Snake

A shy, meticulous outsider whose art is fiercely her own.

Regina Spektor is deeply introverted and private, famously resistant to the mainstream music industry, and obsessively devoted to her singular, idiosyncratic craft — blending classical training, spoken word, anti-folk, and theatrical storytelling in ways no one else does. She recoils from celebrity culture and rarely courts publicity, letting her meticulously constructed songs speak entirely for themselves. Like the snake, she is a misunderstood outsider with a low profile and a quietly vicious artistic wit, as heard in songs like 'Samson,' 'Us,' and 'Folding Chair.'
