# Los Angeles singer records album with guitar-playing rescue horse 2026-08-06T20:41:55+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Los Angeles singer-songwriter Mikayla Khramov is preparing an album featuring sounds made by her rescue horse, Yupia. The horse uses his nose, lips and teeth to strum a guitar and pluck a harp, according to the Times of India. Khramov met Yupia while volunteering at a California horse rescue and encouraged his interest in instruments without force or treats. The project will combine the horse’s guitar and harp sounds with Khramov’s vocals, plus his whinnies, breathing and hoofbeats. Musicians from Portugal are helping produce the recordings, with an EP planned afterwards. Videos of Yupia’s sessions have drawn millions of views online. Khramov says the activity supported his rehabilitation and built trust, rather than turning him into a conventional performer. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: horses, Mikayla Khramov, Music, rescue animals, Yupia Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/los-angeles-singer-records-album-with-guitar-playing-rescue-horse/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
