Kirsten Izer
Kirsten Izer has been writing songs since she was 11-years-old. Born in New Jersey to visual artists parents, Izer has always felt a deep need to tell stories. Her father taught her the chords to Pink Floyd's "Vera", the same chords she used to teach herself a Taylor Swift song. Since then, her inspiration has expanded to the likes of Kate Bush, St. Vincent, Caroline Polachek and more; it is still that same juxtaposition that shows up in her work today—an equal amount of affection for an instrumental break, but also a well-told story.
After a five year stint in New York as a music publicist and journalist, Izer decided it was time to tell her own story as an artist and packed her bags for Los Angeles. She’s released three singles and self-directed music videos to much acclaim, and is gearing up to release her latest single, “You” on February 27th, 2025.

Former music publicist decides to make music instead. Good move!
Written by Bob Guccione Jr. | May 25, 2023 - 9:00 am
Kirsten Izer, who was “always making music, since I was 11 years old,” started her career at 18 as a publicist for indie artists. After a while she decided to become a journalist, and interviewed “hundreds of artists.” Somewhere along the line she decided to accept her long-destined fate and become one of those artists she and everyone else around her were, in one way or another, writing about.
She currently lives in LA and, smartly, because music is a tough, cold business, still has a day job, marketing audio brands. She grew up on the east coast, in New York and New Jersey.
