A schooled musician and seasoned performing songwriter, Kristin Cifelli took the music scene by storm in 1999 with the release of her debut album, Silver Bowl, to critical acclaim, earning her a Boston Music Award Nomination. Her second release, So Long My Love, brought her increased notoriety, with a Nomination for Best Album and a win for Best Song ("Show Them") in the Independent Music Awards in 2006. Early in 2002, Kristin contributed her song, "Martyr", on the Sony/Heavy Rotation Records compilation, Shekinah 13 Artists, which celebrates the diverse female alumni of Berklee College of Music. The compilation is being distributed by Sony/Epic Records, with part of the proceeds going to help young artists at Berklee College of Music. Upon the release of Shekinah 13 Artists, Kristin was featured on the Oxygen Network's Daily Remix, VH1's Jump Start, Billboard Magazine, Boston Globe and the Associated Press. As both a self-made artist and music educator, Kristin's ability to communicate her ideas, identify musical strengths, and guide developing talent toward their writing aspirations are just a few of many reasons she is revered and adored by the We Are Listening community.
