Kyrstyn is a Bay Area based songwriter and producer—a multitalented performance artist creating live shows that blend piano, voice, electronics, and impromptu loops from audience participation.
Her sound blends intricate song-writing with luscious vocal harmonies and vast hard-hitting electro-acoustic soundscapes. Imagine a meld of Imogen Heap, Florence & the Machine, and Joanna Newsom, backed by Air, Plaid, Dead Can Dance, and Apparat. It’s a bit like that. She recently released her first full-length album EMBYRS, and more is on the way.
She has worked with many artists including Auditory Canvas, Lynx, Rena Jones, Lila Rose, Govinda, Kaminanda, Beats Antique, & Akara. Some of her past performance venues include Glade (UK), Lightning in a Bottle, Cafe Du Nord, Fox Theater (Oakland), & the Crystal Ballroom (Portland).
“Keep an eye out for Kyrstyn, hopefully in the era when everything has become about ‘the drop’, she’ll get the fame she deserves.

Zayniac - The Harmony-2011s Most Notable Music-a Reflection
““...nothing prepared me for what I witnessed when I saw her perform at Emrg’n'See in 2009 ... She fucking blew my mind. Kyrstyn is one of the most creative vocalists & innovative pop-electronica artists on the West Coast scene currently."

“Elegant winds of harmonic wisdom...Timeless Beauty ...(~*~)”
Stephen Kaminanda - Kaminanda Music
"Kyrstyn Pixton was the highlight of my Emrgnsee Music Festival 2009. Her improv set blew my mind."
Solovox - Sweet Musix
“'Sometimes flowers grow from the most barren rocks.'
It is a very old and now cliched phrase, but still very true.
In a music industry devoid of meaning and power, there comes young singers, artists, who are unique.
May Krystyn be heard and felt, now, and in the coming years. Her voice is spring after the long winter.
”
James Bravewolf - Green Sun 17
"The voice of angels rides to the depths of your soul on atmospheric beats of revelation. Light and dark are flawlessly merged with no conflict of duality in divine perfection. Her message is strong, inspiring and nectar sweet. TUNE IN, TURN ON & ENJOY THE RIDE!"
Louise Sharpe - Lulu's Chocolate
