Roman Poboinyi is a Ukrainian opera singer (tenor) whose career exemplifies a perfect blend of technical skill and artistic expression. He began his journey in music after initially studying medicine in his hometown. However, in 2010, he decided to pursue his true passion for music, enrolling at the National Music Academy of Ukraine in Kyiv.
