emily Loizeau and Sophie Hunger, among many others. Her recordings feature spare acoustic guitar, chirping crickets, and filigree percussive elements. A breezy jazz trumpet delivers the smart accessory to the perky singer, who delights in philosophizing on the beauties of Nature, mysticism and spirits.
