 Born and raised in San Diego, Rossina embarked on her musical journey at the age of four, studying under Russian pedagogical tradition from the Ugorski heritage. Four years later, at the age of eight, Rossina shattered records as the youngest pianist to grace the stage of Copley Hall with the San Diego Symphony.  A series of competition wins quickly followed, with critics acclaiming her as a prodigy, captivated by her electrifying technique and rare emotional depth. This paved the way for her admission to the Juilliard School of Music in her early teens. At Juilliard, Rossina's prodigious talent swept through  venues such as Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall. Her tours across Europe and Asia have been resounding triumphs, selling out legendary venues and earning rapturous standing ovations.

By the age of sixteen, Rossina was recognized as one of the top 1% of candidates in the exceptionally selective auditions at the Shanghai Theatre Academy (STA), one of China’s leading institutions for film and theatre disciplines. Her immersion in the dramatic arts has cultivated a performance style and charisma that is transcendent—an ethereal presence that is spellbinding, defying replication. Rossina’s unique background of Italian and Shanghainese heritage imbues her artistry with a mesmerizing intensity.  
 
Her inimitable talent has garnered praise from iconic figures in the music world, including Gary Graffman, President of the Curtis Institute, Dmitri Bashkirov, Juror of the Tchaikovsky Competition and Fundación Banco Santander Piano Chair of the Reina Sofia School, Dame Fanny Waterman DBE, founder, chair and artistic director of the Leeds Competition, Maestro Gábor Takács-Nagy of the Takács Quartet and Music Director of the Verbier Festival, James Anagnoson, Dean of the Glenn Gould School, Maestro Yu Long, Chief Conductor of the China Philharmonic, and Xu Zhong, Principal Director of Fondazione Arena di Verona. Rossina has also received mentorship from eminent pedagogues such as John Perry, Fu Ts'ong, Richard Goode, Eleanor Sokolov, Menahem Pressler and more.
 
Rossina was subsequently selected without dissent to attend the Glenn Gould School. She quickly forged her own trajectory, making history as the longest-standing recipient, the first biracial American, and the sole female winner of the Ihnatowycz Prize in Piano. This prestigious prize, once held by Canadian prodigy Jan Lisiecki, chaired by extraordinary legends Leon Fleisher and now Jeremy Denk, stands as the largest award of its kind and one of the most coveted honors in North America.
​
During her time at the Glenn Gould School, Rossina performed all 24 of Chopin’s Études, the Four Scherzi, and the full set of 24 Préludes—a formidable accomplishment that showcased definitive artistic autonomy, undoubtedly positioning her amongst the virtuosos of this generation. Over the course of her studies, she amassed a repertoire spanning nearly 60 hours of solo, chamber, and concerto works. Her discography now includes nine live recorded albums, each with over 1 million streams.
​
With nearly 1.7 million social media followers, Rossina delves beyond her status as a performer; she is also an avid style influencer, collaborating with renowned brands such as Jenny Packham, Steinway & Sons, Moda Operandi, and Net-a-Porter. Beyond the concert hall, she finds joy in regional Italian cooking, classic French cinema, mentoring young students, and cherishing daily life with her husband and their delightful Bernedoodle, Aria.
