Kristen Lee Sergeant

Kristen Lee Sergeant is an NYC based singer and songwriter who creates worlds within her songs, with lyrics that “are worthy of a stage musical” (All About Jazz). Fusing her adventurousness as a jazz singer, lyricism inspired by the stage, and a love of 70’s rock, her work is conceptual, dramatic and intelligent, spanning themes like descent (“Falling” TigerTurn2022), fire (“Smolder” Plastic Sax, 2018) and the forthcoming “Intoxication” which explores the terrain of desire, love and of course, wine (a subject she knows well, having worked as a sommelier.) Her unique perspective and sound, fusing jazz, theater, classical and rock worlds, has won her an audience that savors “gorgeous legit vocals” (DownBeat) and a sensibility likened to “Tom Waits minus the growl.” (MidWest Jazz Record).
