Olin Langlois
Olin Langlois is a singer, songwriter and accomplished voice, piano, guitar, and music teacher. In her formative years, she took violin lessons while studying piano and guitar as secondary instruments. At the Balakirev College of Nizhny Novgorod, Olin studied jazz voice and pedagogy, while actively performing on various music projects and working as a vocal coach. After graduating, Olin moved to Moscow to further study voice at The Maimonides State Classic Academy for another 4 years.
For about the past 20 years, Olin has been a lead singer in music theater, gospel choir and numerous music bands. She has also held residencies at multiple venues and was a part of the annual singing of Handel’s “Messiah”. Olin’s styles cover soul, blues, RnB, jazz, bossa nova, gospel and her original music is a unique combination of these genres.
At the same time that her teaching style was developing, Olin continued to work as a vocal coach. More and more she realized that singing is a holistic process and it involves and effects both physical and metal well being. During her singing and teaching career, Olin has witnessed the positive therapeutic effects of music and vocal breathing techniques on children and adults. She realized while it’s important to work on music skills, it’s even more important to receive joy, confidence, comfort and be able to express yourself with your voice or musical instrument.
It is Olin’s strong belief that music is for everyone, whether you can sing in tune or not. Just like we all have a heartbeat, we can all play a beat. We only need to listen more carefully for it to sink in.
