Acoustic / Alternative / Punk

A veteran of New York's anti-folk scene, Regina Spektor makes quirky, highly eclectic, but always personal music. Born and raised in Moscow until age nine, Spektor listened to her father's bootleg tapes of Western pop and rock as a young child and also learned to play piano. She and her family moved from Russia to the Bronx, where she was immersed in American culture (a...

      She's awesome. Never heard such creative inventive lyrics in my life. Her piano playing is gorgeous and complimented by her beautiful accent which makes her sound even more unique. "Carbon Monoxide","That Time","Us" and "On The Radio" are my personal faves. I love that she is unspoilt by the media and is just a human being, just so genuine. Love her :D xx

      She is far unlike any artist I've ever heard. She has a style completely to herself, which makes her amazing! Her lyrics are unique, and her melodies are addicting. Regins is the best!

      Regina Spektor is perhaps one of the most gifted singer-songwriters and pianists to have appeared on the music scene in the last decade. She's a Russian-born American who possesses a broad vocal range, and she uses the full extent of it. Ever since the release of her Soviet Kitsch album in 2003, she's made people sit up and take notice. But it was her 2006 album Begin to Hope that caused Blender magazine to list her as one of the "Hottest Women of... Rock." If you have any doubts, just listen to her "Fidelity" track, voted by listeners of Sirius Satellite Radio's Left of Center channel as the #1 song of 2006. Her video for "Fidelity" was viewed over 200,000 times in two days on YouTube as well.

      Her lyrics are unlike those of any other performer I've ever heard. Generic is one word you could never use when listening to Regina, because each song in a delicately crafted and genuinely unique piece of art. When a song can honestly make you flashback to a memory because of it's vivid imagery or when it makes you cry because you feel like someone finally gets it, that is amazing. I've only been listening to Regina Spektor for a few weeks, but she has skyrocketed to my favorite artist. I feel like I know her throuhg her music, and that kind of connection is priceless in this buisness.

    Bio
    A veteran of New York's anti-folk scene, Regina Spektor makes quirky, highly eclectic, but always personal music. Born and raised in Moscow until age nine, Spektor listened to her father's bootleg tapes of Western pop and rock as a young child and also learned to play piano. She and her family moved from Russia to the Bronx, where she was immersed in American culture (at the time, hers was the first Russian family in the borough in 20 years). Eventually, Spektor and her family became part of a community that balanced her Russian Jewish roots with her new home's culture. She continued to practice piano anywhere she could, including at her synagogue, until her family got a piano of their own. Spektor further developed her classical piano training by attending the SUNY Purchase Music Conservatory. During her studies, she was exposed to blues and jazz artists, including Billie Holiday, for the first time; these sounds made such an impact on Spektor that they became a big part of her self-released 2001 debut album, 11:11. At the same time, she was also playing gigs anywhere she could in the city, in venues ranging from basements to parties to comedy clubs. With her frequent performances and another self-released album, 2002's Songs, Spektor developed a following that included Alan Bezozi, They Might Be Giants' drummer; he introduced Spektor to the Strokes' producer, Gordon Raphael. Raphael and Bezozi worked with Spektor on her third album, Soviet Kitsch, in New York and London (where she collaborated with the band Kill Kenada). Soviet Kitsch was initially self-released like her other work, but it eventually found a wider release with Sire Records. Tours with the Strokes, Kings of Leon, Mates of State, and the Moldy Peaches' Kimya Dawson further raised Spektor's profile. Tours of the U.K. and the success of "Us" as a single there led to the release of the CD/DVD retrospective Mary Ann Meets the Gravediggers and Other Short Stories early in 2006; that summer, Begin to Hope, her first album of original material for Sire, arrived.
