Those who listen to domestic performers of the alternative direction cannot fail to know such a wonderful folk-rock singer as Pelageya. Her biography is not distinguished by special ups and downs, but at the same time, pure deep vocals and beautiful, soulful songs cannot but touch. Indeed, this voice can rightly be called the property of the Russian land! But this is a digression. Let's move on to the facts, namely, to the biography of the singer.

Pelageya - comes from childhood

A beautiful voice and a desire to sing is probably a family trait that is passed down through the female line. Why do we say so? Everything is simple. Pelagia's mother, Svetlana Khanova, also performed with her group at one time, performing jazz songs. The breakdown of her voice put an end to this, because of which she had to become a theater director. Later, the mother of our favorite performer will become the producer and director of the group that her daughter will gather. A girl was born, who at first was recorded under the name Polina, in Novosibirsk. Called parentsgirl Pelageya, and in the end the mistake was corrected already in the singer's passport. This name was given to her by her great-grandmother.

Already at the age of four, Pelageya first appeared on the stage, and at the age of eight she entered the Novosibirsk Special Music College (school), where she became the first vocalist-participant in the twenty-five years of the history of the educational institution. At the age of nine, the singer met Dmitry Revyakin from the Kalinov Most group, who sent her cassette to Morning Star in Moscow. True, then the folklore block was not yet present in the program, and therefore Yuri Nikolaev recommended that the girl simply participate in the competition, where she eventually became the winner, receiving a prize of a thousand dollars.

Incoming popularity

At about the same time, the song "Lubo, brothers, lyubo", which was recorded in Novosibirsk, became a hit with the fighters of the Novosibirsk OMON, who participated in the counter-terrorist operation in Chechnya. How this record got to them is still not known. But since then, the long-awaited popularity has come to Pelageya.

After that, at the age of ten, she signed a contract with a recording company for songs of famous artists at that time, and moved to Moscow. There she studied first at a music school, and then at a school with an in-depth study of choreography and music. So she becomes a scholarship holder of the Young Talents of Siberia Foundation and a participant in the UN program New Names of the Planet. As a result, the countries of the world learned the name Pelageya.

Biography of the alternative

This artist often participatedin official events, such as speeches at the summit of the three heads of state. But alternative projects are especially valuable for fans of domestic rock. These include "Learn to Swim", a tribute to Depeche Mode, magnificent duets with Butusov, Sukachev, Sklyar, Inna Zhelanna, Mikhail Gorshenev.

These songs are heard by many, and they have no statute of limitations. Driven and at the same time pure, they won their place of honor in the hearts of our musical gourmets. However, her biography does not end there.

Singer Pelageya. Performance biography

In 1997, she became the youngest member of the KVN team from Novosibirsk State University. Her record was later broken. In 1999, Mstislav Rostropovich invited her to the festival in Evian, where Evgeny Kissin, Shankar Ravi, Burchuladze Paat, BB King, Vishnevskaya Galina also performed. The latter, according to Pelageya herself, made an indelible impression on her. In 2004, she starred in an episodic role in the TV series Yesenin. In 2009, Pelageya, together with Daria Moroz, participated in the 3rd season of Two Stars. And then this duet sang with Garik Sukachev, winning the "Property of the Republic" vote. In the same year, Pelageya, whose biography, as you can see, is continuous work and not a drop of rest, became the winner of the Soloist nomination in the Chart Dozen. There will be enough victories for life, but not only the singer, but also the group is called "Pelageya".

Pelageya. Band biography

The team was formed in 2000 and was named after the singer. Then the girl was fourteen years old. She graduated from school as an external student and entered the RATI, graduating in 2005 with a red diploma. But this is also a digression.

Speaking of Pelageya, many people mean her name as a performer, but in fact the group contains five more people, except for the performer herself. Their merit in the popularity of the team is no less than that of the voice of our heritage in Russia. Arrangements, excellent music and voluminous vocals - these are the main features of musicians who obviously do not fade in the shadow of the famous Pelageya, but only develop.

Personal life of the singer

Oddly enough, between tours, this beautiful girl, not only with her voice, but also with her face, has time for her personal life. Often fans are looking for answers to the question: "Pelageya - biography, husband, children"? Let's dot all the "i". At the moment, the singer is not married, although she was married for two whole years with Dmitry Efimovich. They didn’t have children, but Pelageya’s plans clearly include becoming a wonderful mother and wife, which she herself repeatedly spoke about in an interview.
