A police spokeswoman told AFP that the police officer who shot the video, met the woman by chance. As soon as the video went viral online, the local media identified the woman as 52-year-old, Emily Zamourka and said that she is a trained violinist and pianist, who emigrated to the US from Russia, when she was 24.
But, KABC - a radio station - said that Zamourka has no formal training as an opera singer and had been a teacher before she fell on hard times because of health issues.
"I am sleeping actually on the cardboard right now, in the parking lot," she told KABC. "I am sleeping where I can sleep ... I have people that feel sorry for me, but I don't want to be a burden to anybody."
She also added that she would be grateful for help to get off the streets and to have a house and some musical instruments.
"You know why I (sing) in the subway?," she said. "Because it sounds so great."
Several twitter users has told her not to waste her talent like that. Check out some of the comments:

idk if this lady is homeless but it sounds like she has had extensive vocal training of a professional caliber. It does not make sense she would be homeless unless she is severely mentally ill or something to that effect.

I¡¯ve seen her for years on the Metro. I heard her once singing ¡°Ave Maria¡± and thought it was a radio at first. Everyone has a story...this woman does too. I don¡¯t know why she¡¯s been homeless all these years, but she¡¯s a human being...that¡¯s all that matters
