Born in Germany but nurtured by the rich cultural tapestry of the Czech Republic, Katerina Maria Kraft’s love affair with music began as a blossoming seed that soon grew into an extraordinary symphonic garden. From a tender age, the world recognized her innate musicality. It was as if melodies whispered secrets to her, and she, in turn, breathed life into them through her fingers. The piano became her closest confidant, a vessel through which her emotions flowed, and her artistry flourished.

My music is full of emotions. Sometimes it’s wild, sometimes it’s calm. It’s mostly melancholic. Sometimes I think about it a lot, sometimes it comes by itself.
Sometimes the topic is nature, sometimes mental health or sometimes just emotions/improvisation.
