Tatiana (Golda) Amirova (Ukrainian: Тетяна Амірова; born on 23 December, 1993, in Odessa) is a Ukrainian singer and songwriter of Jewish origin performing in the style of Jewish folklore and jazz fusion[1]. She was a finalist in the Ukrainian edition of The Voice[2]. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Golda has lived in London[3].
Education[edit]
Tatiana Amirova graduated from the School_of_Stolyarsky in Odessa as a pianist. Afterwards, she continued studying piano at the Kyiv Conservatory, graduating with honors[1].
Musical career[edit]
Golda started writing and performing songs as she was a student[4]. In 2016, she became a finalist in the Ukrainian edition of The Voice, performing ‘Bei mir bist du shein’[5].
From this point on, Golda started performing songs in Hebrew and Yiddish. She made her own arrangements of old folk tunes fusing them with jazz, soul, and pop[6][2]. She performed this program in America, Canada, Italy, France, Switzerland, Israel, Germany, Kazakhstan, and Moldova[4][7].
In 2021, during the visit of the Israel President Isaac Herzog to Ukraine, Golda performed her cover version of Shma Israel for him[4]. The song was released as a single in 2022.

Musicals[edit]
In 2017, in collaboration with choreographers Elena Kolyadenko and Pavlo Bondarenko and costume designer Nazar Didyk, Golda devised and starred in the musical Yiddish Jazz. It tells a story of a Jewish girl in the form of theatrical cabaret in a modern-vintage style[9][3][10].
In 2022, after moving to the UK as a refugee, Golda released GOLDA. A Musical Story of Love, Loss and Resilience, in which she explores her experience of Russia’s war in Ukraine. The production is a collaboration between Golda, choreographer Pavlo Bondarenko, dress-designer David Koma, and producer Alexandrina Markvo[11][12][7].
Reception[edit]
GOLDA was well received by critics.
Libby Purves wrote: “It’s hypnotic, never a boring note. <…> Explosively joyous, sad, energetic and topical mini-musical. <…> It’s about the hope that springs in any room where songs and stories come alive.”[13]
According to the Russian Art and Culture Journal, “GOLDA is more than just a show; it’s a powerful testament to the strength of the human spirit and the remarkable capacity of art to heal traumas and unite people.”[14]
