Early Years

Born in Moscow, Polina was musically inclined from an early age. The daughter of Russian pop singer Anka, she grew up in a world of singing and performing. She played on the classical piano, and soon after she began writing, producing and singing her own songs. During the electronic music boom in Europe in the 1990s, Polina found her true calling and has since combined her pop sensibilities with her passion for electronic and dance music.

Career

Since her humble beginnings, she moved to New York where she met Sandy Vee & production team, Stargate. Together, they co-wrote platinum recording artist Sean Kingston's 2011 single "Sleep All Day (Party All Night," which peaked at number seven in the UK Pop Singles chart & number one on the UK R&B Singles chart. The song was featured on the soundtrack of The Inbetweeners Movie, the most successful comedy film in British history. After signing a publishing deal with Ultra, she has gone onto work with some of the biggest names in Electronic music, including Steve Aoki, Tiesto, Kaskade, Laidback Luke, Moguai, Todd Terry & many more.

Notable Achievements

She is known for vocaling some of the biggest club records of the past few years, including Felix Cartal’s "Don’t Turn On The Lights" (nominated for the Best Dance Recording at the 2013 JUNO Awards), as well as "Come With Me", her collaboration with Steve Aoki which was the single off of his Grammy nominated album "Wonderland". After appearing in the video for "Come With Me", Polina was handpicked by the Dim Mak label boss (Steve Aoki) to join him on his ‘Deadmeat’ tour in 2012 and appeared at some of dance music's biggest festivals, including Tomorrowland, Ultra Music Festival, Electric Zoo & many more garnering her features in Rolling Stone and Billboard Magazines.

Solo career

Following on from this, she had her own solo success with ‘Fade To Love’ which held top positions in the European pop/dance charts throughout the year (including UK Top 20 Club chart) and the video, which reached No.3 on MTV Russia & No.6 in the Italian charts. In early 2015 Polina released a follow up single called "Breathe". Most recently, though, Polina has had her greatest success: along with Rihanna, Skylar Grey and Kendrick Lamar as she co-wrote & appeared as a featured artist on Eminem’s 12-track comeback Grammy award winning album - ‘The Marshall Mathers LP 2′ with her vocals on the track 'Legacy’.
