"Kristin has been creating music for over thirty years. She grew up in a musical family, and began learning to play the piano before she could read. After visiting her cousins and seeing them play the violin, she wanted to play. She walked around the house with two drum sticks pretending it was a violin and singing in a ""violin voice."" Her parents decided listening to a real violin would probably be better than listening to the ""violin voice."" She began violin lessons at age 5. She and her mom began playing and creating music together as soon as she could play in tune and had learned all the notes in the key of A.She studied piano and violin all through high school and couldn't imagine life without music so she went on to completed a violin performance degree. After her undergraduate degree she completed a master's degree in church music with a violin principle.
