Labeled a rock prodigy at the age of 14 years old, Kjersti Long has already made a name for herself. Writing her first song Rollercoaster at the age of 9, the talented songwriter and singer was headlining at the iconic rock club The Bitter End in New York City by the time she turned 11. She’s performed at such notable venues as The Apollo and House of Blues. Recently she released her first single Not Your Princess.

During our conversation, it didn’t take long for me to be impressed by the maturity of this young woman. Not only does she have a good head on her shoulders, but she’s also wildly entertaining to listen to. I couldn’t help but laugh at her story of how her single Not Your Princess came to be. Just from talking to Kjersti, it’s clear she’s a gifted storyteller and I’m excited to hear her talent in future songs.

It’s refreshing to learn someone with her gifts wants to use them to empower other young women. She realizes her battles with anxiety are nothing to be ashamed of. Despite the age gap, I found her stories relatable on a human level. Frankly, many adults could learn a thing or two from this rising star,

As much as I enjoyed talking to this singing prodigy, I was initially hesitant. It had nothing to do with Kjersti but how we as adults treat kids these days. We become dismissive when a teen experiences heartbreak. Rather than being supportive we often impose reality checks, especially when young adults talk about hopes and dreams. I found myself very self-aware as to not mention my own experiences to her. Just because I had no clue what I wanted out of life at 14 doesn’t mean she doesn’t. And let’s be honest, after listening to Kjersti, it’s clear her maturity is well beyond what mine was at that age.

I, for one, look forward to following Kjersti’s career and seeing what becomes of this young musician. She has a talented future ahead of her, not just in her music but also as an inspiration and role model for young women everywhere.
