Biography

"Natasha's warm lyric mezzo penetrates the heart - and her spirit triumphs with all the ferocity of a great roaring lioness. This is a voice to be heard" (Vocal Coach, Tami Petty)

Classical vocalist Natasha Poholka was born in 1990. As children she and her sister, Crystal recorded the album “Classic Grace”. They showcased their music on SafeTV's original television program “Purely Music” and won a Silver Angel Award for Music. Together they toured the Ukraine with a youth orchestra, as well as performing across the US and Canada, and on numerous television and radio programs. In 2004 the duo released their second effort, “For Unto Us” and filmed another two episodes of SafeTV's “Purely Music”, this time winning a Videographer's Award of Excellence. They also performed in prestigious venues such as New York City's Lincoln Center and Madison Square Garden, toured New Zealand and also performed in Australia.

Natasha's studies at the Westchester Conservatory of Music were sponsored by Pepsi. She also performed at the company's corporate headquarters in Somers, New York. She later enrolled at Westchester Community College, and performed for an audience of 5000 at the commencement ceremony in 2008. In December of that same year she made her opera debut in the Eastern Festival Opera’s production of “Amahl and the Night Visitors”. She sang her entire role without a microphone and over a small orchestra. Having held her own alongside professional musicians she wants to continue to be judged on her merits rather than her age.

In 2009 she became the youngest ever graduate of Westchester Community College, earning an Associates degree in Performing Arts. Having maintained a 4.0 grade point average at WCC, she was accepted to Andrews University to further her education. Since then she has been a featured soloist in Schubert's Mass in G.
