What do you get when you mate a pimp with a Russian ballerina? Raised in a baroque bedroom in the Russian hood of Toronto, and influenced by 70's and 80's European pop, her music-snob friends say that, if nothing else, Chinawoman's music is definitely her own.

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. The music is 80's, euro trash, low-fi. The vocal style: some say Barry Manilow (another Russian-Jew) though Chinawoman prefers Tom Jones. The result: an eighties nightclub with the innocence of the old world, a theatrical lightness that remains soulful and with purpose.

The 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, indie fans who don't get embarrassed too easily, lovers of the 80's, guys who secretly dream of a woman bossing them around, and the girlfriends of guys who secretly dream of a woman bossing them around.
