Ksana (born Oksana Serhiyenko) is an excruciatingly energetic singer armed with a unique voice and stage presence that can only be described as larger than life.  She was originally discovered performing in a nightclub by music industry veteran Martin Heath of Lizard King Records, most noted for inking deals with artists ranging from Santigold to The Killers.  Under Heath’s guidance, Ksana began to develop her own brand of post-Soviet-meets-American industrial metal and formed the group OXZANA.  After recording a cover of ‘’The Show Must Go On’’ by Freddie Mercury in her bedroom, KSANA’s YouTube Channel exploded, leading to a call to participate in “The Voice (Golos)” where she made it to the semi finals. KSANA’s first Russian single, ‘’ОТПУСТИ” (LET ME GO), took life in a different route.  KSANA continues on writing her own music and experimenting with the sound.
