Luba, the shortened Russian name of Liubov, meaning love, was born in a small town amongst the Ural Mountains in South East Russia. Luba started to display an amazing talent and interest in music at such a young age, her parents started her in vocal classes at the age of a mere four years old. Only a year later she began to sing on stage and perform in concerts for children.
At 14, Luba was accepted into Kurgan Music College, a very prestigious school which was quite an accomplishment to be admitted at such a young age. Throughout her four years of music college, Luba spent countless hours practicing and performing vocals, teaching/playing piano, and dance. Her education did not stop here and upon graduation she proceeded to further her studies at the Moscow State University of Culture and Arts where she continued her lessons and majored as a Director of Show Programs. Even while studying full time, Luba had achieved numerous accomplishments during her schooling, including winning Moscows premier local Pop Music contest ,Art-Arena, live concert performances, and winning numerous competitions.
In summer of 2008, Luba made a decision to venture to the U.S. for a cultural experience in hopes it would expand her musical education. It was at this place and time Luba met her future, and now Husband, Steve, who helped and encouraged her musical abilities.
With the continuing assistance of her husband she has been able to overcome many of her initial language barriers and has successfully started teaching as well as playing the piano professionally.
Luba currently also works for Ballet Arizona as a Pianist and is the Lead Organist for a local Orthodox Church here in the Phoenix area.
