Mayor Bill de Blasio proclaimed June 11, 2019, Regina Spektor Day in New York City. Spektor was also inducted into the Bronx Walk of Fame on May 18, 2019, by Borough President Rubén Díaz Jr.
Regina Spektor‘s primary instrument is the piano, and she plays the guitar as a secondary instrument, primarily playing on a seafoam Epiphone Wildkat archtop hollow-body electric guitar for live performances.
Her songs show influences from folk, punk, rock, Jewish, Russian, hip hop, jazz, and classical music. Spektor has said that she works hard to ensure that each of her songs has its own musical style, rather than trying to develop a distinctive style for her music as a whole.

Regina Spektor performs using a broad vocal range, with a falsetto extension, but without any apparent break. She explores a variety of different and somewhat unorthodox vocal techniques, such as verses composed entirely of buzzing noises made with the lips and beatbox-style flourishes in the middle of ballads, and also makes use of such unusual musical techniques as using a drum stick to tap rhythms on the body of a chair.
Part of her style also results from the exaggeration of certain aspects of vocalization, most notably the glottal stop, prominent in the single “Fidelity”. She also uses a strong New York accent on some words, which she has said is due to her love of New York and its culture.
Regina Spektor usually sings in English, though she sometimes includes a few words or verses of Latin, Russian, French, or other languages. She plays with pronunciations, which she told NPR to be a remnant of her early years when she listened to pop in English without understanding the lyrics.
Spektor says the records that most impact her are those of “bands whose music is really involved”. She cites the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Madonna, Eminem, Kate Bush, Rufus Wainwright, the Ramones, Patti Smith, Billie Holiday, Radiohead, Tom Waits, and Frédéric Chopin as prime influences.
Her discography includes eight studio albums, four extended plays, two live albums, and twenty-six singles.
