A girl and a piano. What else is new? Well that would be Kristilyn Robertson. Born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, Kristilyn has been honing her craft for the last 8 years. Not claiming to be a piano prodigy, Kristilyn started to play piano when she was in Grade 11 after hearing by Tori Amos: "I always loved her energy and her wit onstage. She truly is a remarkable performer." While in university, Kristilyn recorded her very first album, entitled , which tells stories of a girl and her sound, Superman, and ill-fitted movie stars. She was lucky to have the opportunity to recruit many other university students to play on the album - alas, it is their horns, strings, and guitars that helped the overall sound: "I originally thought about recording a piano and voice album, but I also wanted to see how well my own arrangements for instruments would come into play on the CD." The album was a big hit on campus. Originally it was going to be just a small album, for her music capstone, but Kristilyn wanted to take it a step further. So, she stepped out on stage and, for the last 2 and a half years, has been playing live and promoting her album both live and online.
