Trotty began playing on the Austin music scene with her debut performance at Austin’s Skylark Lounge to a standing room only crowd. "It was great to look out and see friends, family and supporters.  This is what I was meant to do, and I’m going to do it as long as possible.”  She has since performed at a variety of venues including Kenny Dorham’s Backyard, The Salvage Vanguard Theater, the Dedrick Hamilton House, Luna, Sahara Lounge, The Long Branch Bar, Carousel Lounge, Dozen Street Bar and art galleries.  

          A native of East Texas, Kristin currently resides in the Austin/Round Rock area, where she can be seen performing with a variety of talented musicians. When not performing, she can be found spending time with friends and family, reading, cooking and writing. She is also preparing material for her freshman album.
