Life
Michelle Gurevich was born in Toronto, Ontario, to Russian immigrants and was raised with Russian as her first language. Her father was an engineer in Soviet Leningrad and her mother a Kirov ballerina (the subject of Chinawoman's "Russian Ballerina"). Gurevich originally wanted to become a filmmaker and worked ten years in the industry before turning to music. "I eventually tried to write a song and found it was not only cheaper, but much easier to get a good result."
Gurevich initiated her music career by recording in her bedroom. The stage name "Chinawoman" was selected on a whim as a jest when Garageband requested a name for her band.
Chinawoman has cited Alla Pugacheva, Adriano Celentano, Charles Aznavour, Yoko Ono, Francis Lai, Nino Rota, Xavier Dolan, Todor Kobakov, Jennifer Castle, and filmmaker Federico Fellini as influences on her music.
In 2012, "Lovers are Strangers" was the theme song for the Latvian film Kolka Cool.
In 2013, "Russian Ballerina" was featured on the commercial for the Nokia Lumia 1020.
In 2014, Gurevich's song "Party Girl" inspired the 2014 French film Party Girl.
