   About Kristen Nakasone
Updated: 6.6.08

+ I am 22 years old.
+ Yes. I know I look like I'm only in high school.
+ Music is a huge passion for me.
+ I feel I'm always improving myself.
+ I do plan on recording and releasing a CD *real soon: meaning by next year sometime.* [2 songs down, 8 more to go!]

short bio:

I just graduated UHM, with my degree in elementary education! I am now a highly qualified teacher! - Just waiting for them to send me my license! Music will always be apart of my life, and so will songwriting, and I do plan on continuing what I'm doing with it. =)

I'm a solo performer, but feature friends from time to time. I currently do gigs with the rest of my fellow Oahu Songwriters Group family. There are showcases the last Tuesday of every month, however I don't always play; sometimes just there to support the rest of the songwriters. :) Hopefully you'll be able to come down to one of the shows! =D

My inspiration for songwriting comes from the initial feelings and thoughts that I experience at the time I am writing a new song. Most of it involves love, which to me is one of the strongest emotions we human beings experience on a daily basis. I'm proud and happy to include this emotion in all of my songs, whether it be about discovering love, losing love, or yearning for love. *My view on sharing my music? - It isn't about popularity. It's about loving what I do, and being able to share it with those who love it too.

So keep an eye out for more material, along with glimpses of my life through my music.

Hey Kristen - to answer your question from.... well, almost a year ago - Tyler and I have still been making music.
Tyler will be releasing a new CD as "The Modern Antiques" ...and well I've just been playing songs in my apartment. I hope you finally got that white shirt on in the forest.

Just noticed your status note; yeah, adding piano would be a nice blend. I'm a huge DM fan, so I've been adding synth noises to my songs.
