Singing has always been second nature to Luba. It is a vital part of her self-expression and the key that unlocks her deepest emotions. A native Montrealer, she credits the city's cosmopolitan nature and her own eastern-European roots for helping define her distinct musical style. With the gift of a pure and generous voice, she has managed to parlay her talent into international acclaim. Luba's music runs the gamut from R&B to pop, soul to worldbeat, always staying in the moment with a fresh take on her melodies and lyrics.
With four major albums to her credit, Luba first burst onto the music scene with the smash hit "Everytime I See Your Picture." The single shot to the Number One spot on singles charts, prompting the release of her first major album for EMI Music. Produced by Daniel Lanois (U2, Peter Gabriel), the album also contains Luba's first of many gold singles, the song "Let it Go." Written by Luba, it stayed at the top of the charts for over 40 weeks, eventually reaching the Number One position.
Throughout the years, Luba has won many international awards, including Junos for Best Female Vocalist three years in a row, and various songwriting awards. Known for her dynamic live performances, she has performed for audiences of up to 100,000 people, and was chosen to represent Canada at the Tokyo International Song Festival where she became a top finalist. Her collaborators include such talents as Bryan Adams, Pierre Marchand (Sarah McLachlan) and Narada Michael Walden, to name but a few. Luba is currently writing material for an upcoming album release, as well as writing her first book.
