I have a unique jazz crooner’s voice; please take a listen to see if I fit your style! I am great at singing with any accompanist and harmonizing on the fly with any singers. My specialty is a capella, as I grew up performing with my family of 8. From jazz crooning to classical piano background music, I have a variety to offer for almost any event. I can sing as a soloist to add to your montage, or I can accompany myself on piano. I can also play some of my original piano pieces that would be classified as contemporary jazz. I would love to enhance your event with my gift of music.
Christina sang at my wedding mass! It was everything I hoped it would be and more. We had several guests complement the music too. Her voice and piano skills are absolutely incredible. To top it off, she is full of joy and absolutely delightful to work with. I highly recommend Christina!
Response from Christina Stur (Praetzel) Singer/Vocalist, Composer, Pianist:
It was a pleasure to provide the music for your event. Many blessings to you in your marriage!
Christina easily coordinated with the staff to organize the wedding music event at the church. She was very flexible and was willing to talk on the phone with my daughter and the music coordinator. She was very pleasant during the entire event. She arrived early to practice before the wedding.
Christina’s singing was beautiful. Many guests commented on how beautiful the singing was. Perfect choice!!!
Response from Christina Stur (Praetzel) Singer/Vocalist, Composer, Pianist:

Thank you, Marilise! It was a pleasure to be a part of your big day. You were beautiful and all of your guests were so kind! Best wishes for your marriage. :)
Christina sang for a song during my wedding ceremony in September. She was prepared and clearly rehearsed to help make my special day lovely with her vocal skills! Christina sang in a group of other vocalists, but she worked very hard to construct her harmony, adding the right amount of life to the piece. She has a professional demeanor and is eager to accommodate your style and desire of sound! Would absolutely invite her to sing for a special event again:)

I would love to be the singer/vocalist for your event. I can join any other musician.
If you would like, I will perform all of my completed originals, which include voice and my own piano accompaniment.
You can request your favorite genre. My favorite is Jazz.
I can play piano background music.
I can sing and accompany myself on the piano.
Singing is my passion. I love being the main vocalist with jazz band or pianist, as well as singing in harmony in a small a capella group. Just send me a message to see if I would be a good fit for you!
I have my own microphone, amplifier, and keyboard. (But I always prefer a real piano!)

I always loved to listen to Cleveland's 91.5 FM, so I would have to say that June Christy, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Linda Lawson, and others have had a large influence on how and what I like to sing.
My other favorite station is Classical 104.9, which is what inspires me for every new classical piece I learn. My favorite is Rondo Alla Turca.
I prefer access to a piano, but I have a keyboard if this is not possible.
