So, if you’re looking for a talented violinist for your magical day, read on to find out more about one of the most in-demand electric violinists on the Costa del Sol, Krzysztof Spychała.

Thanks for coming along today Krzysztof, tell us a bit more about yourself and your musical background. At what age did you first pick up the violin?

I was born in Poland, into a family of musicians. I have always wanted to play the violin, so at the age of six I started music school. During my 12 years of education I became interested in music production and composition, which became the perfect combination of my passions. There is no genre of music that I have not tried to perform (or compose), so I reach for a variety of inspirations in my performances and original songs/tracks.

I came to the Costa del Sol to fall in love with violin playing all over again. The musicality and openness of Spain allows me to expand my musical horizons and understand my sensibility.

Who is your greatest musical inspiration and why?

My biggest musical inspiration is my mother. She is also a violinist. Her playing the violin opened my eyes to what true passion is, heart, but also- truth.

Besides her, it’s hard to pick my next biggest inspiration because the spectrum of my musical taste is quite wide. A list which includes Mozart, Frank Sinatra, Qunicy Jones, Hans Zimmer, but also Mark Ronson, TroyBoi, Calvin Harris, The Flashbulb and many others. Everything- from classical music to hip-hop, drum & bass etc.

How did you get into playing the violin at weddings?

I played at my first ceremony at the age of 16, when my sister got married. It was an extremely important and touching moment for our whole family. It was then that I understood the importance of the sounds that accompany us at such a special moment.

In my adult life I have played at many weddings, but also at wedding parties- combining my passion for the violin and popular music.

How would you describe your music style?

For me, playing the violin is an opportunity to express myself sincerely and give positive emotions to my listeners. When I perform jazz standards or ballads I try to tell a story with their melodies. When I improvise to music played by a DJ, I fall into a trance and use one hundred percent of my energy. Dancing with the audience can be proof of this 😉

Do you have a planned playlist or are you happy to accommodate a bridal couple’s song requests?

Of course, I have a list of favourite songs that I perform. However, I believe that if the bridal couple wants to hear their favourite songs during the ceremony, I am there to make that dream come true.

What are the top 5 most requested songs?

Over the years I have played in orchestras, string quartets and live bands, so the list of requested songs is large. However, most people want to listen to “Fly me to the moon”, “Somewhere over the rainbow”, “Ave Maria” (Schubert’s or Bach-Gounod’s), and themes from the movie “Titanic” and “The Swan” (Saint-Saens).

Do you prefer to play solo, or do you like to collaborate with other musicians and singers?

I most enjoy improvising to club/pop music accompanied by a DJ. I also enjoy playing calm versions of popular hits. The company of other musicians is just an extra delight.

As I mentioned- I compose and produce music. I love combining the sounds of live instruments with electronics, vocals, creative samples and original lyrics.
