In the summer of 2003, on June 22, a girl was born, who today is known to the whole world - Alisa Kozhikina. Her life began in a small village in the Kursk region - the village of Uspenka. But soon the whole family moved to the regional center - the city of Kurchatov.

Craving for creativity

Love for music was instilled in her daughter by her mother. She played the piano, and little Alice, as if spellbound, listened to pleasant melodies. At the age of 4, the girl began to study vocals. Her first achievements were made as part of the Listen to the Heart team, led by the Lukyanovskys.

But Alisa Kozhikina was not limited to one vocal. She has been learning to play the piano since the age of six. Natalya Balashova, her teacher, notes that the girl wanted to succeed in everything. She diligently moved forward towards her goal, and by the time the second grade was over, she was coping with the program for the fifth or sixth. In the same year, she performed at a competition called "Teacher and Student", which was held in Kursk, where she performed compositions that were very difficult for her age. At such a young age, the girl took part in various competitions - city, regional,international scale. Her success is the result of long and hard work. Of course, a special “thank you” should also be said to Larisa Kireeva, her first vocal teacher.

The Voice show

On one of the warm summer days of 2013, the attention of a talented girl was attracted by an advertisement for the project “Voice. Children”, which started on Channel One. She immediately informed her parents about her desire to participate in it. However, they did not take the news with great enthusiasm. But the persistent Alisa Kozhikina convinced mom and dad that she really needed it. The application for participation in the project was sent on her birthday.

Probably no one, except Alice herself, believed that the girl would pass the qualifying round. After all, as it is now known, at that time she had been doing vocals herself for a whole year, without a teacher! He simply refused to teach the girl. Probably, participation in the "New Wave" showed that Alice had already reached the highest bar. However, the young talent itself did not think so. The girl continued to practice on her own.

Fortunately, the judges noticed the talent that Alisa Kozhikina has. Voice. Children”is a show that made the girl famous throughout the country. Under the guidance of Maxim Fadeev, whom she herself chose as her mentors, she reached the final and took first place, while significantly overtaking her competitors. Just think, Alice got 58.2% of the audience votes!

Eurovision

On November 15, 2014, the Junior Eurovision Song Contest took place in M alta. Alisa Kozhikina represented Russia. Music tothe song Dreamer, which she performed, was written by Maxim Fadeev, and the words were written by Alisa herself together with Olga Seryabkina.

Just on the eve of the competition, she was named the favorite. The audience vote put Alice in first place. However, even before that, her producer, Maxim Fadeev, noted that the girl would most likely not be allowed to rise so high, since even in the children's competition there would be a place for political overtones.

It has long been no secret how the Junior Eurovision ended for our heroine. Alisa Kozhikina took fifth place. Did she get upset? Not at all! She is ready for new challenges and believes that she has achieved a very good result.
