Born blind, Kirsten started her musical career twinkling the ivories at the tender age of 6. She branched out from this and starting singing some memorable classics like ‘Rockin Robin’ and Taylor Swifts ‘Shake it Off’. Finally after a number of years torturing her parents she began singing lessons under Greta Claringbold in 2014 who began developing her unique voice. After a number of years with Greta, she moved on to Helen Swan where she gained a credit in her AMEB Certificate of Performance exam.

Kirsten first performance after changing to classical music was the Opera Australia Rising Stars Concert in 2014. In 2015 she performed in Judith Clingan ‘Songs of Passion and Compassion,’ the High Court Christmas Party and was a chorister in Canberra Choral Society’s production of Messiah. In 2016 she played Cosette in the Gungahlin College production of Les Miserables and again a chorister in the Canberra Symphony Orchestra production of Beethoven Symphony No 9. A regular with the Gondwana Choirs since 2015, Kirsten is well on the way to realising her dream of performing at the Opera House
