Kirsten Izer is no stranger to channeling her creative energy in unique ways. Initially starting out her music industry career as a publicist in New York City, she quickly realized she’d be happier exploring her own voice as a solo artist. Since relocating to Los Angeles, she’s built a name for herself as a singer-songwriter and performer, most recently dropping her debut EP, The Perfect Hire.

Kirsten sat down with Marilyn for a candid conversation about utilizing her PR skills to advance her music career, finding inspiration on social media and the importance of making a big impact, regardless of the audience size in front of you.
