—They say that you were not going to become a singer, did you graduate with Rudn with a red diploma?
- I was probably so brought up: you first need to get a more landed profession, and then engage in creativity. It is now thanks to the Internet you can quickly gain financial independence, but then to feel stability, it was necessary practical and easily applicable education. I can not say that the philological direction is most practical from possible, then after the second course I planned to translate to the faculty of journalism - this was for me the most acceptable and relevant at the time.
—Why did not go to work by profession?
- Music in my life was present since childhood. I graduated from a music school in the class of violin. Participated in all school and university events vocalist. As soon as the chance was introduced to try his strength on a big stage, I passed the exams ahead of schedule and flew to the casting of the "Star Factory" brothers Meladze.
—You lived in America for some time. What was the associated departure, what did you do there? Musically what has learned for yourself during your stay in the USA?
- I finished work in the Yin-Yang group and left for New York to prepare for admission to the Theater Institute and Cinema Lee Strasberg at the acting faculty. To do this, it was necessary to raise the level of the English language, but unfortunately it happened that I had to leave America, without even submitting documents to the university. Nevertheless, I took a clip in the US, recorded several songs, took lessons from the teacher of the academic vocal, the opera singer Mikhail Kalinovsky and the teacher, the SoundProd Dana Dana Dana, with which Seline Dion was engaged in one time. I feel that it was an excellent experience. After all, I got new important knowledge and realized that the recording of the song in America is not a guarantee of high quality, fantastic result or insane success, so it makes no sense to think that moving to the United States will provide a quick and dizzy take off in a quarry.
"Our life changes any step"
—And why, by the way, went from the "Yin-Yang" team in free swimming?
- We began to rarely publish the songs, hardly more than once a year, we struggled to find a common language with each other, and was unbearable to be in constant waiting for a happy future. And I decided on leaving the team.
—How did America change your life?
- Our life changes any step. America left good impressions - I got acquainted with interesting people, with some of which I still communicate. Move to New York for a while and live there then was nice - I remember this with warmth. It is good that many negative events are erased from memory over time. Sometimes I miss the familiar left in the US, and I finally finally fly to visit.

But, after analyzing his life, I realized that in my future since childhood there was a lot - I was engaged in my ballet, violin, vocals, studied at an art school, which brought up taste in me, went to Thai boxing, which developed discipline, He graduated from school with a silver medal, learning hardworking, engaged in vocals and played on the courts. Therefore, participation in the "Star Factory" became a logical step, it remained only to gain courage and come to casting. Already at that moment, let this not aware, I was very well prepared for the start of a big creative career.
—What participation in your creative life was Konstantin and Valery Meladze played?
- Perhaps, it began again since childhood. Dadded me the songs The Beatles, Mom included classical music, and with her - Valery Meladze songs. So she drew my attention to his work - he performed very kind, wise, melodic compositions. Meladze is an amazing professional who sings with feeling and heart. Before that, to be honest, I have not seen myself on one "factory of stars", but when I saw the announcement of the project under the leadership of the Meladze brothers, I realized that you need to go.
"More than ten years have passed, but it is still difficult to believe that all this happened to me. Over the years I accepted this experience and realized that I can't change the past. "
—What moment of your life was the most murderous - "How to remember, so the flock"?
- Not "murderous", thank God, I stayed alive, but the traumatic moments of domestic violence in relations with a former young man. More than ten years have passed, but it is still difficult to believe that all this happened to me. Over the years I accepted this experience and realized that I could not change the past, but I can support people who face similar problems, showing on their example that it is possible to exit traumatic relationships. Nevertheless, it is better, of course, not to know on the personal experience of violence in any form.
—After returning from America, you decided to try to act in the movies. Why? Did you understand something there?
"I can't remember exactly when I decided to start starring to the movies." For me, the acting sphere has always been nearby - I went hand in hand with her from school and institute. And, I think, from the first clips I realized that everything was associated with the movie. Therefore, I decided to go to study in America, but as I said, nothing happened there, and I entered the school of drama Herman Sidakov in Moscow.
—How did you manage to get a major role in the melodraman of the "Love", and then in the painting "Bartender", where did you work with Stanovy, Okhlobystin, Gogunsky?
- I was invited to the casting, and I, having passed it with everyone, went out and forgot about him, as I often do. But I was chosen, and already ending the school of drama, I began to star in the "secrets of four princesses." Soon I was called on the casting of "POLUMATION FOR LOVE" - a charming picture, in which the director gave me card-blanche: I could work on the role and build it myself, some freedom felt. It was a buzz. And I received the role in the film "Barman" immediately after the end of the project "one in one" - I was noticed on the TV show and offered to take part in the shooting.

—What sensations from working with actors colleagues?
- Work with such brilliant actors, for example, as standing and Okhlobystin, is happiness and excellent experience.
—And who do you like more yourself?
- It is difficult to appreciate and make a hierarchy. First, love is always different. I just learn to love myself, take, respect, understand, regret, find time, strength. Previously, no matter how much I tried to live on a personal agenda, it did not always succeed. Even now often it is impossible to do what I want. And I understand that on the way to the total love of myself I stand while at the very beginning.
—What is today for you in the first place: music, movies, television? Or something else?
- It's all interconnected. Of course, first of all my thoughts are aimed at correctly present the music that I did this year and which was pleased. Now I want songs to find your listener, because in an infinite stream of content, unfortunately, you can get lost. I adore movies, respect television, but, nevertheless, not all. I have a TV, I look at him and get acquainted with what is presented on the channels. I am glad that the programs are becoming more interesting and, even slowly, but develop.
—The new track "Listen" you recorded almost in front of Quarantine. How did the time worked at that difficult time: recording, mixing, overlaying and so on?
- The song "Listen" We really recorded at the last moment in front of Quarantine, and I am very glad. I can not say that she was easily given me, but it was worth it - passing through the creative difficulties and obstacles, you feel like you let go. And on self-insulation we had to reduce one of the new songs. The team and I sent her to each other for each editing, and once twenty-day ran into the car to keep the sound, in the home audio system and in the headphones there is completely different acoustics. It was a very interesting experience!
—When was the last time you cried?
- Today. But I, fortunately, managed to stop this process, and this did not resume long-term torment. Recently, tears, alas, quite frequent phenomenon. But let's not talk about it.
—What was the last time you lie?
- The fact that I feel good and fun, and in fact no.
—Do you like jokes?
- Jokes - a constant satellite of our meetings with friends, correspondence and telephone conversations. It seems to me that humor is one of their most important aspects of class communication.
—And when you joke on you?
- I am joking myself. And I love when I need to joke me, but without anger. If I feel unfit understone, I immediately stop it. I do not like when a person is trying to recoup for his uncertainty and discontent with the life of people near. I am a very sensitive person and immediately understand it.
