Meet Kristi Lowe
Rising South African artist, Kristi Lowe, has cultivated a sound that transcends genres. A gifted singer-songwriter, Kristi has spent the last three years crafting a unique fusion of jazz, R&B, pop, and soul, drawing from legends like Etta James, Amy Winehouse, and Olivia Dean. Her rich, soulful voice and raw, authentic style set her apart as one of South Africa’s most exciting emerging artists.
​
From an early age, Kristi’s passion for music was evident, and it has only deepened through her life experiences. Her songwriting reflects an emotional depth far beyond her years, offering an unflinching exploration of universal themes such as grief, love, and healing. This raw honesty has become the heart of her artistry.
​
Kristi’s music journey began at the age of fifteen with the release of her first single in collaboration with the band Goodluck, a project born out of a deeply personal mission: to save the life of her sister, Jenna Lowe. After Jenna’s passing, Kristi stepped back from the spotlight to heal. When she returned to music, it was with renewed purpose, pouring her emotions into the poignant single "Take Me Away," a heartfelt reflection on loss and the path to recovery.
​
Since then, Kristi has continued to push the boundaries of her music, collaborating with talented producers and musicians across South Africa and performing on stages both locally and internationally. She has firmly established herself as an artist who believes in the power of music to connect, heal, and inspire.
As Kristi moves forward, she remains true to her genre-blending style, creating music that is uniquely her own. Stay tuned for the much-anticipated release of her debut album in 2025!
