This is my first name.

Yes I do.

I hope it does.

Yes.

I've enjoyed playing the piano since I was 5. Then I graduated from a Russian classical piano school. Since then, I have enjoyed playing live with different types of musicians. A few years ago I discovered the keyboard Korg Triton, which gave me the opportunity to use the sounds of real musical instruments and record each instrument on a different track. Each of my songs here is a synthesis of these tracks.

I like Sting, W. Groover, D.Koz.

Keyboard Korg Triton.

My songs are like pages of my diary, where I express my emotions and create my own world.
Here is the recent review from www.smoothjazz.com:
"From Russia, with love and a great deal of talent, comes classically trained keyboardist Irina A. Blessing, known professionally as just “Irina.” Her debut CD, SEEKING HARMONY, is a beautiful collection of smooth instrumentals, reflecting a love for Smooth Jazz that she’s developed since moving to the U.S. a few years ago. Irina lists Grover, Sting, David Sanborn, The Ripps, and Chris Botti among her inspirations. In her continued evolution as a pianist, she’s chosen to master the Korg Triton Workstation keyboard, which is what you’ll hear on this delightful set of eleven original compositions. There’s a very soothing ambience to her performance on this disc that allows you to just relax and absorb her artistry, from the gentle “Miami Surf” to the intriguing “Tokyo.” Irina describes her music as a synergy of classical, pop, rock, and Russian folk music that blends and mixes through her heart and fingers. The result, as you’ll hear, is a very lyrical and accessible hour of music, at times leaning Chill, at other times moving toward New Age, but always gentle and sensitively-performed. The piano voicing of the Korg Triton dominates most of the tunes, with myriad other voicings and synth effects adding spice and intrigue along the way. Irina displays her supreme musicianship throughout this album, both from the standpoints of melodic structure and her fastidious arrangements. SEEKING HARMONY from Irina is one of those compelling albums that invite you to listen again and again. You will happily accept the invitation! ~SCOTT O'BRIEN"
