I am Krystyana Cziner, a Juilliard-trained violinist, composer, writer, and producer who thrives on collaboration across hip hop, R&B, film scores, and jingles. I’ve contributed writing and production on numerous platinum and gold records, and you can hear my string playing on Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter V. I collaborate with top producers and artists to blend classical training with contemporary music, creating high-energy tracks and cinematic scores. I’m a founding member of Gotham 5 and co-founder of Pendulum Music Foundation, dedicated to bringing classical music into underserved communities. I have written almost 40 minutes of original music for Black and White Stripes: The Juventus Story, which premiered in Italy, and I’ve created music identities for brands like EFM men’s wear. I’ve performed with the Hartford Symphony, Orchestra of New England, and Eastern Connecticut Symphony, and I teach music and arts across CT as a Teaching Artist. I’m currently at work on a feature-length film score slate for 2025 and continue collaborating with Gramercy Records and my husband, James Cziner.
