Aleksandr (Sasha) Voinov (born July 31, 1997) is a Russian and American pianist. Born in Bristol to Russian parents, Sasha came to the U.S. when he was just 18 months old. He began studying piano at the age of five and then four years later joined the City Music Center of Duquesne University after his parents and teachers discovered Sasha's talent and passion for music. Sasha currently continues his studies with the music school and studies piano performance, composition, and music technology.

A winner of multiple local, regional, national and international piano and composition competitions, by the age of twelve Sasha had his debut with a professional orchestra, composed two dozen original compositions and songs, including his first Piano Concerto for piano and Symphony orchestra, performed in live radio broadcasts, and in various public concerts, including solo performances. He released his first solo album the following year, which accompanied his inaugural appearances with the acclaimed Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.

To date, Sasha has composed and recorded several hundred pieces, including solo piano works, music for classical ensembles, electronic arrangements, and collaborations with numerous vocalists and producers worldwide.
