Alinka Angelova

Alinka Angelova was born in Toronto Ontario on June 30^th 1979. Ever since she can remember, she has always been a talented songwriter, actor, director, and singer who loves to perform. She was born to be on stage. It is where she is most comfortable.

From the very tender age of six or seven, she showed that she was very creative as a writer and performer. She also included others…her younger brother being her first protégé. She would write the short skits and both of them would sing and act them out to the enjoyment of family and friends. As she got a little older (still under 10), she formed her own singing group of kids her age and younger, who performed often at the Church.

As an adult now, Alinka still writes her own songs and can compose a song in a matter of minutes. She also writes plays and musicals and does very well with children. In 2004 she produced and directed her very own children’s talent show called ‘Born to be a Star!’ which portrayed the talents of kids 6-18 and proved to be a tremendous success. Her talent for writing, singing, and acting, all came to light even more in her children’s musical, ‘At Last’, which she produced in 2004 and 2005.

Alinka has a wide variety of other accomplishments to her credit such as, Top 32 in Canadian Idol, Productions singer aboard Renaissance, Carnival Cruise lines, the completion of her first album…’No Boundaries’(with all her songs original) and more…

Alinka is not only a very talented young lady but a balanced one as well. So, you will find her to be very loveable, easy to work with, and someone who in her spare time enjoys; theme parks, painting, writing, salsa dancing and going to the movies.

She is someone you can count on!
