About Regina Spektor
Born in Moscow, 32 year old Spektor emigrated with her family to the United States in 1989 and studied classical music with Sonia Vargas until her late teens. An accomplished pianist, she started writing songs at the age of 16 and was soon gaining a reputation with the scene in New York’s East Village. She uses the piano as her partner in telling stories through song, and for many years has preferred to play exclusively on Steinway pianos.
