Oksana’s musical journey began at the age of six in her hometown of Riga, Latvia, where she started studying both piano and voice. By the age of twelve, Oksana made her debut at Carnegie Hall in New York, marking the start of an international career that would take her to some of the most prestigious concert halls across Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Her formal training in music continued at the High Music College of Jazeps Medins in Latvia, where she studied Vocal Performance under the guidance of Natalia Kozlova. It was during these formative years that Oksana discovered her deep love for opera and realized her dream of becoming an operatic soprano. Her talent and dedication led to significant accolades, including first prizes at the Barry Alexander International Vocal Competition in New York City in 2012 and 2014, as well as first prize for Most Promising Singer at a competition in Graz, Austria. Throughout her time in Latvia, she presented two solo concerts and recorded two CDs.

During her time at the Academy, she worked with an esteemed roster of teachers and coaches, including Catherine Benson, Elizabeth Ritchie, James Baillieu, Michael Dussek, and Richard Stokes. Her studies culminated in several significant achievements, including a performance of Schumann’s Myrthen, her selection as a member of the prestigious “Song Circle”. She participated in a masterclass with renowned soprano Susan Bullock, and also performed in the Academy’s “Opera Scenes”. In November 2018, Oksana was personally invited by the Artistic Director of Sequenda Opera Studio to take part in masterclasses with the acclaimed mezzo-soprano Jennifer Larmore, an opportunity fully funded by the Government of Luxembourg. In 2019, she concluded her studies with a win in the highest division of the Barry Alexander competition and a return performance at Carnegie Hall.
Following her graduation from the Royal Academy of Music, Oksana continued her studies at the Royal College of Music, where she pursued a Master of Performance degree, supported by the Bruce-Payne Vaseppi Scholarship. She studied under the tutelage of internationally renowned mezzo-soprano Patricia Bardon and graduated with Distinction in 2021.
