Ada’s Story

Ada was born in Moscow and emigrated to The United States with her family when she was just six years old. With musician parents, it didn’t take long for Ada to become a child prodigy on the Violin, winning numerous competitions and awards.

At the peak of her career at just 15 years old, Ada was invited to perform as a Soloist with a Professional Orchestra where she received a standing ovation from an adoring audience of 2000 people. That would be the last Concert she played as a Classical Violinist because unfortunately by that point she was battling severe tendonitis and overuse syndrome which made it extremely painful/impossible to play. Ada put her Violin away in its case not knowing if she’d ever play again, but three years later fate came calling.

While her high-school friends raved about their college acceptance application letters, Ada had no idea where her future was headed and didn’t want to burden her parents with college tuition expenses. At the time, Ada’s mother was taking a Music Therapy course at New School University, which made Ada curious about Music Therapy. While exploring various possibilities with her guidance counselor, Berklee College of Music came up as one of the few schools offering Music Therapy. After much consideration, Ada and her parents decided not to apply to Berklee due to the cost of tuition, but a miracle happened one night while Ada was having tea with her mom. They realized the application was due that night and decided to apply in case there was a chance of receiving a scholarship. Ada submitted her application seconds before the deadline. She was invited to come audition in person so her dad drove her to Boston and accompanied her on the Piano while she impressed everyone in the room with her Virtuosic playing and ability to improvise. Her talent and Violin skills earned her one of only seven Presidential (Full Tuition) Scholarships to Berklee, where her life would forever be changed.

While fulfilling Berklee’s academic course load, Ada explored everything from Music Therapy, to Film Scoring, to Jazz, and even joined a Mariachi Band. It was a breakup with her college boyfriend that inspired her very first song ‘Why I Let You Go’. The songwriting gates opened and Ada found herself on a new path as a Singer/Songwriter.

Ada currently has hundreds of songs in her catalog and her multi-genre versatility as a Performer and Songwriter is something you don’t see often. She can go from writing a pop song, to singing jazz, to playing fiddle on a country song effortlessly. The sky is the limit when it comes to her musical talent.

Ada recently experienced a major viral moment when her song ‘Perfectly Imperfect’ was used by more than 500,000 people in their videos on TikTok and Instagram and has accumulated more than 15 million streams worldwide.
