KRISTIN HARTMAN. Bio. Kristin Hartman was born in VÃ¤sterÃ¥s, Sweden. She moved to the United States at a young age and lived in North and South Carolina before she moved to California. Hartman received her BA in Studio Art from California State University, Sacramento, where she was presented with the Deanâs Award in the College of Arts and Letters.
Thom now lives in Malibu, California, a strikingly beautiful place 50 miles north of Los Angeles, fringed by mountains and coastline. I wish, she said recently, I could communicate to people what a beautiful part of the world it is.. She lives with her partner Joe Bonamassa, the virtuoso blues guitarist. She got her Green Card this summer but cannot apply for citizenship until she has lived in America for five years. One of the strongest tracks on her new album is Love You Like a Lunatic: no prizes for guessing who it's about.
