Interview: Jane K (Evgeniya Kozhevnikova)

JANE K (Evgeniya Kozhevnikova) is a composer, pianist, educator and a PhD student in composition from University of Florida. She defies the rigid lines of genre, preferring to  blend genres from classical to jazz and tango. In 2022 she released her latest album, a collection of her art songs called Lift Up Your Hearts. We fell in love with her unique and extremely quaffable style at the Music By Women Festival in March 2023. Today Jane talks about being open to opportunities, her journey from computer technology student in Russia to composer and music educator in the U.S., and gives some great advice on breaking through writer’s block.  https://www.janekmusic.com/ Diana Krall, Greatest Hits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqjrmdNnfCo Sting, Shape of Your Heart: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlwIDxCjL-8 Norah Jones, Come Away with Me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbjZPFBD6JU
