Few, probably, today there are those who have not heard popular musical compositions performed by the modern Russian pop star, the Christmas Tree. The bright, unlike other singer won the love of fans and the respect of colleagues. Did she easily achieve this? What past helped her create the present?
The name of the Christmas tree can now be found in the first lines of the popular charts. Her compositions “Provence”, “On a big balloon”, “Near you”, “I want to fall in love” are sung by fans all over her native country and far beyond its borders.
Childhood Christmas Tree
The singer was born in the very beautiful Ukrainian city of Uzhgorod. From the first days of her life, the girl’s parents were confident in her great future and called her “little star”. The music was joined by the father, who was a fan of jazz music and Russian rock.
Talent development
In her youth, the girl sang in a school choir, and later attended a vocal club. She was even a member of the KVN team of the city of Uzhgorod under the interesting name “Ward number 6”. As a teenager, Elka became interested in rap music, and in the mid-90s she became the backing vocalist of the B & B group. At the music festival of rap artists in 2001, the potential of the shocking girl was noticed by producer Vlad Valov, but offered to sign a contract only after 3 years. At that time, the group as such did not exist anymore, and Elka actually abandoned her childhood dream of becoming a singer - she worked as a waitress.
Future Star Education
The Christmas tree graduated from the secondary school of Uzhgorod, but never received a higher education. She entered the music school, but she failed to finish it. According to Elka, she did not have a relationship with the teachers of the educational institution, so she decided to leave the school before she was expelled. However, this fact from her past did not prevent her from creating a bright present.
The name of the Christmas tree at the dawn of her popularity raised many questions among her fans. Of course, everyone understood that it was a pseudonym. Many were interested in what is the real name of the Christmas tree? And why did she choose such a strange name for her stage image?
Singer Christmas tree: real name
Interestingly, she did not specifically choose a pseudonym. This happened even when she was eleven years old. So a friend accidentally called her. And the nickname “stuck” to the girl so much that even her parents began to call her affectionately Fir-tree. Many have forgotten that the real name of Elka is Elizaveta Ivantsiv, even she herself long ago ceased to react to him, and only the father sometimes was offended by friends and acquaintances of his daughter for this.
I must say that such a stylish stage name played an important role in the career of the singer. The real name of the Christmas tree would hardly allow her to achieve such popularity. The bright and laconic pseudonym, combined with the energy and originality of its owner, was immediately remembered by the audience, forced to pay close attention to her, and then fall in love for a long time.
Personal life of the singer
She never talks about what is happening with the Christmas tree behind the scenes. For her, this is a matter of principle. The singer believes that personal life is something that should always remain unattainable for curious journalists. According to her, this is the only way to maintain personal happiness. It should be noted that the Christmas tree does not suffer from "star disease", she remained the same simple person, despite the fact that she is on the crest of fame. Including for this, probably, her fans love her so much.
