Leonid & Friends

U.S. TOUR DATES – GET TICKETS  HERE

Ksenia Buzina is a Russian singer and musical artist who was born on September 28, 1989 in Chita. Since childhood she was fond of music and languages. She attended The Children’s Art School at the Department of General Aesthetic Education.

Buzina rose to fame after  her appearance in The Voice of Russia. She was also a contestant on the TV show Golos, the Russian version of The Voice, in 2014. However, she appeared in only two episodes.

For me though, Buzina is best recognized as the only female member of the band Leonid & Friends as it wasn’t until I saw her singing back-up on the Earth Wind and Fire opus – In The Stone that she caught my attention, amd  am so glad that she did.

Ain’t Nobody

Okay, let me just put in the disclaimer that NOBODY beats Chaka Khan when it concerns Chaka’s vocals, therefore it goes without saying that even though Ksenia Buzina is no exception to Khan’s vocal supremacy, she does give us her all. 

Besides her Russian accent is darn cute to listen to  as well.

Don’t get it twisted by thinking that my interest in Ksenia Buzina is because she’s an attractive white woman with rhythm, because she can SING!!!!!!
