Description:

Regina Spektor discusses her journey from performing in New York’s anti-folk scene to touring with the Strokes and releasing her breakthrough album Soviet Kitsch on Sire Records. Despite early struggles—self-releasing her music, maxing out her father's credit card to tour, and playing gigs across a wide range of venues—she reflects on the serendipity of being noticed by the Strokes and their producer, which led to broader recognition. Spektor addresses her influences, including her classical training and newfound love for David Bowie, and discusses her songwriting process, which combines disciplined work ethic with spontaneity. She also humorously deflects comparisons to other artists, embracing her unique path while remaining open to evolving her musical style and preparing for her next album.
