Kristen merlin the voice biography
•
Born and raised in Hanson, Massachusetts, Kristen Merlin has traveled far and has come a long way. A contestant on both American Idol and The Voice, Kristen talked to New England Country Music about her drive for all genres of music and why she chose country, her new EP ‘Boomerang,’ and her thoughts on the Little Big Town song ‘Girl Crush.’
From as far back as she remembers, Merlin wanted to be a singer. In high school, she participated in musicals and chorus. Merlin was at the top of her class in high school and it was expected of her to attend college. It wasn’t something Merlin wanted to do but decided, “If I’m going to go I’m going to do something I love and I love music so that’s how I ended up doing that.” Merlin attended the University of New Haven in Connecticut and majored in music and sound recording. It was here that Merlin started writing songs. Her major in music production had her continually surrounded by musicians and constantly engaged in jam sessions.
