Kerstin Jeppsson föddes 1948 och valdes in i Föreningen Svenska Tonsättare 1977 som andra kvinna i modern tid.

Hon har alltid rört sig vid sidan av huvudfåran i den nya svenska musiken, kanske beroende av hennes ovanliga studiegång, stilistiska trolöshet och en mångfald av andra intressen. Med sin livsbejakelse och oaffekterade egenart försöker hon skildra och tolka världen och existensen genom sin musik.

Hon studerade till musiklärare vid Kungl. Musikhögskolan i Stockholm 1968-73 och utbildade sig dessutom till sångsolist, sångpedagog och dirigent. Samtidigt studerade hon komposition för den lyrisk-romantiske expressionisten Maurice Karkoff. På hans inrådan fortsatte hon sina studier vid konservatoriet i Krakow, Polen och studerade komposition för Krzysztof Penderecki och Krzysztof Meyer samt dirigering för Jozef Radwan med diplom 1977. Hon avslutade sin utbildning vid California Institute of the Arts i Valencia, Kalifornien med studier i komposition för Mel Povell och Morton Subotnik och sin examen Master of Fine Arts 1979. Hon avlade även fil.kand-examen vid Stockholms Universitet 1976 i musikvetenskap, pedagogik och socialantropologi.

Hennes produktion omfattar främst orkester- och kammarmusik samt en stor del vokalmusik, då röstens utrycksmöjligheter ligger henne varmt om hjärtat. Hennes musik har framförts vid konserter och festivaler både i Sverige och utomlands; i Stockholm bl a i Berwaldhallen och Stockholms Konserthus. Hon har komponerat många beställningsverk och hennes musik finns bl a inspelat på CD-skivor.
