Member of the show "Songs", Pedagogue on pop-jazz vocals, Singer Lena Semenova combines rich touring activities with mom's concerns: last year she gave birth to a son in which the soul does not.
"Lena, it's no secret that last year you have become a mother." How do you feel in the new role?
- I am limitless happy. My son is already a year old, and this year, despite all the difficulties and nuances of motherhood, was the happiest in my life. I could not get pregnant for a very long time and so I now try to spend as much time with a child as much time.
- Probably, it is not easy to combine touring and care for a child? Do you have a nanny that helps you?
- I am categorically opposed to leave your baby on someone else's, even a very professional person. The child is still too small. Son has two grandparents and loved grandfather - they live in another city, but very often come to visit. I raise every minute spent in my boy's company. Therefore, the Lion is a real backstage child. From one and a half months he goes with me to all concerts, shooting and events. We even have a car seat carriage for these purposes. (Smiles.) From touring while you have to give up, but it's more often to go on vacation.
During the show "Songs", Lena met with the leader of the group of Ther Maitz Anton Belyaev, to which he had long been with a big sympathy
- And where did you have time to visit the baby?
- Lev spent his first vacation in Maldives, and three months later we visited Turkey. During flights, the boy slept. Adaptation to another climate went without excesses, and the salt driver was very loved by the baby. My husband and I love to travel really, have already traveled polim. I think the son will go through our footsteps. (Smiles.)
- Lena, it became known to us that your participation in the TV project "Songs" happened almost immediately after the birth of a lion. It was easy, probably you were? ..
- Indeed, on the casting of the project, I came across nineteen days after childbirth. At the time of filming, the son was two months. The most difficult for me in all this adventure was to find yourself the former, confident and strong spirit of the singer. I as a teacher on vocal knew that during pregnancy and after childbirth because of hormonal changes in the body, the voice changes. And it was on the "songs" it was possible to see this on a personal example. Maxim Fadeev, Timati and Pavel Volya did not miss me in reality: my insecurity and excitement let me down. I got a huge experience and know one thing: everything that is done, for the better. I was not ready to be separated from my son for a minute. After participating in the project again launched vocal classes and today declare with confidence: I'm in good shape.
The singer and her spouse love to travel and hoped that the son will divide their passion. At your young age, Lion has already visited Maldives and Turkey
- Well, in your vocal studio you continue to teach?
- It so happened that my maternity leave coincided with the end of the school year. My most loyal students received certificates about the end of the Studio "Vocaland", and the rest of the guys, having received recommendations from me, went to the world of music and vocal without me. I suspended the work of the studio for a while, as today my most important student is a son.
- It is no secret that children inspire. After you have become my mother, did you have new creative ideas?
- Indeed, after half a year since the birth of Lev Konstantinovich, I very much wanted to release a new song that would characterize my mental state of comprehensive love. My friend, colleague and author of most of my songs Ilya Gurov offered me a choice of several texts. One of them became an excellent song under the working name "When a woman loves." This happened with Music support El Litvinovich. By the way, at the studio during the recording of the track, together with the authors, my favorite son was also present - he is my inspiration and a source of positive emotions. More recently, I experienced happiness to sing for seven thousand spectators in Crocus City Hall at one serious event.
In general, I have a lot of creative plans. In the near future, I plan a solo concert on my historic homeland - in the beloved city of Yaroslavl. Well, of course, there will be a record of new songs, one of which will definitely devote the Son.
