George Komsky

George Komsky (born September 9, 1985) is a Ukrainian-born American tenor. He is best known for his live performances as a solo vocalist, touring internationally with Chris Botti, in the North American tour of the Irish theatrical show Riverdance, and at non-profit concert events.

Komsky's performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the San Francisco 49ers NFL game against the New England Patriots was part of a tribute honoring the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting, broadcast live to 18 million viewers.

Komsky was awarded the Best Operatic Pop Artist Award by Russian American Media in 2014. The award was presented by Rob Tannenbaum, executive director of the Sacramento Philharmonic Orchestra.

Komsky appeared on the first season of America's Got Talent under the name "George Kelly".

Komsky was born in Kiev in 1985. His family fled the Soviet Union in 1988 and settled in the Bay Area, Northern California. Komsky showed an interest in music at an early age, learning piano and saxophone at age eight. He took formal singing classes during his teenage years.

Komsky lived in Danville, California, and went to Monte Vista High School where he joined the chamber choir. In 2001, as part of the school's choir, Komsky performed Verdi's Messa da Requiem at the Basilica of Saint Paul in Rome. He won a scholarship to UCLA, graduating with a degree in political science.

He trained with Seth Riggs, vocal coach of artists including Barbra Streisand, Natalie Cole and Michael Jackson.

In 2004, Komsky toured as lead soloist with the North American touring company of the Irish theatrical show Riverdance.
