Aziza Poggi

I am a Classically Trained Mezzo Soprano singer with a range from D3 to C#6. I sing mostly Mezzo repertoire but have sung many Soprano arias and art songs as well. I also still take weekly opera lessons as I am training to do operatic roles. I am a professional singer and can sing in French, Italian, German, English, Spanish, Latin and some Greek. I also know IPA. I have sung throughout the world traveling for festival performances from Europe and all throughout the USA. I have my own repertoire but happy to sing whatever you would like for your event and learn new music and or suggested for your event. I also can help select the right music for your event if you need help with music selections.

Aziza Poggi is a cross over artist hailing from the Midwest who sings rock, classical, opera, musical theater, pop, and is a recording artist on top of running her own studio as a Voice Instructor & Talent Coach. She has been seen in Metal Hammer, Classical Singer, and Vocals Magazine. She also has toured the country and in Europe at Metal Female Voices Festival (as a soloist and with her band Aria Flame), Femme Festival in Eindhoven (which headlined Lacuna Coil) along with performing at classical recitals and concerts. Her former metal band Dendura, had done film scoring for Comedy Central's web series "Monsters Ballz" along with opening for nationals Epica, Scar Symmetry, Fuel, Doro Pesch, and more. Dendura and her current band Aria Flame also worked with Grammy Producer Neil Kernon.

Aziza has been trained prior by Mary Zimmer (White Empress, Luna Mortis on Century Media Records), Melissa Ferlaak (EchoTerra, Visions of Atlantis on Napalm Records), to international opera singer Nicholas Loren, Diane Penning, and Grand Rapids Community College Music Co-Chair Dr. Stephen Barton. She believes if you want to be great at it, you must fuel your brain with all the knowledge you can with your desired craft. She currently is training for operatic goals with once again Nicholas Loren.

Aziza's career has also expanded into recording projects where she was chosen to sing for doom metal band Amarna Sky (featuring Karl Sanders on guitar from the death metal band
NILE (Nuclear Blast Records). She also has former acting experience and film work experience where she educates her career-minded students on the business as well. Some of the former films she worked for were "61" HBO Films, directed by Billy Crystal, and "Hardball" Paramount Pictures with Keanu Reeves and Diane Lane.

Aziza has found her balance by observing traditional rules with classical training and creating
her own. Her influences range from Muse, Tarja, Nightwish, Korn, Nevermore, to Enya and classical artists Renee Fleming and Maria Callas,

Aziza formerly was an honors student at Grand Rapids Community College and is currently expanding her knowledge in music and education at
Berklee College of Music where she has been consistently on the Dean's list since 2021 working on the fundamentals needed to pursue her singing and teaching into full time. Aside from music, Aziza is also a perfumer and candle maker, making her own fragrances in her private laboratory.

If this is a classical or operatic event or performance, a microphone is not needed unless the room is too big for the the voice. I am technically a Dramatic Mezzo Soprano where I do have a big voice that can be heard in a big room but with amplification, I will need to bring my microphone and need to be plugged into your system.

If you are hiring me for a wedding singer and live band, I will need to be plugged in your system and can bring my own microphone and in ear monitor system.
