Kristalis Sotomayor Matos is a Puerto Rican flutist who started learning the flute when she was four-years-old, guided by her father. When she was six years old she began more in depth study at the Escuela Libre de Música de Puerto Rico.

At ten-years-old, she won a competition to play as a soloist with the Symphony Orchestra of Puerto Rico playing Concerto No.2 for Flute by Mozart.

Throughout her early music career, she took flute lessons with two well-known flutists--Emmanuel Pahud and Jeffrey Khaner. Kristalis won a full scholarship to Berklee College of Music at the age of fifteen and started her studies when she was only sixteen. As a classical and jazz flutist during her time at Berklee, Kristalis had the opportunity to play with Grammy®-award winning artists such as Paquito D’ Rivera, Kurt Elling and Tony Succar.

Kristalis is also a Latin Grammy® Cultural Foundation Scholarship recipient and was invited to play at the Latin Grammy® Awards in 2022 in Las Vegas. Kristalis is currently pursuing her master's degree from The Boston Conservatory at Berklee in Flute Performance.
