with a focus on vocal performance, and shortly thereafter immigrated to Seattle to further her musical career. She collaborated with a few local folk/rock/Latin bands who performed in various venues, festivals, benefit concerts, and private events around the greater Seattle area. such as Sunset Tavern, Comet, Chop Suey, Mix Lounge, and Artopia festival. Between 2012-2014, Alina traveled in South America and Europe, which recharged and refreshed her perspective about the importance of being exposed to a wide variety of distinct local music and art. This sparked the idea of going back to school, which led Alina to continue her studies, and pursue her music degree at Cornish.
