Nominjin (Mongolian: Номинжин) is a Mongolian rhythm and blues singer. She launched her career in 2003 at age 14 after studying under vocal coach Roger Love.[1] Raised by her Mongol biological mother and American stepfather, she has lived in Russia, Mongolia, India, and the Caribbean due to her parents' work; as a result, she speaks fluent English and Mongolian and several other languages including Russian and Malayalam. Some media reports state that she speaks English better than Mongolian. She has toured abroad in Russia (Irkutsk), the United States (Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver, Chicago, and Washington, D.C.), Turkey, India, the Caribbean, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand.[2][3] In 2005, she contributed her voice to the John Lennon remix album Peace, Love & Truth.[4]. In 2007 EMI Records released her cover of "Take Me to Your Heart" on the compilation "Best of 10 Years: Love". She has had more than ten #1 hits, released more than 12 music videos and won numerous awards.[citation needed]
