Antonina grew up reading fairy tale anthologies, the epic fantasy of Lewis and Tolkien, and Jane Austen. She listened to an eclectic mix of Birdie, Rachmaninoff, the Tangled soundtrack, and Gregorian Chant.  It is this rich cultural  knowledge, combined with her training as a classical pianist, that make Antonina's songwriting so beautiful and memorable.

 

The rich poetry in her songwriting won her "Best Solo Performance" at UCLA's Spring Sing in 2019, where she performed for 8,000 people. After taking a hiatus from music getting lost in the corporate world, Antonina began work in 2025 on her premiere E.P. with producer Jeremy McDonald (Kevin Garrett, Beyonce, Hayden Everett ). She hopes you'll join her in rediscovering the fairy-tale elements of everyday life.
