Perhaps, for everyone who followed the development of events on the Ukrainian show "X-Factor", Aida Nikolaychuk became an idol. This incredibly beautiful and talented girl managed to conquer thousands of hearts of the audience already at the casting, singing Polina Gagarina’s song “Lullaby” so that the judges even doubted that the voice was lively. What did she have to go through to achieve her goal? How did Aida Nikolaychuk live before the show? The biography described in this article will provide answers to the questions posed.
The beginning of the way
The future Ukrainian star was born on March 3, 1983 in the city of Odessa. From early childhood, the girl was engaged in vocals with her grandmother. In the first grade she sang in a school choir, and soon became his soloist. Unfortunately, the choir’s activities were periodic, the children performed from time to time, so Aida could not develop as a singer the way she wanted to. Several times she tried to find a vocal teacher, but to no avail.
Desperate to follow the path of the artist, Aida Nikolaychuk entered the school as a fashion designer-fashion designer. However, the dream of becoming a singer was on her heels, and, as you know, thoughts give rise to opportunities and entail action. Aida meets with representatives of hip-hop culture and plunges into music with her head - she becomes the backing vocalist of the group. A few years later she leaves the group and, again departing from fate, goes to make-up artist courses. When Aida found out about the castings of the vocal show, she decided that this would be her last attempt to become a singer.
First attempt but not last
Even in the first season of the show, a talented girl from Odessa tried to make her childhood dream a reality, but at some point something went wrong, she did not go on the air, the judges told her no. When the audience was presented with the television release of the qualifying round, in which Aida Nikolaychuk took part, they began to demand the girl’s return to the project. Aida herself did not give up, and took part in the Internet project "X-factor online." Millions of views and voting by the audience made her the winner and allowed her to go to the training camp of the third season of the show without castings.
X Factor: A Show That Changes Life
Of all the participants in the third season of the X-Factor show, Aida Nikolaychuk went the longest way. After all, she first appeared on the stage of the project in its first release. Through defeats and trials, Hades reached the final. It remained just a little before victory, but the finalist herself preferred not to think about the results of the vote. A girl who had stumbled more than once was afraid to do it again. She did not believe the words of one of the participants who had left earlier, Dmitry Sysoev, who claimed that Hades would win, because he had seen it in a dream! It turns out that Dmitry dreamed not only who would remain in the four finalists, and even the voting results. The dream was prophetic! Found a new star Ukraine!

Future plans and personal life
