Soaring power and delicate nuances make Kristin Berardi one of Australia's most gifted jazz singers. She is universally acknowledged as a vocalist of rare talent and technique that continues to astonish, and endear herself to, audiences around the world.

Originally from Mackay, in far northern-eastern Australia, she now resides in Lucerne, Switzerland, a staff member at the HSLU - Institute of Jazz and Folk Music.
