Dazed & Confused

March 1, 2004

Description:

This article details Regina Spektor’s journey from her classical music upbringing in Moscow to her rise in the anti-folk scene and eventual breakthrough while touring with The Strokes and Kings of Leon. Regina shares how her discovery of artists like Radiohead and Tom Waits in her early twenties helped shape her eclectic musical style. Her self-released album caught the attention of producer Gordon Raphael, leading to the creation of her critically acclaimed album Soviet Kitsch and an invitation to join The Strokes' Room On Fire tour. Despite challenges like funding her own travel and facing skeptical crowds, Regina grew as a performer with the encouragement of her tourmates. Now back in New York, she reflects on the whirlwind of touring and looks forward to creating new music, despite her “gypsy way of living.”
