Biography

Topuria has been involved in music since childhood. In 1998, she graduated from Gogi Sudradze Music School in Tblisi, and in 2003, graduated music school with a specialty in vocals. Also in 2003, Topuria was accepted into the State University of Georgia psychology department, but declined after being selected to replace Polina Griffith in the group A-Studio and moved to Moscow.
