Kirsti Manna’s 5 week Billboard #1 smash hit, “Austin” introduced Blake Shelton to country radio. She is an actress with numerous credits that include creating and starring in her own national children’s TV show, “Kirsti’s Manor” that was viewed by 34 million children.
Rarely does one find a true renaissance artist, someone whose talent transcends a single genre. Kirsti Manna possesses a versatility found in few artists. She is a professional speaker, accomplished actress, writer/producer, singer-songwriter, pianist as well as a multifaceted entertainer.
As a motivational performer, Kirsti connects with her audiences through her infectious energy and enthusiasm, quick wit and spontaneity. Universal emotions and realities of life depicted in her message and delivered with her powerful songs never fail to move, inspire and create an uplifting experience.
In addition to serendipitous writing sessions with many of Nashville’s finest songwriters, Kirsti’s belief in children as our greatest resource inspired her to create, produce and star in Kirsti’s Manor, for T.C.T. Television. A ‘Tracey Ullman Show for kids’, it was an educational, musical, fun-house full of wacky characters portrayed by Kirsti, but nearest to Kirsti’s heart is Tina Tickle-ini, Kirsti’s “alter ego.” Kirsti also created “Tina Tickle-ini Gets Giggles and Goosebumples”, a fun, educational DVD which teaches children through music about their bodies. Also available is the accompanying multi-lingual (English, Spanish, French) coloring/activity book and CD with 10 original songs about the body. She recently finished writing and producing the debut CD “Sopo” for the high energy pop ‘tweener’ girl-group iCande (www.icandemusic.com). She is also the co-writer/co-publisher for Big & Rich’s latest single, “Loud” (Warner Brothers/Nashville).
One of her latest endeavors is her launch of a online membership/subscriptionservice called “Songwriter Girl”, where Kirsti shares her knowledge and insight regarding writing songs and the ins of outs of the music business.
The charismatic energy and love of life, of creating and performing…and of people, is what you experience when you meet Kirsti. In front of an audience or across the table over coffee…Kirsti Manna is like the best spaghetti sauce…it’s all in there!
