Christina Stur (Praetzel) Singer/Vocalist, Composer, Pianist
Overview
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.

June 1, 2021Breathtaking voice!
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!

May 28, 2019Wonderful!
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!!!

Influences and inspiration
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.
Setup requirements
I prefer access to a piano, but I have a keyboard if this is not possible.
