With influences including Mariah Carey, Erykah Badu, Brian McKnight and Beyonce, I have enjoyed a singing career of more than fifteen years that has seen me feature on multiple records, and sing at concerts and international jazz festivals in a number of cities all over Russia. I always knew from childhood that I wanted to be a composer and singer and so I studied - firstly music theory and pop-jazz vocals at College of Arts in Rostov-on-Don, vocals at the University of Culture and Arts in Moscow, and then songwriting at Berklee College of Music. I perform in a diverse range of genres and styles including soul/RnB, pop, funk, jazz, lounge, and electro swing and have sung songs in seven different languages - English, Russian, Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Armenian. Singing is my life and my passion - it's what I was born to do!
