Rising Stars: Meet Kirstine Lynne

Today we’d like to introduce you to Kirstine Lynne.

Hi Kirstine, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
First off I would like to thank God for getting me where I am today, my story is unfinished but is far from being completed. At a young age of three, my biological father left my life and soon after my stepfather walked into my life and is who I call my dad still to this day. My pawpaw and my dad were the men in my life who helped raise me into the women I am today. My Nana & my mom were the women in my life who helped mold me into a great women. Although growing up my mother & I did not have a great relationship I looked to my Nana as a great role model for me in my life. Now as I am an adult my my mother & I may not have the best relationship but at the end of the day I do love my mom as she will always be my mother.

I grew up in school as an athlete, I played softball and joined the softball team in 7th grade and played up until my freshman year in college. Even though I was an athlete that did not turn me back from attending talent shows in school, auditioning for The Voice at the age of 15 and also auditioning for American Idol later on. As I look back and wish I could play on the field one more time, I wouldn’t think to change my life because of how it has turned out now. While playing softball in high school I received multiple softball scholarships to colleges and decided to play at a local college here in town at Chattahoochee Valley Community College. I played there and had dreams of playing at larger 4 year colleges after my time at CVCC. While playing at CVCC I had the most devastating thing happen that made me rethink my whole life at the time. I lost my bestfriend, my nana and she was someone who I strived to be like as a women everyday. While going to hospital visits and taking care of her along with my pawpaw, I rethought college and did not see a point in my life anymore. My nana was my biggest fan in my life and always wanted to see me succeed. After her death I went down a very dark path and soon found out that I had an addiction to pain pills.

At that point I stopped attending classes in college, my practices & even games. I soon found out that I was going down a very bad path in my life and I knew that I needed to regain control of my life because drugs and alcohol were not the way I needed to continue. Shortly after getting sober my ex boyfriend at the time, who is now my fiancé and I started dating again. After a little time of dating I moved in with him and we started our life as I was working full time and so was he. We had great stable careers and lived in a smaller house which was perfect for us at the time. After dating for about a year and living together we found out we were pregnant. We were both scared, nervous and happy at the same time because we knew we needed to give our baby the best life. After confirming our pregnancy and going to the doctor we found out I was four weeks pregnant. We started looking for houses that would better fit a family rather than our smaller rental house at the time. While being sick everyday was normal, we soon found out our baby had some concerning health issues that we were warned out. We knew God was in control and we prayed about it together everyday that our baby would be healthy.

On April 1st 2019, we went in for a check up on our baby to hear the heartbeat together and see our little one was doing. During the visit we found out our baby’s heartbeat was not where it should be and we were sent to another facility to conduct more testing on the baby. Later that day I was personally contacted by the doctors office by phone and was told our baby no longer had a heart beat. With the help of God, our family & friends my boyfriend & I got through one of the toughest obstacles in our relationship which was the loss of our child. Within a few weeks overtime I relapsed back into the addiction I thought was long gone. I was not myself, I would not come home to my boyfriend, I would stay in bars until they closed and all of this was just to drowned out the pain of the loss of our child. At this point in my life, I blamed myself and wanted to think I was a horrible mother as if their was something I could have done to fix this. My addiction went on to the point that I saw no point in life again and I started to have thoughts of suicide. With the help of my boyfriend Nick I then knew I needed help or I would lose everything in my life including him so I attended rehab. After getting sober in rehab I started doing things in life that would steer me away from wanting to continue bad habits and it included attending therapy once a week, playing my guitar, writing music & spending time with my boyfriend, Nick.

Years passed by and we both had dreams and things we were passionate about and mine has always been music. From a young age I would sing to my grandparents in the living room and write songs to sing to them and they would pretend to be my audience. My music throughout my life and my sobriety have saved me and reeled me back into reality of knowing what strong beautiful women God has intended for me to be.

I started out singing on tiktok just for fun and soon found people who also play music and built friendships. Within the friendships I have made my fan base continued to grow and I started to see myself as an artist.

Now within the past 6 months of strongly perusing my music career I have met amazing artists and musicians, wrote multiple songs, recorded 2 new singles, created a band & recently signed with a distribution publishing label.

At the end of the day I would not be the women I am today without God and fiancé who I started dating at the age of 15. He has pushed me, believed in me and strongly supported my dreams for my music career. I also would like to thank someone who has been another bestfriend to me, most of my fans know her as “Momma Amy” or “Momma Doll face” as she is on every live show I do online or in person. She is known as the back bone to me and helps manage my social media, merchandise and keeps me organized to say the least, She is my bestfriend, like a mother figure to me & my matron of honor in my wedding.

Throughout my life I have learned many obstacles could have knocked me down and I would have never had the chance to experience what I have now. My new single releasing soon is called “Girl She Used To Be” is going to be my first single I will be releasing and also my first song released that I have wrote. The song explains the girl that used to be in my life and how far I have come in my life.

My second single will be released on my wedding day, August 27th of this year and is also a song I wrote with Joe who is good friend of mine in Nashville. This song explains my relationship with my fiancé and the obstacles we have overcome to get to our wedding day and say I Do. I am looking forward to my journey as a country music artist and I am truly blessed for each and every person who support me in any way.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Getting where I am today has not been easy or smooth but I would not regret anything I have gone through to reach this point. As a Christian women I believe God put me through everything I have been through to inspire, touch peoples hearts and make a difference to people. Throughout my addiction, the loss of my baby and miscarriage process and to even my anxiety and depression it has always felt like weights to me that I am carrying because they make it very difficult to continue in life. However I remind myself that I was made to make a difference to someone and prove the people wrong who said I wouldn’t make it. I will use whatever is needed to make a difference to each and every person I come in contact with. I believe through my music I release and my story I will truly help someone who has been through anything similar or someone who just needs a friend. I believe in always having an open communication with my fans and I let them know “it is okay not to be okay” but to keep pushing to overcome whatever mental health or bad situation you may be in. As a young women in the music industry it is easy to give up or not believe in yourself but I always remind myself that I want to be there for the person who may need someone to give them confidence. Miranda Lambert has always been such an inspiration to me and my music career and I hope to make a difference for someone else the way she has done for me.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
As a female country artist, I strive everyday to make a difference with the lyrics I sing, my actions of how I act and the things I do for my fans, family and friends. It seems as though these days that is very hard to come by and hard to find. On a daily bases I consistently am working very diligently to build an amazing image for myself as a young female country artist. I build an uplifting platform on my social media accounts.

I am most proud of the women I have become and the love I have for people to help make a difference. I was once asked what my goal is as an artist & it is to make a difference. If I have a concert with 50,000 people and I touch 1 person that night with the lyrics of the songs I sing then I know I have accomplished my goal for that day.

With the hard work of writing and recording 2 new singles to release this year has been an amazing journey and something I am very proud of. I never thought I would make it to where I am today and that is a blessing itself.

Do you any memories from childhood that you can share with us?
A few of my favorite childhood memories would have to be the times I remember singing to my grandparents and parents anytime I could in the living room to share a song I may have wrote or my favorite Miranda Lambert song at that time. It would also have to be the Christmas I got my first guitar from my parents, I would go out to our playhouse my dad built for my sister and I and I would sing to my karaoke machine and play the guitar as if I was playing on The Grand Ole Opry.

My little sister and I would crank the karaoke machine up as loud as we could and sing until our parents would tell us we needed to come in because it was getting late or we were being to loud.

I loved anything involving family, softball and music in my life and was always looking forward to anything that would include those.
