In Russia, it is generally accepted that only men are engaged in heavy music. But there are women who can give odds to any male rocker. Among them is the one and only Olga Kormukhina. How did her creative path begin? What has she achieved in life? And what is happening in her fate now? All this can be found by reading our article and looking at the photo of Olga Kormukhina.

Love for music

Kormukhina Olga was born in the first month of summer in 1960. Her family was not directly related to music, her father, Boris, was the chief engineer, and her mother, Faina, worked in an architectural museum. However, music was always present in their house. The head of the family had an unusually beautiful tenor, but he sang only in the circle of his family and close people, and Olga's brother, Andrey, accompanied his father's songs by playing the piano. Years later, the whole country will recognize him as a talented composer.

Children grew up in a creative atmosphere, and parents instilled in them a love of classical music. But despite this, Olga was closerrock. Although the girl was determined to become a famous singer, after graduating from school she entered the architect, but after studying a little, she realized that she had chosen the wrong path. Her father supported her in her decision to leave the university and find herself in creativity.

Restaurant period

The creative biography of Olga Kormukhina began in 1980, after she won the Grand Prix "Best Solo Vocal" at the jazz-rock festival "Nizhny Novgorod Spring". After that, multiple proposals for cooperation rained down on the young talent, but the girl chose her own path - she began to sing in restaurants. For three years of work in institutions, she has accumulated not only diverse song capital, but also money, because she firmly decided to conquer Moscow. When she worked in restaurants, she was repeatedly offered cooperation, but she refused. The girl was waiting for such an offer that she could not refuse, and she waited.

Kormukhina conquered the famous composer and jazzman Oleg Lundstrem with her vocals. He invited her to move to Moscow and be a soloist in his team. Kormukhina Olga agreed immediately, and this is how her dream of living in the capital came true.

Creative way in Moscow

Olga did not work for the great jazzman for long, it was a kind of launching pad for starting her creative path in the capital. Soon she became a member of the Anatoly Kroll group, and a little later she fulfilled her dream and entered the Gnesinka. Studying on the thirdcourse, Olga went to the competition in Jurmala and brought a special prize from the jury from there, and also met the poetess Pushkina Margarita. Subsequently, they became close friends and recorded more than one joint song.

In 1989, Olga realized that she no longer wanted to perform in groups, and began a solo career. Only now Olga Kormukhina's songs have a pop character. Since the beginning of the solo voyage, the singer has toured a lot, participated in numerous competitions and won more than one victory, released a solo album in 1992 and even played in a movie. Her career was at the peak of popularity, but, as you know, a person cannot always be on the rise. She began to feel depressed due to the fact that her personal life was not arranged, and she wanted a family and children.

Gift of God

In search of an answer to questions, Olga turned to God and religion. In 1997, she went to Zalit Island, where she met her future husband, the founder and musician of the Gorky Park group, Alexei Belov. They have been together for over 20 years, she is the happiest mother and beloved wife. Children in the biography of Olga Kormukhina occupy a special place, she always dreamed of having a big family, but it so happened that she and Alexei have one daughter, Anatolia. Therefore, Olga helps her brother Andrei, who has eight children, and also provides assistance to children left without parents.

After a long break, the talented singer and composer returned to the stage. This happened at the beginning of the 21st century. She isshe again began to record songs and discovered another talent in herself - a director, and even made three films, simultaneously entering VGIK. And her album "I'm Falling into the Sky" was released only six years after the presentation of the song of the same name at the "Star Factory-6". Since 2012, she has regularly participated in the rock festival "Invasion", and is also the organizer of the festival of good deeds. Currently, she is a soloist at the Moscow Philharmonic, and in October 2016 she was given the title of Honored Artist of the Russian Federation, this award was personally presented to her by Russian President Putin Vladimir Vladimirovich.
