The Soviet pianist who became a US pop star
Daily Comfort ZoneListen to David Krauss’s latest guest on Speaking Soundly the singer-songwriter and comedian Regina Spektor, a classically trained Soviet immigrant who rose from have-nothing poverty to the heights of celebrity.
Before long she was opening for the English pop band Keane and drawing high praise from Kate Bush.
‘I thought I would be a classical musician, or I wouldn’t have music in my life,’ she tells David. ‘I was struggling.’
Listen here.
Just fascinating.
I LOVE her!
She’s a remarkable artist.
I am a big fan since years!
