Koszika — Koszorus Krisztina — is a Transylvanian-born singer, violinist, and songwriter whose music refuses to be classified. She grew up in Romania in a folk-artist family where everybody played an instrument, sang, or danced. She's trained in classical violin at the Gheorghe Dima Music Academy in Cluj-Napoca, and then promptly decided that classical violin was only the beginning.
She loves ethnic music, folk songs, jazz, funk, soul, swing, reggae, drum and bass, bossa nova, and cats. She said cats. She meant it.
Since 2011 she has been roaming through space and time with her band Koszika & The HotShots — singing in twelve languages and playing in fifteen countries, from Niagara Falls to the French Alps. Along the way she picked up a few awards — she mentions this not to brag but because her mother reads this website. 😂
These days she is often at the Budapest Jazz Club, Várkert Bazár, or MVM Dome with the Peter Sarik Trio — a collaboration that has taken her music somewhere she didn't expect. Their album Indulj el came out in November 2025 and landed them on Austrian national radio ORF1. That was a good week. The MVM Dome performance put them in front of 10,000 people, a 60-piece orchestra, and a 50-piece choir. At the time of writing she is on tour across Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and China.
She is based in Transylvania. She is ready to travel the land. Come find her.
