Jersey shore born and raised Kiersten grew up around music. She started playing guitar in high school, and avidly listened to alternative, rock, pop, and folk music growing up. However, it wasn’t until the pandemic that she found her passion for writing music. Before lockdown Kiersten was strictly a shower singer and bedroom guitarist. Something flipped the switch in 2020, all that time spent inside drove Kiersten to start writing her own music. She became a student at Lakehouse in September 2020 and took lessons in the foundations of music production and songwriting. Here she found that she was an extremely prolific writer, composing 100+ songs in her first year of writing. By writing multiple songs a week she honed her skills quickly, songwriting became part of her everyday routine. Kiersten sang her first live set in April 2021, and now performs regularly.  In November of 2021 started working on a solo project under the name “Kiersten Blue” , releasing her first song in January 2022. Kiersten plans to continue releasing a song a month, working with different producers and session musicians to experiment with her sound. Along with working a full time job she continues to play live shows as much as she can around Asbury Park and the tristate area. By trade Kiersten is a swimwear designer, using her background in design to create her own cover art and promotional material.
