Jenia Lubich is a singer-songwriter, from Saint Petersburg, Russia, who performs and writes in English, Russian, French and Spanish. Her work encompasses recording, song-writing, session performance, live performance, and TV performance.
Background
Jenya Lubich was born 20 March 1984 in Leningrad, USSR (now Saint Petersburg, Russia), where also attended school and graduated from Smolny College Liberal Arts and Sciences with a major in music.
Primarily a solo artist, Jenia has worked with groups, as a session singer and musician. In 2009, she joined the French group Nouvelle Vague.
Early years
When Jenia was 12, she took vocal lessons and by 1998 was performing classical repertoire in Russia, Finland & Hungary. In 2000, she studied modern vocals, piano, music history, music & art criticism in Russia and the USA. By the time she had graduated, she had changed her musical style from classical to modern, and had begun to write and perform her own songs.
Commercial developments
From 2004, Jenia performed with her songs, giving concerts in various cities. In 2005, she was interviewed for Vesti Petersburg TV, and reviewed in Neva News (Saint Petersburg’s first English Language newspaper) article Music Of The Present.
In 2006, Jenia began working on new productions and her song Ville de France appeared among the tracks of De-Phazz, VFSix and Incognito on a Nu Lounge CD collection, released by Nu Note, Moscow. In July of the same year, Jenia took part in a 'Baltic Stars' music contest, hosted by I.B. Records, and won 1st prize – a trip to Hollywood in August 2007 – to compete as a vocalist in the World Championships of Performing Arts 'World Stars' [1]. For performances of her own songs, she was awarded a WCOPA medal and two bronze medals.
Production work
In April 2008, one of Jenia's favorite music bands, French new wave/lounge group, Nouvelle Vague, formed by music producers Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux, performed in Saint Petersburg. After their concert, Jenia passed a CD of her songs to Collin, the producer, composer and recording artiste (Nouvelle Vague, Air, Tuxedomoon, Café del Mar). He liked her voice and invited Jenia to Paris to record. As a result, the third Nouvelle Vague album NV3 [2] features 2 songs, Marooned and Aussi Belle Qu’une Balle.
