Kristen Castro, a singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer, weaves indie pop lyrics with colorful, ambient instrumentation—crafting a reflective, ethereal soundscape that invites listeners to embrace their whole selves while fostering connection and community.
Since the age of ten, Castro has been crafting music transcending genre, fusing folk, Americana, pop, electronic, and country into a sound uniquely her own, reminiscent of artists like LÉON, The Japanese House, and MARO. As a Queer, Mexican American artist, Castro is determined to change the narrative around what it means to dream by sharing her journey of growth and constant evolution.
Castro spent six years touring the country as a founding member and integral instrumentalist for the trio Maybe April. She has shared stages with icons like Bonnie Raitt, Kris Kristofferson, and Gavin DeGraw, and opened for Sarah Jarosz and Brandy Clark. In 2012, she attended GRAMMY Camp—a pivotal moment in her musical journey—and returned as a counselor in 2025, mentoring the next class of aspiring artists.
With an ever-evolving sound and a passion for storytelling, Castro continues to push artistic boundaries, creating music that resonates across generations.
