Irina Sensah is a songstress based on the Willamette River in Portland. Singing has been her primary source of joy, vitality, and fulfillment since the age of two. Originally from Petropavlovsk, Kazakhstan, she began her musical journey singing karaoke at local bars before evolving into an active singer-songwriter, accompanying herself on guitar. Over time, she has established herself as a full-time professional performer with a distinctive style.
Her vocal style and repertoire ripple with waves of jazz, soul, indie pop, and R&B, blending original storytelling with deep, melodic undercurrents. She draws inspiration from vocal greats like Mariah Carey, Toni Braxton, Whitney Houston, Eva Cassidy, Céline Dion, and Lana Del Rey.
Every performance is a unique and immersive experience, brought to life by talented musicians from around the world. She often performs alongside piano, upright bass, saxophone, and trumpet, crafting a rich and dynamic sound.
In addition to her performing career, Irina runs her own music studio, My Tender Voice, in Portland and continues to grow her YouTube channel (Irina Sensah), sharing her artistry with a global audience.
