Journalists found the singer and learned about her fate. As ABC7 reports, the mysterious woman who captivated the entire Internet with her amazing soprano turned out to be a Russian singer - she is 52 years old and her name is Emily Zamurka.

“Do you know why I do this on the subway? Because it sounds so cool here,” she said.

Zamurka came to the USA from Russia at the age of 24 years. As a professional violinist and pianist, she taught music. Emily worked on several jobs to make ends meet. She even played the violin on the street, but three years ago her expensive instrument was stolen when Emily performed in downtown Los Angeles.

“That’s when I became homeless. I couldn’t pay my bills and I couldn’t pay rent anymore,” she said.

Shortly afterwards, Zamurka was kicked out of rented housing. And then Emily began to sing.

“I’m sleeping on cardboard right now, right in the parking lot,” she said. “I sleep where I can sleep... There are people who feel sorry for me, but I don’t want to be a burden to anyone.”

Although she did not learn the classical skills of opera singing, Emily said that she sings for the sake of her love of music.

Zamurka dreams that one day she will be able to make music again.
