Kristen Lawrence is an American organist/composer/vocalist hailing from Orange County, California. She researches the history and traditions of Halloween and writes music for the autumn season. Keyboard magazine says: "if the Halloween Town of Tim Burton's 'Nightmare Before Christmas' had a resident keyboardist, it would be Kristen Lawrence." Her music is inspired by the music of Danny Elfman, Bach, Nightwish, Tori Amos, and Loreena McKennitt.
