We're thrilled to announce that Ekaterina Shelehova joined Music Traveler as our newest ambassador. Read on to learn about the global musical virtuoso and her impressive journey to success, including a breakout viral performance. There’s no doubt that she has a lot of talent.
Ekaterina Shelehova began studying music when she was just three years old in Hamilton, Ontario. Here, she participated in competitions and concerts, including the prestigious Kiwanis Competition, where she secured first place three times.
During high school, Ekaterina studied at the Conservatory of Music in Toronto, where she earned Gold Medals in Vocal and a diploma for Grade 10 Vocal. She also completed studies in Piano and earned her diploma for ARCT in Piano Pedagogy.
Following her formative years, Ekaterina took her dedication overseas, including:
She's also worked with ERA as the lead signer on the Live Experience Tour and often performs as a soloist with the Worakls Orchestra, named after Kevin Rodrigues, a French DJ, electronic musician, and composer.
Globally “Got Talent”
Ekaterina's 2021 performance in Italia's Got Talent went viral, garnering over 100 million views and catapulting her to global recognition – she even received an invite to write the soundtrack for The Tempest, an Italian movie based on Shakespeare's play.
In 2022, she performed her original composition, “Awakening,” and advanced to the semifinals on Bulgaria's Got Talent.
Reflecting her international background, Ekaterina’s songs resonate with fans and artists worldwide. Here’s just a sample of her work:
