Singer/pianist, GRAMMY nominee

What a joy it was to work with Lydia! In addition to her excellent communication skills, she performed the piano and vocal tracks with absolute precision. She executed my vision to perfection.

A masterpiece by a masterful musician. Lydia gave me piano, her priceless lead vocal, along with intricate woven strings and background vocals with pop choral style layers even. Give her TOTAL trust of your tune and the listener will have your Single on repeat if you let he do her thing. Immense piano talent, the Mozart of pop art! She's so good in fact that I didn't let those I work with hear the song "Hush" till she finished, and they sum it up...beautiful, amazing bgvs! and...Wow! Amazing!

I just watched the Home Run Derby, and in baseball terms Lydia is a consistent home run champion!!! She is a pleasure to work with, and extremely intuitive. A musical pearl of great price!

Lydia really came through on “All That Love Allows”! Gorgeous interpretation and arrangement from the basic work tape I sent. She is super talented, prompt and intuitive! 5 stars, plus a few more!!!

This is my second time working with Lydia, and I’m blown away! I didn’t see how she could top the previous song, but she did! Prompt, professional and perfect! Looking forward to the next one!

Another great job by Lydia. Excellent tone and quality to the BVs and very professional in her communication and delivery. I will definitely work with her again.

Lydia is a once in a lifetime find x over 30 in my case. Three years ago I needed bgvs and spelled it out on what to sing, no problem, she adapts, but I found out instantly she hears more than I can, and future bgvs were her call. She does lead vocals like Country...old time, Pop and even tragic! haha. She sings Due Lipa Pop, Gaga like Power ballads & gorgeous voice and piano moments to soothe the soul. She can give you B3 Organ, Rhodes, solo piano and arranges full orchestration too! The best!

This was my first project with Soundbetter and Lydia was a dream to work with. She understood the requirements and delivered a fantastic vocal performance that aligned with my vision. I was delighted with the results and can highly recommend her. In addition to the vocal performance Lydia was friendly and professional, with excellent communication all throughout the process.

Excellent and fantastic. All the positive superlatives that there are. Killer vocals and arrangement.

Lydia’s vocals were pitch perfect, and her treatment and interpretation were top notch! Looking forward to future collaborations!

I love to make it as hard as I can for Lydia in a good way, she loves a challange. I hear her voice when writing and this time she was saying, "let's make a rocker with some bite and sass"! Haha, then she simply tore it up. She even layered harmonies for depth and put more into this potential future hit than she needed to! Why? Because she thought it needed that little extra push. Who does that? A truly unique and remarkable lady with a talent that lives on through the ages!

I worked with Lydia on a piano piece that will be published as a solo piano work, as well as in versions with other instruments.

I would gladly consider working with Lydia again in the future.

Thank you very much for helping make my project a reality. My work is mainly in music direction and production, as well as composition, rather than performance.

Thank you,

I'm new to SoundBetter and having spent hours listening to talented vocalists on the site, I selected Lydia based on her great demos and the long list of feedback. Expectations were high! However Lydia far exceeded these from start to finish, great comms, took time to understand the track and my vision for it, ultimately delivering fantastic lead and harmonies first time without any revisions required. And quickly! Already working on the next project for collaboration with her. Thank you Lydia!

Lydia was an absolute pro and excellent to work with. Her vocals fit perfectly and are exactly what I was hoping for. She’s also friendly and a great communicator, looking forward to working with her again soon!

Lydia was so great to work with. She was super understanding, responsive, and had an even had a quicker turnaround time than expected. She was thoughtful in her approach and communication and couldn't ask for a better collaboration.

Another wonderful job

Lydia is such a talented songwriter! Def recommend working with her!

It’s always the best decision to have Lydia play piano and sing too as she feels the song above the norm and she brings you great results. This time I asked for piano on a moving ballad I will sing but she still gives you that same emotional keys that elevates both the song and your performance so she is always…win, win! She only cares about her clients and our being happy with what she brings to the table. Such a joy to work with. Her goal is to have your song reach full potential. She Shines!

Can you imagine having a job where you wake up thinking, “how can I change the world in a positive way today”? And then actually do it? Thats what Lydia did today! She took my raw guitar track and transposed it to piano and sang it so so heavenly! It’s bound to stir the hearts of everyone who hears this song around the world. Songs easily reach 50 to 100 different countries on any given day if good on Spotify, Apple, Amazon etc. and because of Lydia my song will be heard again and again!

Working with Lydia Salnikova has been nothing short of incredible. I’m beyond grateful to have collaborated with her not once but twice — and each experience has been magical. Lydia’s voice, professionalism, and artistic sensitivity brought my theme song for A Johnson Family Witchmas to life, along with two additional songs that will appear in my upcoming stage play. Her vocals are rich, emotional, and instantly elevate the music, and she is forever a part of my Witchmas family!
