Kirstyn Johnson

Rooted in confessional songwriting and an indulgent exploration of self, Kirstyn Johnson’s music lives somewhere between nostalgia and reality.
Her career path has been anything but linear. A Berklee College of Music graduate and one half of songwriting and production duo Good Grief, Kirstyn built her career behind the scenes, writing and producing alongside artists including Nelly Furtado, Fefe Dobson, Rêve, Sofia Camara and Forest Blakk. Her credits include co-writing “Take Me Down” from Nelly Furtado’s 7 and “Tongue” from Rêve’s JUNO-winning Saturn Return, while her work as a musician has taken her from studio sessions to stages across North America and Europe. 
Her next chapter begins with “For The Story,” a pessimistic love song from a girl who grew up believing in happily ever after. The single sets the stage for a larger body of work that explores the uncomfortable distance between the lives we imagine and the ones we actually live.
