Kerstin is an up-and-coming singer-songwriter whose debut EP, Rain and Blind Spots, introduces her as a fresh and powerful voice in the music world. Originally from Austria and now based in Sweden, her music draws deeply from her personal journey of self-discovery, resilience, and empowerment. A mother and advocate for women’s rights, Kerstin’s songs explore vulnerability and strength, inspiring listeners to embrace their own transformations.

The song was mixed by Grammy award winning George Murphy and mastered by Grammy Award winning Andrew Tulloch.
