Kristina Seleshanko began her singing career at the age of three when she stole the microphone during a Sunday school choir concert, creating her own solo. At the age of nine, she began studying voice with Patti MacDonald, vocal coach to most Miss California’s. At 15, she started studies in opera with Dr. Nellie Arnold, making her operatic debut at age 16. Kristina’s passion is musical theatre; she was once an actress in New York City, and has performed in regional theatre on the West Coast. In the 1990s, Kristina regularly sang at New York City’s Village Gate, a jazz spot where Harry Connick Jr.’s band sometimes followed Kristina’s act. Today, Kristina offers voice lessons, and teachers and voice students from around the globe consult her on vocal issues. |
