On a warm day with city traffic humming in the background, Karolina Protsenko stood quietly with a mic and a speaker. Then came the first few lines of “Lose Control,” and everything changed. Her voice cut through the noise like a secret finally being said out loud. It wasn’t just a cover of Teddy Swims’ hit; it was her own story, sung with aching honesty in the middle of a street where strangers suddenly became an audience.
Karolina’s voice carried more than melody. You could hear the heartbreak, the longing, the quiet strength of someone holding it together even as she’s coming undone. She didn’t overdo it. She didn’t need to. Her delivery was sincere and straightforward and that’s what made people stop and listen. She sang like she meant every word, like she wasn’t just performing; she was feeling.

When she finished, her quiet “Thank you” was followed by applause that felt real. The clapping that comes when someone touches something personal in you, even if you can’t quite explain what it is. That day, Karolina didn’t just perform on the street. She gave people a moment they hadn’t expected to feel.
Later, under stage lights and with a full orchestra behind her, Karolina picked up her violin to play the “Love Theme” from Cinema Paradiso. This time, there were no lyrics but her playing said everything. Backed by The Desert Symphony and holding a 1937 Carl Becker violin, she filled the hall with a sound that felt like both a memory and a dream.

Each note floated like a quiet conversation, gentle, bittersweet and full of warmth. You didn’t have to know the film or the composer. You just had to listen. At that moment, Karolina wasn’t just a performer. She was a storyteller and used her violin to speak where words would’ve fallen short.
Whether on a sidewalk or in a concert hall, Karolina Protsenko brings the same heart. She plays and sings like someone who truly understands the power of music to heal, to connect and to hold onto something meaningful, even if only for a few minutes.
