LIGHT THROUGH PART I | APRIL 17

Kristin Carver Smith is a performing artist, podcast host, publicist and producer. In 2024, Kristin survived a mental health emergency that altered the course of her life. As a result, she stepped back from her career as a publicist, and turned to songwriting, music and therapeutic programming to heal. Now, Kristin is returning to the spotlight, opening up about that experience on her podcast Just & Joyful with Kristin Carver Smith and her debut album, LIGHT THROUGH.

LIGHT THROUGH PART I

Releasing April 17, 2026, LIGHT THROUGH Part 1 is a progression of light — lyrically, visually and sonically. Kristin takes listeners through her journey of breaking down, breaking through, and tracing all the “light through” moments on the path to recovery.
