About the Musician
Singer/songwriter, Kristin Kearns, is hitting Nashville by storm with her powerhouse vocals and fun, upbeat pop songs. Born in Harrisburg, IL, Kearns picked up her first guitar at age four.
By the age of fifteen, she was already penning a song/day, drawing inspiration from her father and the songwriting talents of Stevie Nicks, John Mayer, and Norah Jones. Later, at the young age of eighteen, she began performing her own songs at acoustic shows in local venues in Illinois.
After finishing high school, Kearns moved to Nashville in 2009, TN to pursue music full-time. Very quickly, her initial studio project turned into her forming the pop band, Darling Parade. The response to Kearns' songwriting and pristine vocals gained her and the band notoriety early in her career, with several singles being used commercially.
