I am a composer and guitarist from Latvia, Riga based in Cologne, Germany, who is specialised in different kinds of music. I draw my main influences from jazz, classical music, jazz fusion and post-rock.

In 2022 I moved to Cologne, Germany to study Jazz Composition MM program at the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln

2018-2022 I studied jazz guitar performance in Latvian music academy BA program (Jāzepa Vītola Latvijas Mūzikas akadēmija) 

Also I studied music at the Dynamic Records Music School music production and sound engineering. (2016-2017)

My musical education has thus far consisted of taking private guitar lessons and attending Ventspils Music College’s (Ventspils Mūzikas vidusskola) pop and jazz guitar program (2013-2016).

En ocasiones me veo a mi mismo como un agujero negro absorbiendo la luz hacia mi interior.

"Eva Kesselring writes music that slowly reveals itself with it´s own logic, adventurous music in the real sense of the word without  cliches, long forms that evolve dealing with sound rhythm, form, melody and harmony. New ideas with the timeless elements. 
Proving once again that you can always ﬁnd new esthetic paths with the creative use of grooves, counterpoint, orchestration and development of ideas. 

Passionate music, full of life, honest music that will take you to new landscapes, strong motives that Eva's tunes provide."
