About Me

Alina Rostotskaya is a young russian jazz singer and composer. Alina was born in a family of musicians and started her musical journey as a classical pianist at the age of 5. At 15 she entered musical theatre as an actress and didn't plan to be a professional musician. But at 17 by pure accident she came to a jam session and fell in love with jazz. Alina started to sing this music and quickly came to feel at home in musical community of Moscow. Now she is studying vocal in the State College of Jazz Music in Moscow (class of Irina Tomaeva). She is only 21, but it doesn't prevent her to work and make recordings with a fabulous russian musician Sergey Manoukian, to write music, to perform at the club stage and to take part in various jazz festivals. She sang on one stage with such great musicians as Phill Perry, Patsy Grant, Alexey Kuznetsov, Marimba Plus, Daniil Kramer, Pavel Chekmakovsky and many others. From 2006 to 2008 Alina took part in Jazz-Tver festival (Tver), Le Jazz summer festival (Moscow), Festos(Moscow), Jazz Voices (Moscow), Moving Club Meets Friends (Samara), Jaliton (Yalta), Rabarbra Jam festival (Norway) and others. In 2008 she won a special prize at the international competition Nomme Jazz in Estonia and in 2009 she won the 1st prize at the First Moscow Competition of Young Jazz Singers. Now Alina's working on a new programme of her own music with her band Jazzmobile and still raising a musical level.
