My performance on Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show!

I hope you had a fantastic summer and feel energized for a busy fall.

Never did I imagine coming back to the biz 4 months after having a baby, but I was given a huge opportunity to perform on Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show, one of America’s most watched talk shows! I was humbled to perform as a featured singer with Residente and Bad Bunny. Residente is a Puerto Rican rapper who has won four Grammy Awards and 24 Latin Grammy Awards. Bad Bunny is a Puerto Rican Latin trap and reggaeton singer who gained popularity on SoundCloud and was then signed to a record label.

It all happened so fast. I found out about this opportunity on Saturday afternoon, had to learn the song within a few hours, self tape and send it to Residente’s music director before midnight and they confirmed by next morning. Fast forward three days and I’m in NBC studios at Rockefeller Center and getting to do what I love - perform! A week later the performance was written up by the biggest music magazines including Rolling Stone and Billboard and viewed over 1.7 million times, which is more than the population of my homeland, Estonia. It’s been an unreal ride.


I’m filled with gratitude and owe a big thank you to my dear friend and colleague, the creator of Kalevala the musical, Johanna Telander, who suggested me to Residente. Thank you, Johanna! Friends, if you haven’t checked out Johanna’s musical yet, click to the following link kalevalamusical.com and I promise it's worth your time. 


Enjoy the new cooler weather and if you have a moment, drop me a line to update me on your life!


Warmly,

Kristi
