Māra Lisenko
Extreme Vocal Coach
About me
I am a Latvian metal vocalist, vocal coach, and recording artist. I currently sing in the death/thrash/groove metal band MĀRA. Since 2018, we have released 2 EPs, toured Europe, and performed together with metal giants such as Sepultura, Bloodywood, Satyricon, and more.
Since 2011 I am also a vocal coach teaching various extreme and clean singing techniques. I’ve studied Popular Music Performance/Vocals at Thames Valley University (Vocaltech), London, UK, as well as in seminars, masterclasses, and privately with ‘Queen Of The Scream’ Melissa Cross, Rockstar vocal coach Mark Baxter, ‘Death metal phonetician’ Enrico H. Di Lorenzo, “Sepultura” lead singer Derrick Green .
I love doing vocal covers and received great feedback from bands I have covered. My YouTube channel has now reached 1 million views and counting.
As a creator, I run my Patreon page where you can follow my artistic endeavors and receive some cool benefits for your support.
Lastly, I am a recording session vocalist offering professional voice recordings for various metal bands.
I have collaborated on songs with Bjorn Strid from “Soilwork”, Jeff Hughell from “Six Feet Under”, Karl Sanders from “Nile”, “Morphium,” etc.
