Inna YUKHIMCHUK

Inna Yukhimchuk: Singer, Songwriter, and Vocal Teacher

"Music makes the world a better place!” This is the lifelong motto of Inna Yukhimchuk, a talented singer, songwriter, and vocal teacher who continues to enchant audiences worldwide.

Inna grew up in a family of musicians, which is why her very first performance took place at the tender age of three. From that moment, the stage captivated her, and she began pursuing her dream of becoming a singer. After graduating from music school in the small northern Russian town of Noyabrsk in 2006, Inna moved to Moscow, determined to achieve success. There, she earned a Master’s degree in Performing Arts from the Institute of Modern Arts in 2012. Embracing her talent and voice, she performed at various clubs and venues. An unforgettable moment occurred in 2007 when she had the privilege of singing at a venue on the famous Moscow Red Square during a New Year’s concert in front of thousands of people.

At 25, in search of new knowledge and opportunities, Inna moved to sunny Los Angeles. In this city of talent, she studied with renowned vocal coaches, including the esteemed Kathleen Riggs. Seizing new opportunities, Inna joined the L.A.-based soul rock band ‘Newton and the Fates.’ One of the band's greatest achievements was performing at the legendary "The Hotel Café" in Los Angeles, a stage that has also hosted John Mayer, Adele, and Katy Perry. Another significant milestone was the release of their EP album, Atomic Soul.

Throughout her extensive musical career, Inna has not only performed at concerts but also actively participated in vocal competitions. Recent highlights include her performances at "Vocal City" and "The Golden Festival" in Paris. Her journey to fame has been marked by numerous accolades, including a prestigious international award received in Nice, France, in 2019 for her outstanding contributions to the music industry. She has also appeared on well-known TV shows such as X-Factor in Ukraine (2013) and Universal Show in China (2021).

With over a thousand performances across Russia, America, and China, Inna continues to grow and actively perform. The most exciting part of her career is yet to come—she is working on her debut solo album, set for release in February 2025. With her exceptional talent and infectious charisma, Inna Yukhimchuk is poised to capture the hearts of listeners around the globe.
