Homeless Subway Singer Lands Major Recording Contract After Video Goes Viral

Emily Zamourka, a homeless Russian singer who went viral for an incredible performance in a Los Angeles subway, was offered a major record deal.

Grammy-nominated music producer Joel Diamond spoke to TMZ after they broke the story, saying he wrote an offer letter for Zamourka in the hopes of making a “huge classical-EDM crossover hit record for the subway soprano.”

Diamond said under the deal; the first record would be called “Paradise” and released on Silver Blue Records, which he founded in 1973, according to the New York Post.

The producer and the rest of the world first learned of the singer after the Los Angeles Police Department tweeted a video of her singing opera in a subway station.

The internet immediately fell for the 52-year-old, who became homeless after her medical bills became too much. Zamourka moved to the United States more than 20 years ago and was a violin and piano teacher before falling ill. 

“I have people that feel sorry for me, but I don’t want to be a burden to anybody,” she told ABC 7.

Along with the record deal, two GoFundMe campaigns have raised thousands of dollars for Zamourka, one surpassing $52,000 and the other tipping $32,000 according to the reports.

TMZ reported she already booked a gig singing at an Italian heritage event in Los Angeles on Saturday.
