Pittsburgh-based singer/songwriter Heather Kropf grew up in the Pacific Northwest. She studied classical piano and fine art, but became interested in popular music while working at AAA radio station WYEP. She released her first album, Sky, in 2000. What Else Is Love followed in 2005, and after building up a following on the Pittsburgh music scene, she released her third album, Hestia, in 2009. It contained new songs and re-recordings of songs from her previous albums. ~ William Ruhlmann
