MEET THE ARTIST
Ludmila Santini is a renowned Swedish modern composer and concert pianist with a partially Czech roots. 

In her childhood she was a child prodigy. She started playing the piano at the age of 4 and composed her first compositions even before she learned to read the music sheets.

At the age of 8 she started her first successful series of concert performances and as a child she participated in composers' competitions with adult composers. Since the early 90's, her musical compositions could be heard on various TV and radio stations.

She graduated from the Music Conservatory, majoring in piano. Her artistic signature style is characterised by a strong melodic line with jazz, pop and classical music intertwined.

Thanks to her quality as an author and performer, she has earned a high international reputation. In addition to her songs, she also writes instrumentals whose expressiveness alternates with calm romantic tones. She had been composing and performing for a long time in Sweden, where she made her mark on a wider audience with a successful tour in the local concert halls. 

In July 2001, she was awarded an honorable mention for her brilliant interpretation of "Sunset Moments" in the prestigious international John Lennon Songwriting Contest (New York, USA).

The Executive Committee of JLSC jury panel includes music legends and current megastars Flea (from The Red Hot Chili Peppers) and Nathan East (who has worked with Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Eric Clapton, Andrea Bocelli and Kenny G. to name a few), singer Prince Royce and singer Natasha Bedingfield.

 In June 2003, under the patronage of the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Stockholm, she released the instrumental album Forever, which she recorded together with Swedish saxophonist and the leader of the XL Big Band, Berndt Sjörgen. 

In October 2003, she won the 1st prize for virtuosity and originality at the MusicContest International Instrumental Competition in Golden (Colorado, USA) for her composition "You Are Always in My Heart" and has won numerous other music awards.

Ludmila Santini, a musical visionary, has given countless successful solo piano recitals and her concert tours have taken her to the stages of many European countries, where she has most often played entire concerts of her own compositions and songs.

The Swedish listeners will be familiar with Ludmila primarily from her concerts with saxophonist Viktor Cehlin and a the performer of her songs, singer Elin "Elly Eve" Svensson, founder of the prestigious vocal group GET UP Soul Choir. Since 2017, the group has accompanied singers like Eric Benét, Peter Jöback, Zara Larsson and Sanna Nielsen.

Ludmila performed with the renowned jazz saxophonist Tomáš Křemenák (known from his jazz projects with Michal David, Pavel Jakub Ryba & The Fish Men, Milan Svoboda's Prague Bigband) on the Czech music scene.

These days she is intensively engaged in composing and arranging, recording in the studio and new projects with foreign musicians and performs live in concerts, both as a solo pianist and together with soprano Natali Santini.

She has a fan base of more than 22 000 followers on LinkedIn.
