Ksenia, has officially released her latest single, "It's My Birthday." Produced by Mario Marchetti (Demi Lovato, JoJo, Super Junior) and co-written by Ksenia, this single was inspired by 50 Cent's classic
"In Da Club" infused with an empowering message. In a world where ageism unfairly impacts women, Ksenia's lyrics unabashedly proclaim, "It's my birthday! Still got it! Still the mother fucking life of the party!" The explicit yet non-offensive nature of her lyrics aims to resonate with women facing ageism, delivering a powerful message of self-confidence and resistance against societal norms. Ksenia states “I wanted to release a song for those girls in their late 20’s who think they’re officially too old for Leonardo DiCaprio.”
As a small-town Russian girl with big dreams, Ksenia has successfully made a name for herself, garnering over 400k followers across Instagram and TikTok and millions of streams across all platforms. Ksenia's journey from singing at birthday parties and weddings in Russia, to performing on iHeart Radio Live Sessions in NYC, is a testament to her determination and growth. Overcoming language barriers and redefining her artistic identity, Ksenia has successfully fused together her comedic flair with the emotional depth showcased in her music.
Having collaborated on past and upcoming projects with renowned producer Mario Marchetti (Demi Lovato, JoJo), and accomplished writers Gino Barletta (Katy Perry, Daya, Selena Gomez) and Melanie Fontana (Justin Bieber, The Chainsmokers, Britney Spears), Ksenia has consistently delivered infectious hits. Her 2020 release of "Fire with Fire," reached #47 on the iTunes pop chart and graced billboards in New York's Times Square.

MORE INFO:
Russian-born and now LA-based, Ksenia began integrating her brand of tongue-in-cheek comedy into her music, often poking fun at the cultural follies of her homeland, while leaning into observational humor around societal issues. She’s now taken that comedy component directly to the stage, and has been performing her stand up routines across the USA (The Comedy Store, The Laugh Factory, Comedy Cellar NYC, The Comedy Chateau, Dangerfield’s Comedy Club, Flappers, UCB, The Hollywood Improv, The Hollywood Comedy, HaHa Club).
Initially navigating the realm of sad pop songs, Ksenia channeled her experiences as a Russian woman, expressing the depth of her emotions through her music. A whole album emerged from this period, encapsulating the essence of her journey and the universal theme of suffering. Despite her musical prowess, Ksenia encountered roadblocks in releasing her work, grappling with the challenge of navigating the music
industry independently. In a pivotal moment during her sad singing shows, an unintentional foray into humor opened a new chapter. Embracing the unexpected laughter from her audience, Ksenia decided to take a stand-up comedy class. Her unique brand of humorous rap, influenced by her stand-up routine, stands as a testament to resilience and creative innovation, embodying the spirit of an artist unafraid to redefine her narrative.
