Kristina Mar Swiss X-Factor finalist. Jazz, Chanson & Bossa Nova for luxury weddings & events

Access to reliable power sources (at least 3 standard electrical sockets) directly at the performance spot. I also require access to the area at least 30 minutes before the event starts for setup and soundcheck.

The exact location, contact details of the venue manager, and loading/parking instructions. Please specify if the performance is indoors or outdoors, and if the venue has an active sound limiter.

Yes, for local events (Marbella & Costa del Sol), I can provide my own professional, high-quality PA sound system. It is perfect for creating a sophisticated acoustic ambiance for cocktail receptions, intimate weddings, and private parties.

No

I bring my own high-quality professional sound system and vintage microphone. All I require is a single standard power outlet. Crucially, for outdoor events, the performance area and equipment must be completely sheltered from direct sunlight. To ensure safety and prevent technical failure or overheating from the intense heat, adequate shade (such as a canopy, tent, or large umbrella) must be provided.

Reaching the live finals of the Swiss X-Factor was an incredible milestone, but the highlights of my career are defined by performing at some of the world's most prestigious locations. I’ve had the honor of singing for exclusive audiences in Davos, delivering elegant live sets at iconic Marbella venues like Puente Romano and Olivia Valère, and performing at legendary luxury hotels such as the Metropol. These experiences have shaped my ability to naturally connect with high-end, international crowds.

While I appreciate the unique energy of every performance, my absolute favorites are luxury weddings and sophisticated cocktail receptions. I love the moments when guests are socializing, enjoying a glass of fine wine, and my live jazz and French chanson perfectly wrap around the room, creating an atmosphere of timeless, effortless elegance. It’s incredibly rewarding to elevate someone’s special day into a truly premium, memorable experience.

I started my musical journey with professional vocal training, which quickly led me to performing on big stages and reaching the live finals of the Swiss X-Factor. Over the years, my career has evolved into delivering high-end live music for exclusive corporate events, VIP parties, and luxury weddings across Europe - from Davos to the Golden Mile in Marbella. With extensive stage experience, I’ve mastered the art of curating the perfect musical atmosphere for premium international audiences.

I have been deeply influenced by the timeless elegance of Frank Sinatra, Doris Day, and the legendary Dalida and Edith Piaf, as well as the modern jazz-pop sophistication of Laufey. My absolute favorite artist is Ella Fitzgerald, whose incredible phrasing and iconic swing deeply inspire my musical identity. For me, the greatest song of all time is 'Autumn Leaves' (Les Feuilles Mortes) - a masterpiece that bridges French Chanson and American Jazz. This blend deeply reflects my own repertoire: alongside the timeless classics, I perform my original songs in Jazz, Bossa Nova, and French Chanson styles, which are currently gaining wonderful success and recognition across the coast.

I typically arrive 30 to 60 minutes before the performance to quietly set up and run a soundcheck, ensuring the acoustics are perfectly balanced for the space. My standard performance format consists of 2 x 45-minute sets with a short, elegant intermission. However, I am always flexible and happy to tailor the set lengths to match the unique flow and timeline of your event.

I absolutely love performing outdoors, including exclusive live sets on luxury yachts and private boats, especially against the beautiful Mediterranean backdrops here on the coast! To ensure the best performance, I kindly request a flat, level surface, adequate shade or cover to protect the voice and equipment from direct sunlight, and a power source near the performance spot (though my sound system is also fully battery-powered and highly adaptable for sailing).

I want your event to feel completely personal, so clients are more than welcome to select their favorite tracks from my existing repertoire list. I am also happy to learn up to 2/3 specific special songs before the date if they fit within my acoustic Jazz, Bossa Nova, or French Chanson style. During the live performance, I usually curate the final flow and order of the music myself, as this allows me to read the room and seamlessly match the mood of your guests.

Previous clients and event organizers always emphasize that my voice and performance style are truly unique and stand out from anyone else. They are consistently impressed by the sheer versatility and sophistication of my repertoire, which seamlessly transitions from classic jazz to authentic French chanson and my own original songs. People often describe the experience as captivating and deeply elegant, noting that I bring a rare, distinct character to the stage that transforms the entire atmosphere of the event.
