Her earthly rich sensitive vocals sends shivers down your spine while her organic country infused tracks take you an unexpected journey of love won and lost and of personal battles and awakenings. Katrina Bristow was born in Gore, a small country town at the bottom of the south Island of New Zealand. At the tender age of 8 & 10 The Bristow Sisters competed in their first country singing competition. The Bristow Sisters soon started winning awards in and around southland and by the following summer the red falcon 500 could be spotting travelling all over the south island taking the girls and reluctant baby brother James to festival after festival. Katrina loved the stage and thrived on performing at aged 10 she danced in her first of many musicals. At aged 15 Katrina represented Southland at the young entertainer of the year award, and in her final year at school was awarded with Southlands Young Achiever of the Year award for excellence in the performing arts. Katrina left her home town of Gore to attend Otago University where she was awarded a Bachelor of Commerce (Accountancy) and a Diploma for Graduates (Marketing). Katrina was later awarded her Chartered Accountancy qualification. Although working as a Chartered Accountant Katrina still continued to sing, compose and record her music. In 2003 Katrina moved to London. Juggling her work commitments as a Chartered Accountant and her performance commitments has been a bit of a challenge for Katrina but in July 2005 Katrina took the leap and left full time employment to focus on that area of her life which has always brought her such joy and personal fulfilment 'Singing'. In June 2006 was awarded her Diploma in Musical Theatre from the prestigious London Mountview Academy of Theatre arts. Katrina is currently writing and recording material for her debut album...
