Kjersti Long (pronounced care-stee) is something of a wunderkind. At the young age of 14 she started writing and releasing original songs, while at the same time developing an idea for a musical. Those songs and that idea are now the music bed and inspiration for what has turned into a full fledged musical titled, Little Piece Of You: An Atypical Musical, which premiered on London’s West End at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in 2024. Kjersti is also performing in the show, as one of the main leads. In addition to her duties with the musical, Long continues to write and release music and hone her craft. Now 18, she was recently accepted into the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, after she received a full scholarship to attend their Aspire: Music Performance Intensive program this past Summer.
