ABOUT

CZARINA ® (styled as C Z A R I N A) is Vero Faye Kitsuné, an American award-winning electronic rock musician, producer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, filmmaker, visual artist, and a long-time veteran creative director and designer in the fashion industry. A New Yorker now based in Galicia, Spain, CZARINA is a multi-disciplinary artist that combines transcendental themes with her love for futurist culture, biomechanics, art and ancient history, mythology, folklore, animist mysticism, Japanese Animes, and budo martial arts.

CZARINA’s ethereal yet heavy-hitting cerebral soundscape seamlessly melds electronic with organic sounds, transcending a vast spectrum of genres including darkwave, dark ethereal, synthpop, progressive gothic rock, industrial and future pop, and post-metal. She takes her audience into expansive dimensions, filled with vast dynamics consisting of atmospheric and cinematic synths, grand orchestral arrangements, thunderous percussions, polyrhythms, sonic guitar riffs, heraldic choral harmonies, powerful and epic vocals, striking visuals, and poignant, thoughtful lyricism that compels one to look inward, around and beyond the material world. Her eclectic list of musical and visionary influences include Nine Inch Nails, TOOL, Massive Attack, Bjork, The Knife, Fever Ray, Puscifer, Vangelis, A Perfect Circle, The Cranberries, Enya, David Bowie, Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, QUEEN, Blondie, Kate Bush, Siouxsie Sioux, Tori Amos, Joe Hisashi, Nobuo Uematsu; and visual masters and storytellers Hayao Miyazaki, Guillermo Del Toro, Katsuhiro Otomo, Masamune Shirow, Yoshitaka Amano, HR Giger, and Hajime Sorayama.

CZARINA’s unique life story as a multi-hyphenate artist was featured and published in VOGUE Philippines April 2023 Issue, with the legendary 106-year old indigenous tattoo artist Apo Whang-Od on the cover. Her 2018 debut has landed her in Music Connection’s Hot 100 Independent Artists to watch. A storyteller and visual maestro, her much-beloved music videos received numerous prestigious international film fest awards, including Music Video of the Year (2021) at New York Film Awards for “Wonderland.” Her critically-acclaimed sophomore record “Arcana” was released on February 22, 2022 and was named Album of the Year by esteemed synthpop authority Synthpop Fanatic.

CZARINA is an established creative director and fashion designer, and has long served as a professional brand architect for several fashion houses and master licenses globally for 2 decades. She co-runs the creative powerhouse for art, design, photography, film and music called THE KITSUNÉS with the artist DeadlyKawaii (Carlos Kitsuné), who also joins her on stage in all her live performances.
