出身加拿大渥太華的民謠創作樂人、吉他手、喇叭手。少女時期便登上「Winnipeg民謠音樂節」在加拿大與歐陸地區頻繁獨立巡迴演出。

Kyrie深究中世紀吟遊詩人尤其是女性創作她徜徉在文學與歷史中收集故事更寫詩連結當代並以土地、自然為靈感寫出戲劇張力十足的「樂劇」。融合爵士、民謠與古典樂風Kyrie的嗓音時而輕柔舒緩、時而高亢尖銳配合短促氣音與能夠迅速轉頻、翻轉的吟唱她被形容擁有「獨特而引人入勝的魅力」。

Kyrie Kristmanson is a Canadian singer/songwriter, trumpet player, guitarist and scholar of medieval music. She began composing at a young age, touring the Canadian Folk Festival circuit as a teenager and won Best Young Performer’s Award at the Canadian Folk Music Awards in 2008 and the Colleen Peterson Award for song writing in 2009.

 

After releasing her album "Origin of Stars" for the Paris label NØ FØRMAT! in 2010, Kyrie became interested in the music of the trobairitz, female troubadours in Southern France during the 12th and 13th centuries. This prompted her to study medieval music at la Sorbonne, where she wrote a master's thesis devoted to the forgotten melodies of the trobairtiz. This work inspired and informed her latest album, "Modern Ruin" (2015).
