My musical talents emerged early in my childhood when I began singing at the age of 7. My performance of R&B music has been described as mysterious and soulful, with a twist that�s ahead of its time. I look to musical greats such as Billie Holiday, Alicia Keys, Jill Scott, Grace Jones, Shade, and Craig David for my inspiration. My background provides insight into why my music is so captivating. I was born October 15, 1985 in Goukovsky, Russia. I spent my youth enjoying the beautiful city of Moscow, and experimenting with a variety of European and Classical styles of music. In Moscow, I was recognized for my talent � I won both the Best Music Student Award and Best Art Student Award in the fine arts program there. At 16, I moved to Geneva, Switzerland, where I continued my fine arts training and completed my formal studies in art school. Over the years, and to this day, I�ve been invited to perform at various high-profile events in Switzerland and the world over. Continuously developing my musical talent is important to me, and I spent time training one-on-one with the world-renowned vocal coach Houston Simmons in New York. In New York, I also worked with a professional recording studio to produce my first official recordings. Listen to them for yourself under the tab called Music. I�m currently living the jet-setter lifestyle; I live between New York, Geneva, and Moscow. I�ve also explored many other places in my worldwide travels, spending time to absorb the culture of countries like France, Spain, Italy, the US, and Brazil. I�m fluent in French, English, and Russian. I pull from my experiences around the world, and use my understanding of other cultures as inspiration for my music. I�ve had a number of influences in my life that have led to my musical success. Most importantly is the support of my artistic family. I come from a family of professional painters. I am also an accomplished painter and fashion artisan; my works have earned international acclaim in galleries worldwide. Most recently, my paintings were included in art exhibits at the Geneva International Airport and luxurious Hotel de la Paix in Geneva. My personality has been described as �spicy�. Assertive self-confidence and drive create a focus that I rarely let anyone shake. This passion comes through in my music and my fans say they find it attractive. My main goal at this point in my music career is to sign a recording contract. I�m a professional musician who will do what it takes to become a star. Contact me at: sasha@sashakurban.com
