BIOGRAPHY

Dubbed the Barefoot Soprano by an online following, 21-year-old singer Kristyn Murphy is using her nickname to lace her artistry with a carefree professionalism that she is using to break down barriers between genres, and make music, especially classical music, more accessible to audiences of all types.

“I put my heart and soul into my music. My music is constantly growing and I am a huge fan of trying new things. My newest CD project really is an expression of who I am, even more so than my past projects. I am sure that in years to come each new CD I create will reflect, even more, who I am as an artist and person.” Said the young singer whose sound is similar to that of Josh Groban, and America's Got Talent runner up Jackie Evancho.

“Kristyn Murphy adds a breath of fresh air to revitalise favourites such as 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' and 'Secret Love', and manages to make them her own whilst retaining their timeless quality,” said UK resident Colin Gordon-Farleigh of SHEER JOY MUSIC about Murphy’s CD that features a mixture of standards and newer compositions.

Kristyn recorded her first CD, Sweet Freedom, at the age of 13, with a quartet known as the Center Drive Singers. The CD, which was recorded after the tragic 9/11 events was dedicated to the heroes of America and sold as a fundraiser for the Center Drive Middle School. In 2005 Kristyn recorded her first solo CD, To The Glory of God, as a memento for family and friends. In 2008, Kristyn rallied together some high school friends and recorded a three song patriotic album titled Soul of a Nation. The CD, which Kristyn recorded while her older sister was in Iraq, was given to the soldiers fighting overseas as a very special thank you gift. Kristyn is very happy to present her recording project: Kristyn Murphy, Barefoot Soprano, a CD that serves as an introduction to Kristyn and her music. Kristyn is currently studying business and music in New York.
