KESTRINA

KESTRINA is a Rome-based singer, songwriter, and vocalist whose music is rooted in emotional movement rather than fixed genre. Her sound seamlessly blends pop, R&B, and electronic production with cinematic textures, layered harmonies, and subtle influences from hip-hop and folk, creating a style that feels both intimate and expansive. Drawing inspiration from artists like Alicia Keys, Beyoncé, Yebba, Rosalía, Olivia Dean, RAYE, and Billie Eilish—each defined by their versatility, emotional authenticity, and unmistakable artistic identity—she embraces the same freedom in her own work, blending soulful songwriting with modern, exploratory production. As a topliner and vocal arranger, she is highly focused on melody, hooks, and vocal construction, often directing her own vocal production through improvisation and harmonic exploration. In collaboration, she is open, precise, and creatively intuitive—bringing both strong artistic direction and adaptability in the studio. Her music explores themes of nostalgia, healing, emotional resilience, and acceptance, capturing the complexity of experiencing joy and sadness simultaneously. KESTRINA is currently developing her debut releases while working with international producers across Europe and the US, building a distinct artistic identity centred on emotional honesty and sonic exploration.
