- Sound recordings (e.g. "We Are The Same" by Kenny Rogers, producer: Brent Maher)
- Documentaries (e.g. "The Ballad Of Bering Strait", full-length, producer: Nina Gilden Seavey)
- Commercials (e.g. Comcast TV spot, production: Pathlight Studios)
- Promo films (e.g. "Russian Initiative" for UMCOM, producer: Jan Snider)
- Telephone system recordings (e.g. e+CancerCare, supervisor: Parker Gates).

My Training

Been a music business professional (singer, songwriter, keyboard player) since 1996. More info from my official bio:

"Born and raised in Russia, Lydia originally made her stand in the U.S. music scene as a lead vocalist, keyboard player and songwriter for the Grammy-nominated band Bering Strait, which released 2 albums on Universal South Records and was featured in a "60 Minutes" episode, as well as a full-length documentary, "The Ballad Of Bering Strait". The band toured throughout the U.S., sharing the stage with such artists as Trisha Yearwood, Diamond Rio, Steve Azar, Carolyn Dawn Johnson, Collin Raye, Wynonna, Phil Vassar, B-52s, Ricky Skaggs, Kenny Rogers, Kathy Mattea and Bela Fleck.

Being both a skilled singer and a classically trained pianist, Lydia also generously lent her musical talents to other acts, in the studio and on the road; the most notable contribution was her appearance on "We Are The Same" by Kenny Rogers.

Lydia was eventually compelled to leave Bering Strait in 2006 to start searching for her own voice, not that of a singer or a player in a band but that of a solo artist. She has teamed up with Paula Kay at Paula Kay Artist Management, and together they approached producer Alain Mallet (Jonatha Brooke's "Plumb" and "10 Cent Wings", as well as touring and recording with Paul Simon and many others), to produce Lydia's debut project."
