Biography:
In one of his latest interviews with American Women’s magazine, Russian-American singer George Hodos said he did not choose music. Music chose him. When George was just a couple of months old, his mother noticed that he became reticent when he heard music. She intentionally played different genres and styles around the house, observing his reaction. The record of Maria Callas Vissi d’arte (Puccini, Tosca) met the most of his naive admirations. Since then, George has refused to fall asleep without listening to this beautiful musical piece.
At the age of 6, George became well-known in his town as a singing prodigy. He took his first steps into the spotlight when he starred in the musical Oh Painful. Later, George went to the children’s opera The Garden, which toured throughout Russia. Through George’s performance on stage, George’s voice caught the attention of his peers. He was granted several scholarships to attend a school of art Spring that he graduated at the top of his class with honor.
George continued polishing his vocal gift in Russia's highest regarded music academy called The Russian Academy of Theatre Arts.
