About

Arına Riț (real name Irina Gregorievna Toporeț, born April 17, 1981, in Bălți, Moldavian SSR) is a singer and vocal pedagogue from the Republic of Moldova who has built a remarkable career in the Russian Federation. She began her artistic journey in childhood at the children's variety theater "Menestrelii" under the direction of Irina Moraru, then was part of the vocal-instrumental ensemble "Prahim". In 1998, she left her hometown to study at RATI (GITIS) at the Faculty of Variety Actor, which she graduated with honors in 2002, gaining experience in musical productions during her studies. Arına Riț's solo career developed through fruitful collaborations with renowned composers and arrangers, particularly with Ilya Pugovkin, with whom she recorded the solo album "Marea dragostei mele" (The Sea of My Love), a work that included her own compositions both textually and musically. She worked as a soloist in the musical groups "Ассорти" (Assorti) and later "N.A.O.M.I", participating in the recording of new songs and the promotion of collective albums. The group "Ассорти" released two notable albums: "Dragoste frumoasă" (Beautiful Love) and "Culorile dragostei mele" (The Colors of My Love), the latter including the author's song "Aprinde-mi trupul" (Light My Body), for which a music video was later made. Currently, Arına Riț is also known as a singing teacher, being the founder of an online vocal school where she teaches according to her own methodology titled "The Shameless Voice". Her pedagogical approach focuses on developing vocal confidence and freeing oneself from the fear of expression, combining vocal technique with psychological aspects of sound. With 15 years of teaching experience and 25 years in the field of voice, she works with both beginners and professional artists and media personalities, promoting a calming and constructive learning method based on acceptance and emotional safety.
