About Kristen

Kristen Miller is a Billboard Charting Cellist and Shamanic Sound Healer. Classically trained from an early age, Kristen discovered non-classical improvisation as a means of self-expression. She began writing her own compositions which led to three solo releases, all of which charted on college and community radio across North America. After releasing the duo album Winter Loves Company (2010) with pianist/composer Tom Eaton, Kristen felt compelled to begin writing New Age style music. 

Miller was the cellist on Ryan Judd’s guitar and cello record An Open Sky (2018) which won a Zone Music Reporter Award and spent over a year on the Billboard Top 10 Chart for New Age. The duo’s latest recording Soaring Together (2021) has been receiving global airplay and stellar reviews. In addition to solo playing, Kristen also enjoys work as a session cellist for artists like What Time is it, Mr. Fox?, Vance Gilbert, and Irma Thomas, and enjoys teaching cello to students of all ages. 

Kristen’s latest collaboration with pianist Alise Ashby,
”The Gift” (Heart Dance Records, 2024) was hailed by New Music Alert as “a testament to the transformative power of music”. Kristen is the recipient of several awards and scholarships including Jam Magazine’s Female Artist of the Year, and the Zara Nelsova scholarship for excellence in cello playing. Kristen lives on the north shore of Massachusetts.
