KRISTI MARTEL

Award-winning songwriter and avant-soul piano diva Kristi Martel's sweet presence and fearless songwriting endear audiences nationwide. Her piano playing combines her love of blues dissonance and syncopation with her classical training. Her powerful voice is at once sweet and bitter, emotional and visionary, articulating prayers and quirky autobiographical narratives in the same breath. Kristi's forthcoming album, "Sacred Whore," is more jazz and soul, and focuses on the universal in our human experience and our need for inner and world peace.
