Yannon with Queen Kiddo

Yannon started writing songs before she could remember. She was the sole composer in every self-produced musical in her head, and all the performances she’d put on for her family. Yannon found her happy place early on in school choir and in voice lessons, and eventually, in university where she pursued music education. Singing and songwriting is what made her, her. Yannon's debut album, "Cohesion," released in 2021, is a reflection of her musical evolution and creativity, particularly influenced by the pandemic lockdowns. The album showcases her ability to craft soulful synthpop with jazzy vocals and tender lyrics, creating an immersive and varied experience for listeners. Yannon's music, especially her recent works, is a heartfelt ode to the natural world. Embracing the magic of reality, she sings about the beauty in everyday moments, and the value of rest and acceptance. Her songs are a journey into the deep connection humanity shares with nature. In this exploration, she believes we find what we're truly searching for - a sense of peace and belonging within the world's natural rhythm. This thematic focus resonates in her latest single "Spooky Action," where the intertwining of nature, quantum entanglement, and personal connections create a unique musical tapestry. Queen kiddo is not just a band; it's a celebration of talent, collaboration, and the vibrant musical spirit of Saint Louis.On vocals and guitar, Karin Bliznik, formerly the Principal Trumpet of the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra (SLSO), brings a unique fusion of classical precision and melodic rock to Queen kiddo. Her dynamic presence and musicality have long captivated audiences in the classical realm, and now in the heart of the Saint Louis rock scene. With a career deeply rooted in Saint Louis, local music legend Celia brings a wealth of experience and a touch of nostalgia to Queen kiddo's sound. Her guitar riffs transport listeners to the golden era of the 90s, and weave seamlessly with Karin's to create a powerful, melodic tapestry that defines the band's signature sound. Setting Queen kiddo’s heartbeat with rhythmic mastery is Alan Stewart, the current Associate Principal Percussionist of the SLSO. Alan enriches the band's music by blending his classical training with unbridled rock energy, ensuring audiences remain entranced in a continuous groove. From intimate venues to iconic Saint Louis stages, the synergy between Bliznik, Celia, Stewart, and their guest collaborators transcends genres and create an immersive experience for the ears and heart.
