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 various singles and self-directed music videos to much acclaim, and is gearing up to release her highly anticipated debut EP, The Perfect Hire, on June 5th, 2025.
