Ariana is a singer popular among young people and not only. The performer of rhythm and blues, a direction of music not quite developed in our country, came to conquer Russia from the United States.

USA-Russia

The future singer was born in a town called Houston, which is located in Texas. This significant event took place on August 16, 1985. From a young age, Ariana began to get involved in music. This was facilitated by the parents, who helped their beloved daughter with all their might. So they enrolled her in piano lessons.

When Ariana was seven years old, her parents moved to Moscow. There, the girl studied music, attending courses to one of the best teachers of the Gnessin School. Five years later, the parents, together with their daughter, returned to their native country, but by the will of fate, two years later, they again came to Russia.

The way up

At the age of twelve, the girl began to study vocals, and also enrolled in a choreographic circle. Some time later, her father, Gregory Greenblat, introduces his daughter to the Russian producer Matvey Anichkin. The girl, under the guidance of Anichkin, creates her first record. Since then, they have been working together. At first, the photo of the singer Ariana, of course, was not in demand in the press, but this was only the beginning.

Some believe that this stage of the girl's life was a turning point in her musical career. While collaborating with Matvey Anichkin, Ariana releases her first video for the song The Fire Was Dead. This work gets on the popular MTV channel, where the girl is immediately noticed. The well-known record company Sony Music offers to conclude a contract, to which Ariana agrees. The singer continues to work quite actively, recording songs one after another. So, at the end of 2000, her single dedicated to the holiday, Narru New Year, was released. But Ariana's most significant work of that time was the song "Under the Spanish Sky". It was this single that brought the singer popularity and numerous fans. This ballad led the American-Russian singer to success at events such as the Golden Gramophone and Song of the Year. The authorship of this song belongs to Anichkin and Ariana herself, but Matvey wrote the music for it.

Albums

The first full-length album was "First Love", which was released by the young Ariana. The singer included 18 of her songs in this collection, which were created with the help of the same Anichkin. The premiere of this album took place in 2002 in the city of Kyiv, and a little later a video was shot for one of his songs. Thanks to this album, Ariana becomes even more popular, wins audience sympathy and appears as a nominee for the MTV Europe Music Awards event as the best Russian singer.

The second album released by the singer in Russia is "Without Compromise", which contained twelve songs in Russian. The author and composer of all works was also Matvey Anichkin.

Between these two albums, Ariana, the already famous singer, recorded an English-language record in Los Angeles, and also worked on a romance project called "I'll Never Forget You" in collaboration with A. Marshall. During her creative activity, Ariana managed to graduate from the American-Russian school, to be trained by the well-known teacher in the USA, Seth Riggs.

Present

Now Ariana has retired from her creative work. She has her own restaurant business, which she opened in New York. The focus of its restaurants is Russian cuisine. Ariana's family life is also developing quite successfully. She married a well-known businessman in Russia, whom many know as the vocalist of the Tet-A-Tet musical group. The husband of singer Ariana is Lev Grachev-Shneur.
