Biography

Alla Yurievna Perfilova (real name Valeria) was born in 1968 in a family of cultural workers in Atkarsk. Perhaps this is what influenced her hobbies. She started playing the piano and made good progress. Alla also graduated from secondary school with excellent marks.

After graduation, she was offered a job as part of the Impulse ensemble at the Saratov Philharmonic, and this is what influenced the further choice of a higher educational institution. The team toured with the leader Leonid Yaroshevsky around the cities and towns of the region. Later, Alla takes part in "Jurmala-87", which became a serious test for her, since the jazz composition did not bring success, but, on the contrary, went unnoticed by the jury and the public.

The young singer continued to study at the Gnessin Music Academy, where she studied with Joseph Kobzon himself! And in her free time, a talented girl earned her living by singing in clubs and restaurants. It was thanks to her strong character, organization and determination that she did an excellent job with her studies, and the teachers were pleased with her success.

Career start

In 1988, the audience heard and saw the rising star for the first time with the song "Be with me". Soon she took the pseudonym Valeria. In 1991, the singer won the "Morning Star" contest, and a year later she received the audience award at "Jurmala-92".

In 1992, with the participation and support of foreign performers, the English-language album The Taiga Symphony was released, and the album "Stay with me", which collected Russian romances. In 1995, the composition "My Moscow" was released, which quickly found its audience. And the second composition "Airplane" from the album received an award at the "Song of the Year" festival.

Thanks to the support of her second husband, Alexander Shulgin, the artist's popularity is growing, she goes on tour, her songs are listened to, loved and recognized. In 2001, Valeria announced her retirement from the stage for family reasons, and left for her homeland with her children.

Triumphant return to stage

However, two years later, Valeria nevertheless returned to the stage under the strict guidance of Joseph Prigogine. And in October of this year, the album "Country of Love" was released, rapidly gaining popularity. A year later, the singer received the Muz-TV award in the Best Performer nomination.

In 2014, the singer was awarded the title of People's Artist of Russia. This is well deserved, because Valeria's discography is truly rich.

Personal life of the singer

For the first time, the singer married the head of the Saratov ensemble "Impulse", which prompted her on the path of musical education and thanks to which she chose Gnesinka.

After meeting in 1992 at one of his performances in a restaurant with producer Alexander Shulgin, the relationship between the girl and Yaroshevsky did not change for the betterside. The meeting was truly fateful. In 1993, Valeria became engaged to her producer, during their marriage they had a daughter, Anna, and two sons, Artemy and Arseniy. Tyranny in the family and assault cracked the relationship, and at one point she decided to leave.

Despite the fact that after the story with Alexander, Valeria vowed to start a relationship at work, love was stronger. In 2004, the singer married Joseph Prigogine for the third time, and became truly happy. Now they willingly give interviews and talk about their large family. The couple has six children, but, unfortunately, there are no common ones. Musically, the creative union never ceases to delight us with new hits, and Valeria's discography is constantly growing.

Based on the singer's autobiographical book "And life, and tears, and love …" a film was made, where the main role was played by Anastasia Savosina. This is a true story about the other side of show business, which few of us understand, and about the difficult fate of a strong woman.
