BIO

My music Tells my Story

Born in Odessa, Ukraine, Tasiya earned diploma and then got a master degree in jazz vocals at Franz Liszt University of Music in Weimar under Prof. Michael Schiefel, Prof. Jeff Cascaro and Prof. Leonid Chizhik.
After starting with jazz standarts, crossover, free jazz and world music, she began to experiment to find her own style.
In 2019 Tasiya moved to Berlin. To that time she was already a prize winner at the prestigious Jazz Voice Competition in Montreux (2013), Riga Jazz Stage (2017) , Munich Jazz Prize (2017), Voicingers in Poland (2017) etc. and got a CD release “ New Old Fairytales” at Hevhetia Records in 2019 together with a pianist Sammy Lukas.

"I love what I've heard. Tasiya has a beautiful voice, the music is very evocative and full of imagination. That all the pieces are written by Tasiya and lyrics too, is even more impressive! It's a lovely album. Congratulations."
- Norma Winstone.

After trying different styles and forms, she comes to composing suits – not a very typical form in Jazz. In her solo and band work she combines different stylistics: traditional music from Ukraine, free jazz improvisation, classical soundscapes, and all that with a loopstation and fx. Duet "Tasiya & Sammy Lukas" started in 2017 and is a main project with a great pianist, a Yamaha Jazz Prize winner, Sammy Lukas.

At the age of 16 she wrote her first song for symphony orchestra. It took almost a year to bring the whole partiture together. The first song was “ Inside my Music”. Now there is almost 15 songs with symphony orchestra composed and arranged by Tasiya, and most of them are included in musical “Malady”. Now she is working on recording an album consisting completely of her symphony works.
