About Me

Originally a classical violinist from Rochester, I've worked and studied to become something I've wanted to be my entire life: a songwriter. I took my skills of musical technique and motivation to further my creative abilities. Come fall, I'll be a continuing Sophomore Music Business student at SUNY Fredonia playing bars and coffee shops with my friend Matt Cross for various inebriated students and adults alike.
In Rochester, you may find me playing at local music venues such as Boulder Coffee Company, Daily Perks Coffee house, SPoT Coffee, and Leaf and Bean. I also love to play festivals, block parties, and art openings.
For booking, send me a message here or email me at [email protected]. Thanks for stopping by, I hope you love my stuff.
"Kaminski is a utilitarian player. This works well with her quiet delivery and sarcasm. And this 17-year-old has an opinion or two. Of all the women in this scene, Kaminski is probably the most classic in her left-wing defiance and rebellious leanings. That's not to say she's militant, but the music brings out a more vociferous and profane side to this otherwise shy young lady." -Frank DeBlase
