Singer Mara is one of the brightest representatives of the Russian rock scene. A unique manner of performance, piercing deep melodies, texts on relevant topics and about love - all this can not leave anyone indifferent. How many albums have the singer released to date, and why doesn't she like to talk a lot about her personal life?
First musical steps
Singer Mara today signs as Mara Vladimirovna Kana, but she was born under the name Marina Vladimirovna Nesterova. The future star was born on November 25, 1978 in Ivanteevka near Moscow. According to close relatives, the girl began to hum almost immediately as she spoke. At the age of ten, Marina persistently asked to go to a music school, where she studied in the guitar class. In 1989, singer Mara wrote her first song, which she performed for a teacher along with a classmate.
Music: hobby or life?
Musical lessons were a pleasant hobby for Marina. For some time she performed as part of a youth jazz ensemble, tried to participate solo in talent contests. At that time, the girl did not even think that this harmless hobby would become the main activity in her life.
Marina studied at Moscow University of Consumer Cooperation with a degree in Finance and Credit. Banking ”and already seriously planned to work in the specialty after receiving a diploma. However, quite by accident, the recording of the singer’s performance was heard by Dmitry Groysman, producer of the Chayf group and co-producer of the Invasion festival.
Predicted success
Singer Mara Groysman charmed from the first notes. The producer organized a recording for her in St. Petersburg with the participation of the famous group Tequilajazzz, however, the first song was completely different from the hit. It was not possible to work quickly and actively, since Marina was still a student. And after graduation, the recording of the first album began. The country learned about the new singer in 2003 thanks to the song “Airplanes”, played on the air of “Our Radio” and for a long time hanging in the charts “Chart Dozen”. Very soon, the story repeated with the song "Dolphins". In the same year, the singer performs at the festival "Invasion", and then releases her first album "Frankness".
Discography and creativity
The cooperation of Mary and Groisman lasted about 5 years. The second album of the singer was released in 2005 and received the name 220V. All this time, the songs got into rotation on the radio, videos were shot and concerts were held. In 2008, the album Unplugged was released. After breaking the contract with the producer, the singer’s creative activity subsides. However, according to many sources, Groysman himself was also dissatisfied with the termination of cooperation, who did a lot to promote talent and acquire Marina star status.

In 2012, the singer released a new album - “Two Worlds”. Everything in it is slightly different than in the singer’s earlier works - a slightly different style of music, a new style of lyrics. However, even such a novelty was enthusiastically greeted by fans. Today, Mara is a singer, whose photo is still often seen in print. She realizes herself in creativity, let the new songs slowly, but record, the star collaborates and as a co-author of songs with some popular artists.
Personal life: rumors and speculation
Often this star is put on a par with Zemfira and the group “Night Snipers”. Representatives of sexual minorities sympathize with Mare and very often enlist in their ranks. However, the star herself openly says only that she does not accept any manifestations of homophobia, and carefully avoids talking about the personal. Meanwhile, the yellow press ascribes to her either a quick wedding with a man, or a new affair with a girl. And yet, Mara is a singer whose personal life is shrouded in mystery. So where did all these contradictory-strange conjectures come from? “Sexless” texts about love make you think. In her lyric songs, the singer usually refers to the partner in the second person, respectively, it is impossible to accurately identify his gender. In addition, in many interviews on questions about writing compositions about love, the star talks about what inspired her to this or that song “a person with whom we are close friends”. But even this wording can hide both a man and a woman.
On the other hand, Mara is not shy about participating in candid photo shoots for men's magazines. And this is a strange act for a representative of a sexual minority. However, who cares who the creative person loves? Mara is a unique and very talented singer, and with whom to live is her own business.
Personal life and interests of the star
In her free time, Marina, like any normal person, likes to relax. Mara - the singer is quite popular, and therefore, she now manages to take a long vacation not so often. But as soon as the opportunity arises, the star goes on a trip or tries to set aside time for active sports. The singer loves cycling, rollerblading and paragliding. In addition, she tries to spend as much time as possible with family and close friends.
Singer Mara, whose biography includes many love scandals, real or invented by journalists, does not hide the fact that today her heart is free. However, in her opinion, the absence of passions gives great freedom for creativity and self-realization.
