Live Piano Music by Kristina

Based in Renton WA

My name is Kristina. I am a pianist, who is deeply enthusiastic about spreading the love and joy that music brings. I have been playing the piano since I was a child. Playing the piano has been a journey that has captivated my soul and ignited an intense passion for music. I studied piano at a music school for 7 years. 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 easy listening contemporary, with a strong focus on beloved classics and all-time favorites. 
I also perform my original music, samples of which are available in the Audio Playlist section of my profile.

As both a performer and composer, I create original music that draws inspiration from my own life experiences and feelings. My music ranges from highly melodious to upbeat pieces, featuring memorable, catchy tunes, and each melody is carefully crafted to create a moving experience for the audience. Whether I'm performing my own original pieces or interpreting beloved classics, I bring the same passion and artistry to every note. 

Beyond the realm of music, I spent many years working as a software engineer, a career grounded in a Master's degree in Applied Mathematics & Computer Science. 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.
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.

If there isn't a piano available on-site, I can provide my own digital piano, stand, and an extension cord to ensure we can position the piano exactly where you'd like it. The piano has high quality, beautiful sound. For large venues, I also supply a dedicated sound system to ensure the music is heard clearly and beautifully throughout the space.
