About Me
Angelina Miers (formerly known as Angelina Kolobukhova) was born and raised in Minsk, Belarus. She fell in love with singing when she met her voice teacher, Veronika Yanovskaya, who introduced Angelina to jazz music and sparked the fascination with Ella Fitzgerald’s improvisation and Ray Charles’s soulful singing. While receiving her primary education, Angelina participated in international vocal competitions and festivals in Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States. At 17, Angelina released her first single, Off the Road.
That same year she was awarded a scholarship to attend Adelphi University’s Honors College and moved to the United States. Initially, she intended to follow her parents’ footsteps in medicine, but later decided to pursue music and double-majored in Jazz Studies and Cognitive Neuroscience. Angelina graduated summa cum laude in May 2022.
Professionally, Angelina performed at top jazz venues in the U.S. and abroad, including Ornithology Jazz Club, Birdland Jazz Club, Konzerthaus Berlin, the Clifford Brown Jazz Festival (as part of the Boysie Lowery Living Jazz Residency), among many others. As a songwriter, Angelina collaborated with NPR Live and Sofar Sounds in showcasing her original music. In 2024 and 2025 Angelina became the finalist of the prestigious Ella Fitzgerald Competition. Most recently she has been on tour in Europe with the JM Jazz World Orchestra lead by Luis Bonilla and is currently working on her second single and her debut recording.
