Live Piano Music by Kristina

Based in Renton WA

My name is Kristina. I am a pianist who is passionate about spreading the love and joy that music brings. I have been at the keys since I was a child, and the seven years I spent in music school really stayed with me. What started as formal lessons turned into a lifelong love for the instrument. 
My musical interests are quite broad. I perform a wide spectrum of musical styles, including classical, pop, boogie-woogie, Argentine tango, hit ballads, blues, and soft contemporary, with a strong focus on beloved classics and all-time favorites. 

Beyond performing, I love to create music. As both a performer and composer, I have always believed that music should tell a story. I put a bit of my own story and my own feelings into every piece I write. My original music ranges from soft, melodic tunes to more energetic rhythms. Whether I am performing my own works or interpreting beloved classics, I put the same heart into every note, simply hoping to create a connection with anyone who is listening. 
Samples of my work are available in the Media secion of my profile.

Besides music, I have a background in software engineering. I hold a Master’s degree in Applied Mathematics & Computer Science and worked in the field for many years. It might seem different from music, but this background in thinking logically actually helps me a lot with my musical creativity.

I perform at senior living communities, corporate events, weddings and parties.

If there isn't a piano available, I can provide my own professional gear.

Below is a frequently performed sample arrangement chosen from my repertoire. The final set order is flexible and adaptive; my approach is to read the audience's energy and adjust the song order to match the atmosphere of the event.
