Kirsten Izer

Born in New Jersey to visual artist parents, Kirsten Izer always felt a deep need to tell stories. At age 10 she picked up the guitar and she's been writing her own songs ever since. After working as a music journalist and publicist in NYC for outlets like Billboard, Izer relocated to Los Angeles to begin telling her own story as an artist. She soon met Randall Belculfine (Tones And I, Tanerélle), and the pair began working on a collection of breakup songs inspired by a toxic workplace relationship riddled with complicated power dynamics, which would later become her critically acclaimed debut EP, The Perfect Hire. A genre bender, Izer followed up her EP with a haunting indie folk single called "Anyone But Me," which has garnered widespread support from fans and press outlets, including LADYGUNN Magazine, EARMILK, Atwood Magazine and Get Some Magazine. Izer has been compared to the likes of Hayley Williams, Alanis Morisette and Kate Bush, and with good reason. She crafts stories with intention and with a sound uniquely her own, transforming specific memories or situations into authentic emotional experiences for the masses. “[Kirsten Izer] has, very powerfully, and thrillingly, her own sound.” -SPIN Magazine "Through honesty and emotional precision, Izer turns discomfort into connection and confession into art.” - LADYGUNN
