I remember that I learned to sing, write and read at home."[8] The artist moved to Soroca when she started studying at the "Constantin Stere" Theoretical High School until 2010; she later graduated from the Academy of Music, Theater and Plastic Arts in Chișinău.[9] In 2012, Irina Rimes participated in the talent show Fabrica de staruri, where she was a finalist.[3]
