Classically trained in piano since age six and genetically blessed with talent by her mother, a Russian conservatory professor, The Soviet-born singer’s old world sound and off-kilter story-telling set her apart from the other lady songstresses that serenade the airwaves. Her mainstream sound allows her to sneak lines like “Hey remember the time when I found a human tooth down on Delancey?” into the unsuspecting brains of Grey’s Anatomy viewers. Endlessly inventive, she maximizes her vocal range to the fullest as she spins yarns about New York. A fixture of the East Village anti-folk scene, she’s most recently set her sights on the Great White Way, where she will be penning the songs for an adaptation of Sleeping Beauty. More than just a cute girl with a killer voice, you've got to witness this strange beauty's song stylings live.
