Telliodora is a singer, songwriter, and independent artist who was born in Russia and is based in the UK. Her music has already been played on British radio stations, British media call her "the new strong voice of the British jazz-soul scene," and featured on popular playlists.
Born into a musical family in Russia’s Far East, Telliodora began playing guitar and writing her own songs from an early age. In search of creative freedom and an environment that would allow her to grow as an artist, she moved frequently and followed a long and diverse path — from singing in a gospel choir and collaborating with Russian and international artists to establishing herself as an independent artist creating original music alongside leading musicians from the UK and across Europe.
Today, Telliodora is an international artist and a vocalist with the official British tribute show The Pink Floyd Legacy (The Pink Floyd Show UK), which tours worldwide. She is also a resident artist at the legendary Kozlov Club (named the world’s best jazz club in 2019).
Telliodora performs regularly, delivers vocal and stylistic masterclasses, and has taken part in major television projects in her home country, including "The Songs" and "The Voice." She has also appeared on Evening Urgant (the Russian equivalent of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon).
Telliodora has performed at some of the country’s largest venues in Moscow, and has also taken part in Sofar Sounds UK.
Her debut EP "Nothing Can Help You" was recorded at one of London’s top studios and produced by MckNasty, in collaboration with musicians who have worked with Amy Winehouse, Ledisi, George Michael, Phil Collins, Bonnie Tyler, Gloria Gaynor, Emeli Sandé, and other world-renowned artists. The first singles from the release attracted attention from international media and received airplay on key UK radio stations. Industry publications and listeners alike have described her music as soulful, honest, and inspiring.
Telliodora’s sound is rooted in a classic, old-school aesthetic — warm, organic, and deeply influenced by the spirit of traditional soul. Each song is born from personal emotions and lived experience, built around live instruments rather than samples, and delivered with authenticity and emotional truth. She draws inspiration from an era when songs were written from the heart and strives to preserve that philosophy in every composition.
Telliodora continues to find inspiration from personal stories, creating music that resonates deeply and inspires others.
