Stereoliza

Founders of the band – vocalist and writer of lyrics Katya Shalayeva and Alex Ginchev (responsible for music and programming).
Katya is an attractive blonde girl with background in a nice family in Ukraine. Until her music career swept in, she used to lead a life of a “good girl” and graduated from a prestigious university with a major in International Relations. No one could seriously think that Katya would soon break all stereotypes about Diplomatic School graduates and would become a hip-hop performer spicing up her songs with shocking lyrics. As Katya says, “I’m a bad girl, and all my chances are hurled. But now I feel much better and my grounds are firm.” She feels better writing and performing music that she likes then leading a “normal life.” Katya and Alex met and played together in a jazz band, and then decided that they want to create different type of music. In 2005 Ingvo joined the band, adding a lot of energy and inspiration.
Stereoliza is an actively performing artist. In 2006 in the framework of the world tour of the "Black Eyed Peas", Stereoliza was invited to open for them in Kiev.The band participated in the biggest festivals of Poland and Russia, performing on one stage with the Rasmus, Melanie C, Planet Funk, Mattafix, Andreas Johnson, etc.
The year 2007 was marked by all-Ukrainian tour, organized by one of Ukrainian mobile operators, where Stereoliza played together with Sean Paul, Chemical Brothers and Apollo 440.
In 2007 “X.Y.Z.” and “Corporate Logic” songs attracted the attention of American TV and film producers. “X.Y.Z.” became a soundtrack of “Moonlight Show. Episode 13”, ànd “Corporate Logic” was picked as a soundtrack to the feature film “Forever Strong” (sport’s drama).
Recently the band has moved to Los Angeles and is working on the new album, playing gigs in various venues in U.S.A.
