The young singer-songwriter, producer, multi -instrumentalist grew up in London saturated with the pivotal sounds of Motown and 70's Disco. "We had a piano in the living room in the town house I grew up in," Kirsten remembers. "Unlike most kids who would watch TV, when my mother left the house I would just bang on the piano. I played piano basically as soon as I could touch it. I was one of those kids that was always singing, you couldn't shut me up."

Kirsten sung in numerous different choral groups throughout her high school years, both in and out of school, usually working with at least three different choirs at a time with rigorous practice and performance schedules.

Kirsten went on to study History at The University of London where she was "bored out of her mind." So, she set off from London to San Francisco. "San Francisco seemed to have this perpetual hangover from the 60s counterculture that I was intrigued by," she observes, "plus it was the furthest place from England where they spoke English and I could hang out. Nobody knew me. Nobody understood me. People thought I was from Iceland. It was great."

She ended up living in a garage in communal warehouse space with a recording studio next door. "Basically," she recalls, "I amassed various instruments in my loft space and made music." Kirsten found living in San Francisco "a little bit like being an animal from the desert trying to survive somewhere where it's very wet. I missed being in a more chaotic metropolitan city similar to the one I'd grown up in."

So Kirsten Price came to New York City for the very first time in early September 2001, mere days before the world changed on 9/11. She crashed in the apartment of "a friend of a friend" and is still based in Brooklyn.
