EUGENIA KUZMINA

Eugenia Kuzmina is a Russian-American actress, comedian, and model. Her father was a renowned nuclear physicist, who was one of the first responders to the Chernobyl disaster. Her mother is a former scientist and a housewife. Eugenia grew up on food lines in Post Soviet time. She was training to be a professional ice skater when at 13 years old she was pulled out from a group of kids in her school to appear in a Russian version of SNL “Eralash.” She was then cast to appear in Chuck Norris film, but couldn’t leave the country due to visa issues. After appearing in commercials for Coca Cola, L’Oréal and Wrigleys in Moscow, for which she was paid more than her scientist’s dad, she was noticed by a scout at Nathalie Models Europe. She signed a contract and moved to Paris at 15 to work with such brands as Cartier, Dior, Armani, Hermes, Loreal, Vogue among many others…



After Ford Models, then IMG resigned her contract and moved her to the US, she was noticed by Rodrigo Prieto (cinematographer “Wolf Of Wall Street,” “Babel”) to appear in his directorial debut opposite Elle Fanning “Likeness.” The movie was screened at Tribeca Film Festival and received excellent reviews.

MYOA

MYOA is a Singer/Songwriter whose musical journey has catapulted her from the beautiful coast of West Africa to the Queen’s land in England UK, and finally to the immensely diverse and invigorating music scene of the USA. 



In the words of Myoa, which means “God brings joy,” “I was created to inspire and impact certain truths and to give joy to people who listen to my music.” The eldest of three, Myoa began singing in school choirs, competitions and concerts as a young child, penning her first song at the age of 9. “I used to organize mini singing concerts with my sisters and write poems on the blackboard in our dining room.” Although her deep-seeded desire for a career in music continued, she opted for a traditional career path and headed off to pursue a college degree.

 

It was while studying at the University of Plymouth in South West England that she honed her songwriting and keyboard skills and discovered her individuality and purpose. “I spent a lot of my spare time in my room writing music on my keyboard when I wasn’t around the social circle. I became comfortable and confident in who I was and who I wanted to be.” Upon graduation, Myoa pursued a career in Finance and settled into a lifestyle filled with stability and structure, but lacked what she loved most; her music. Feeling there was more to life than the life of number crunching as an accountant, Myoa opted for another path. Resigning from her job, she packed her bags (along with her Master’s Degree & Chartered Certified Qualification in Finance) and decided to explore opportunities to study music in the USA, the sunny, palm tree riddled streets of Los Angeles CA to be exact!

 

Enrolling at Hollywood California’s heralded Musicians Institute, Myoa dove in head first, learning the art of vocal performance & music production and landing a highly coveted internship at the world’s largest music company, Universal Music Group. The rest is history…

 

Myoa sees greater benefit in creating her own lane in the music business than trying to imitate the rifts and runs of today’s Pop & R&B Superstars. “I can’t be someone that I’m not. My voice and my music come from God and there’s no sense in trying sing songs that don’t speak to me or reflect what’s in my soul.” Often compared to the likes of Sade, Basia and Des’ree both of whom enjoyed World Wide acclaim and success.

Co-Produced by Myoa & some other acclaimed Producers. Myoa, believes that recording her first album, Beautiful Journey, “validates all my hard work as an independent artist.”

 

Sure the business is changing, but Myoa loves to take risks. “Music has been embedded in me and so it’s hard for me to imagine life without listening to music, singing or writing. I usually tell myself to keep going; it will all be worth it. I call it faith, and that’s what drives me.”

 

Currently residing in Houston Texas and quickly amassing a local following, Myoa performs live with her band at Hip Trendy Intimate venues.

She Performed at the 2017 Pepsi Super Bowl Event Private Party in Houston.

I grew up in the Denver Metro Area, graduated from Lakewood High School, graduated from the University of Colorado with a degree in Pharmacy and a commission as a Second Lieutenant in the Infantry.​  After the Army I spent over three decades as a Retail Pharmacist.  I'm married, have 3 children and 4 grandchildren.  I served on City Council from 2013 to 2017.  I have shared my views on the path to better government widely; in several opinion articles, a research  paper and many letters to the editor in local papers.  I consider candidates that refuse to give specific, detailed answers to questions about what they want of accomplish as typical politicians, unhelpful to voters and demeaning to the election process.  Good Government needs openness and transparency, especially in the consideration process.   Thru my actions I have worked toward that end.

Elect Bruce Baker to Westminster City Council

I will keep Westminster green by voting to lower the water rates so we can afford to water our landscapes

I will keep Westminster less crowded by honoring the intent of our Open Space Tax and Comprehensive Plan and not increasing housing densities.

I will keep Westminster a good place to live by refocusing the attention of Council on the people that live here TODAY instead of wasting millions of dollars on becoming "the next urban center of the Colorado Front Range.

I will end the ridiculous use of 'consultants' for jobs that should be done by city staff.

The members of City Council should be the stewards of city assets and should use those assets to allow the people of Westminster make their homes, neighborhoods and businesses attractive, inviting places.

The harmful choice that council has made, like the excessive water rates or jamming in thousands of apartments, will harm our homes, neighborhoods and businesses.

When I served on council from 2013 to 2017, I fought for the needs of the people of Westminster and thrifty, smart, efficient, responsive government.  I have the passion, experience and knowledge to reverse the harmful choices that have been made by council.  It is time we return the mission of council to serving the people rather than the ridiculous fantasies and corrupt deals that are wasting our tax dollars.
