I had a lot of fun writing and recording Queen Of Sin - our first EP that comes out June 2nd. It has a nice diversity of rock subgenres - you can find some post-hardcore, nu-metal, alternative tunes in it. QoS is a sort of defial for those who say rock and sex can't go together. "Make Rock Sexy Again." We wanted to get a mix of hard rock tunes and guitar riffs with sensual feminine vocals and dominatrix attitude. - MOSCOW

Call her Tsaritsa (queen) like the Russian rockers all do, or call her Moscow – her nom de guerre in the international music scene - but you are going to call (attention to) this talented young lady who embodies the rebellious spirit of rock and the consummate class of royalty.

Young, Russian, Free and Beautiful, a 16-year Moscow (then known as Elizaveta Tursunova) struck out on her own to explore the world. Not wanting to be tied down to the wealthy young businessmen who had been trying to impress her, her young Russian schoolmates that adored her, or the rockers on the scene who hung on her every word, she fled to Cambridge, England.

Never satisfied to stay in one place or know only one way of life, Moscow traveled to and lived in London, Paris, New York and Los Angeles, growing even more bold and worldly with every stop.

From the age of 15, Moscow was a part of the Russian music scene. “In Russia, the market is dominated by cheap pop music. It is next to impossible for a rock/metal band to break out. I hung out with some really dedicated and talented people, they taught me not to give up,” Moscow remembers. “They all thought I was older - I think I celebrated my 18th birthday for 5 years straight.” When she was in Cambridge and New York, Moscow was trained in musical theater and became a triple threat – dancing, singing and acting. “Musical theater will always be in my heart. Anytime I visit Broadway or the West End, I must go see a new musical. In London, I became friends with the cast of Rock Of Ages,” she explained. She decided to bring that musical’s premise to life and become the rocker she was destined to be.

Throughout her travels, there was something missing… something she found in Los Angeles. The Sunset Strip music scene spoke to her sense of rock history and her musical style. Having read about all her favorite artists’ lives in Los Angeles (MOTLEY CRUE, STEVEN TYLER, SLASH) the Sunset Strip seemed surreal to Moscow. It was there that she put down roots to record her material and the “Queen Of Sin” video. Her approach is summed up by her quote “In popular music, I believe it’s time to look back to our roots - the richness of Muddy Waters, the theatricality of ALICE COOPER, the romanticized excess of MOTLEY CRUE - and combine what we learn from them with a 21st century outlook,” says Moscow.

The team of Shawn McGhee and Brian Steel Madina produced Queen Of Sin. “Working with Moscow was straight fire. From the moment she walked in the studio we knew she had something amazing to offer,” says producer, Shawn McGhee. “She has the attitude and the talent to back it up,” adds co-producer, Brian Steel Madina. “It's refreshing to work with someone who has such a clear vision of her endgame. Moscow is a force to be reckoned with.”

She collaborated with RAGE (TRIVIUM, HATEBREED, ESCAPE THE FATE) on the “Queen Of Sin” video – making it an epic presentation of her talent, power and beauty. “She fit her name, one would think she's already toured the world several times and have sold a few million albums... On set she was fearless, her natural charisma just overwhelms you...even my crew, some of whom are just hip hop heads, as well as some of the background talent were all asking for her autograph and wanting pictures by the end of the day,” explains RAGE. “She was transforming herself in that very moment and it was with no effort, because in my opinion not only is MOSCOW ready to sneak attack the world of rock and metal but she is truly and wonderfully...'The Queen of Sin'.“

Just breaking into her 20s and breaking into the music world, she is wise beyond her years. “We all have God and the devil in us. That is where the spark for Queen Of Sin came from,” she explains. That spark is destined to set the rock world afire in 2017!
