Ophelia
From Clumsy Media
Duscha Hai Yusupov (born September 11), is commonly known by her stage name Ophelia or Geum Hae Ah, is a singer, actress, composer, lyricst. Yusupov is known in the industry by her unique lyric mezz-soprano vocal range and deep conversational tone voice. She's an active member in the Korean indie project group Coffee Musicians as a third generation member and writer at the script media team T.O.M. Besides her solo work, she is credited to be the background force of many artists, especially new debut idol groups, such as EXO and NU'EST.
Born in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, a city in Khabarovsk Krai, Russia, she was discovered by talent agency Clumsy Media through artist Tablo at one of his his fan meetings in Seoul, South Korea. The company was reported to have invested heavily on strengthing her talent. She constantly travelled across Asia for different musical teachers who are best in their area. Some of her known teachers include award winning violinist Kim Chee Yun, famed musical professor pianist Lim Dong Min, contemporary classical music composer Toshio Hosokawa and singer Lin Shu Ji and Lee Jin Hwa.
In 2012, after three years of training in multiple areas, she debuted officially with her a digital single, Strawberry Fields Forever and Heartstrings in both Japan and Korea. They went on to receive great critical acclaim from both the public and professionals. She is the first artist to have two #1 singles in Korea and Japan at the same time. However after the publication of three more singles and two more mini albums in both countries she announced a singing hiatus in the same year, meaning she would not be releasing any materials with her voice involved, crediting 'personal difficulties' to be the reason with no set return date. Her company revealed from now on she will be focusing heavily on producing music for other artists instead.
Besides her own endeavours Ophelia has also produced for others such as B1A4 and C.N.Blue.
