Regina Spektor was born in Russia and lived there until she was 9 years old, when her family moved to The Bronx in New York City. The Russian musicians she was exposed to as a girl had a deep influence on the music she’s made ever since. Spektor talked about those influences with host Marco Werman back in 2013.
