Chinawoman is a solo recording artist from Toronto. Her sound can be traced to the exclusive Russian-only clubs of Toronto, where men in silk shirts croon tales of heartache over bossa nova synth, and to the ballet school where Chinawoman spent her youth a spectator of melodrama set to Chopin. Songs are lush with 70's epic and/or Red Army Choir-style choruses, East-European melodies and restrained low-spoken vocals.

Songs are lush with 70's epic and/or Red Army Choir-style choruses, East-European melodies and restrained low-spoken vocals. All songs are written, performed and engineered by Chinawoman, who plays all the instruments. 'The music may appeal to Streisand fans with an edge, European immigrants and their lost-in-the-world grown children'...but really or anyone who just wants to chill out will enjoy her offerings.
