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, 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 Moscow’s
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 in
the Phoenix area. Resume:
