My name is Aziza Poggi and I am a classically trained Mezzo-soprano singer. I sing a lot of events from classical concerts, fundraiser events, corporate parties, weddings, and casino gigs. I sing primarily classical, operatic, Broadway, and rock but I also have a lot of experience singing Middle Eastern fusion music, aka oriental music. I am also trained in IPA (International Phonetics Alphabet) and still train to keep my voice top shape with a world-known opera coach on a weekly basis. I am very professional and will work efficiently on your project. I also teach voice & have a Bachelor of Arts at Berklee College of Music 2025.

January 2, 2026Aziza was an absolute delight to work with! Her powerful voice, sensitivity, and professionalism shone through in every performance. She was always prepared, open to feedback, and brought a unique energy to our concerts together. I feel lucky to have shared the stage with her!

I am a Classically Trained mezzo-soprano singer with a range from D3 to C#6. I sing mostly Mezzo repertoire but have sung many Soprano arias and art songs as well. I also still take weekly opera lessons as I am training to do operatic roles. I am a professional singer and can sing in French, Italian, German, English, Spanish, Latin and some Greek. I also know IPA. I have sung worldwide, traveling for festival performances in Europe and throughout the USA. I have my own repertoire but happy to sing whatever you would like for your event and learn new music and or suggestions for your event. I can also help you select the right music for your event if you need help with music selections.
NOTE: I have a lot of recorded music. The first three songs on my audio listings are classical and the last two are from my hard rock band Aria Flame. I have a lot more by request.
Aziza Poggi is an award-winning, classically trained mezzo-soprano and dynamic crossover artist based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. She blends opera, musical theatre, rock, pop, and contemporary music, performing with a rich and expressive voice across genres.
She has performed as a soloist and in ensembles with the West Michigan Opera Project and regularly appears for events, one-off concerts, and her own recitals. In April 2025, she appeared at Carnegie Hall with the West Michigan Opera Project, singing Carmen’s part in “Votre toast” and in the ensemble for “Nessun Dorma” and “The Flower Duet.”
In September and October 2025, Aziza performed in a Mozart Concert Series and later joined the West Michigan Opera Project and the Southwest Symphony, where she again sang Carmen’s part in “Votre toast” and performed in the ensemble for A Night at the Opera with full orchestra. She also made her debut with Opera Grand Rapids in the chorus for Gilbert & Sullivan’s H.M.S. Pinafore.
A decorated competitor, she has earned First Prize (Gold) in the Erik Satie International Music Competition, First Place in the New York Classical Music Competition, Third Place in the International Schubert Competition Vienna, along with honorable mentions.
In addition to her classical career, Aziza has toured internationally with her symphonic rock band, Aria Flame, performing at European festivals like Metal Female Voices Fest and Femme Festival. She earned her BA in Interdisciplinary Music Studies from Berklee College of Music in June 2025, trains with master opera coach Nicholas Loren, and operates a private voice studio in Grand Rapids. Aziza also does acting, with recent shoots for Meijer Corporation and the American Diabetes Association.
If this is a classical or operatic event or performance, a microphone is not needed unless the room is too big for the the voice. I am technically a Dramatic Mezzo Soprano where I do have a big voice that can be heard in a big room but with amplification, I will need to bring my microphone and need to be plugged into your system.
If you are hiring me for a wedding singer and live band, I will need to be plugged in your system and can bring my own microphone and in ear monitor system.

All-day event
I can learn songs fairly quickly. But here is my current repertoire list. I am adding on to it all the time. More coming soon! Also feel free to send me your suggested songs and I can tell you if I can sing them or not. Also, if its an 80s song, I probably already know it. I have a huge 80s catalog from pop rock, hard rock, metal, contemporary, and soft rock. I can also do themed events for you. Classical, contemporary, opera arias, pop, rock, metal, Christmas, ceremonial, etc..
