Probably no one has had her name misspelled and mispronounced as often and in so many ways as singer-songwriter Kirstin Maldonado. Maldonado takes it in stride, 
Recently, I watched an interview with Maldonado, and the woman conducting the interview introduced Maldonado as “Kristy Maldano.” My reaction: “Really? You couldn’t get either name correct?” I would have thought that a basic requirement for an interviewer would be to know the name of the person being interviewed. But I would have been wrong about that.
The worst mangling of Maldonado’s name that I’ve seen to date has to be “Kinston McDonald.” Kinston. McDonald. Wow. I suppose that given the current state of education in this country, it must count for something that someone at least got her initials correct.
Best known for her work with three-time Grammy-winning a cappella super-group Pentatonix, Maldonado just released her debut solo single and music video Break A Little. Maldonado wrote and recorded the song and designed the music video. Her debut EP is set to be released this summer.
