Career
Konstantin Kersting began learning the violin via the Suzuki method when he was four years old, before picking up bass guitar and double bass in his teens and playing with orchestras and jazz ensembles around his hometown of Berlin.
In 2007, Kersting relocated to Australia as a teenage exchange student and he picked Caloundra on the Sunshine Coast because he wanted to have a quintessentially Australian experience, saying "Growing up in Berlin I didn't really think there was much of a point going to Melbourne or Sydney, I wanted to go somewhere where there was a beach, and where I could surf and do Australian things – or what I thought Australian things were."[1]
Kersting earned a Bachelor of Music from Queensland University of Technology. Kersting commenced working as an in-house sound engineer at Airlock Studios, under the producer Yanto Browning. He picked lessons from nationally and internationally acclaimed producers Paul McKercher, David Schuler, Mirko Vogel, Paul Dempsey and Tom Iansek.[2]
In 2015, Kersting produced the debut extended play Holy Sick by Australian rock band Waax and Snap EP by The Vernons.
In 2017, Kersting co-wrote and produced Mallrat's "Better" which won Best Unpublished Work in the Vanda & Young Songwriting Competition in 2018. Kersting said "Better" was the first song he had ever written with another songwriter saying "I'm extremely grateful that people have heard this song and have resonated with it so deeply".[3]
In May 2018, Kersting was signed to Independent publisher Native Tongue.[3]
In September 2019, Kersting received two nominations at the ARIA Music Awards of 2019 for Tones and I's "Dance Monkey".[4]
