Born in Moscow, Russia in 1983, Shebanova showed an early aptitude for music and began studying piano at the age of five. She quickly demonstrated a natural talent for the instrument, and her parents enrolled her in the prestigious Central Music School in Moscow, where she received rigorous training in both piano performance and music theory. As a young musician, Shebanova was deeply influenced by the great Russian pianists of the past, including Sergei Rachmaninoff and Vladimir Horowitz.

She has also been the recipient of numerous other awards and honors, including the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition and the International Tchaikovsky Competition. One of the highlights of Shebanova's career was her performance of Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 with the London Symphony Orchestra in 2010. The performance was widely praised for its emotional depth and technical brilliance, and cemented Shebanova's reputation as one of the world's leading interpreters of Rachmaninoff's music.
