I’m Krisztina Ustinov. I first began playing music with a zither band in a small Hungarian village called Tállya, when I was so little I had to stand on a stool just to reach the table. Music, and a few kind friends along the way, have held my hand ever since.

​

My songwriting journey began years later, when I supported Dr Katalin Szili, then Speaker of Parliament, during her political campaign. I felt the campaign needed more spirit and energy, so we wrote a campaign song. Dr Szili was wonderfully supportive, and we even created a version where she sang. 

Life then became busy, and although melodies stayed in my mind, they had no space and opportunity to grow. Once I settled in my personal life and had a family, the music returned naturally.

These songs span the last twelve years of my life. Each one carries its own story. Click on any tile to discover more.

Before you dive in, I want to acknowledge something important. The melodies, the lyrics, the feelings are all human-written. They came from my heart and my years of living and learning. But AI helped me bring them to life: translating the vocals, the arrangements, the production I had in my head into something real. It opened creative doors I never had chance to access alone. I am deeply grateful for that partnership.

​

AI is an absolute enabler, not a threat.

​

The other indispensable ingredients of this album were my beautiful family and wonderful friends who knowingly or unknowingly at certain parts of my life or throughout, inspired, encouraged, and kept believing in me: Attila Boros, Gabor Kolbe, Melinda Figura, Marosi Zoltán Pierrot, Ron Werber, Ferenc Baja, Katalin Szili dr, Dopeman Pityinger László, Pityinger Péter, Gloria Garcia; Jeremy Conell-Waite.

I hope you enjoy these songs, and perhaps find something within them that resonates with you too.
