biography
If you would have asked Kristin Lee what she wanted to be when she was a little girl, you would get the same answer you would today, performer.
Her father Kieran, an accomplished performer, has always been the biggest musical influence in her life. Coming from a performing family, music has always been a huge part of her life.
Kristin Lee grew up in the small town of Fergus, Ontario, Canada, performing on stage from the time she was 5 years old. "People are drawn to her on and off the stage, they always have been, her spirit is infectious" That sentiment is the common thoughts of her family and many loyal fans.
At 18 she moved to Toronto to pursue her dreams. She sang in clubs and taverns all over Ontario for four years. She was also a finalist in the Southwestern Ontario Youth Talent Search, Northern Ontario Female Open Contest, Ontario Open Country Singing Contest and many more.
Kristin Lee took a leave from performing when her son was diagnosed with Autism. Like many performing mothers she had to put her dreams on hold for a time, to make sure that her son had everything that he needed.
A few years later she moved back to her hometown of Fergus, and with the help of her amazing family started performing again.
With her son doing better than ever, it gave Kristin Lee the comfort to be able to move forward.
In June 2007 Kristin Lee was lucky enough to get to know the phenomenal legendary songwriter/producer Charlie Craig.
In October Kristin Lee along with her father Kieran, traveled to Nashville to record at E.M.I. Studios. Working with Charlie and Engineer Chris Latham was an incredible experience for Kristin. Brittany Allyn and Tony King topped off the great week with the most amazing background vocals to add to the tracks.
When asked about what is next as she pursues her dreams Kristin Lee says, " All I want to do is perform, and sing music that I love, and hope that everyone else will love it too. When I am up on stage there is no better feeling than that. It is when I am closest to God because that is where he meant to put me, and I thank him everyday for letting me live my dream"
Kristin Lee is currently focused on songwriting and learning the fiddle, and of course always performing.
She is also very involved in the Autism society and Mental Disability awareness.
Kristin Lee is beautiful inside and out, she is warm, kind and never too busy make you laugh, talk your ear off...to those who know her, or to give a hug just when you need one.
Keep watching there is nothing but stars in the future for this small town country girl.
