I’m Sangina Sharipova — a professional recording artist and vocal coach based in Los Angeles. With over 15 years of professional performance experience and 5+ years of teaching, I work with singers who expect precision, depth, and results. I hold a Professional Diploma from Musicians Institute (LA) and was a Finalist of X-Factor and The Voice. My career includes performances on major international stages such as the United Nations Headquarters, the Kremlin Palace, and leading venues across Europe, Asia, and the United States. Alongside performing, I actively release original music and work in the studio as a recording artist and songwriter. I coach artists, public figures, and high-level performers, including clients with multi-million audiences, as well as professionals preparing for recordings, auditions, tours, and high-pressure performances. My work is focused on: • refined vocal control and consistency • effortless high notes and vocal freedom • stylistic clarity and individuality • stamina for studio and live performance • confidence under pressure My method combines modern vocal technique, blues and soul-based vocal approaches, contemporary pop/R&B aesthetics, vocal health, and performance psychology. Each session is fully individualized and strategically structured — no generic exercises, no shortcuts. This is a space for singers who are serious about their craft and ready to elevate their voice to a professional standard.

"I came to Sangina with a clear goal: to prepare a song for recording. I had performed professionally as a singer in the past, but after a long break and relocation, I felt out of vocal shape and unsure about my voice. After working together for three months, we restored my vocal form, rebuilt technique, and brought back confidence. I was able to record my song successfully, feeling stable, prepared, and connected to my voice again. What stood out to me was Sangina’s ability to understand exactly what my voice needed after a pause. Step by step, the tension disappeared, control returned, and singing started to feel natural again. Beyond technique, these lessons helped me regain confidence and motivation to sing and continue developing my artistic career. I didn’t just get my voice back — I found the desire to grow as an artist again.
