About






Kia Ora! Ko Kristie Addison taku ingoa.

I am a free lance composer and musician based in Auckland New Zealand. Welcome to my online portfolio, you can find samples of my work on the pages of this website. Please contact me on info@kristieaddison.com if you require a quote for your project.

A bit about me and music…

I started piano lessons when I was 6 years old and began to write music the same year (my first song was about a pony named Bubbles). I played classical piano for 8 years gaining grades through Trinity College London, and ANZCA. I performed yearly at the Tauranga Performing Arts Competitions Society, often playing duets with my younger sister.

When I was 14 I stopped playing piano and learned to play guitar and bass guitar. I also experimented with violin, double bass, and trumpet. I played in various school bands and fell in love with guitar as an instrument I could really write with.

It wasn’t until I was 21 that I was finally brave enough to take my singing out of the shower and into the real world. I sang and played guitar in a band called Amperzahn for 4 years. We are now on indefinite hiatus, but very occasionally we crawl out of the woodwork to play a reunion gig.

2008 has been my year of returning to the piano. After ten years of not playing, remembering and relearning what I know has been a truly enjoyable challenge. This year has also been the year for me to start taking my composing seriously and I have written music for several exciting projects.
