No one even imagined what the new composition of VIAGRA would be like when the Konstantin Meladze show began to select new members for the team. There were many worthy contestants, the Russian land was rich in beautiful and talented girls. And yet, three of them turned out to be the strongest - the amazingly beautiful voices, femininity and magnetic charm did their job. Recently, a new composition of Viagra was presented to the people. It included three beautiful girls - Anastasia Kozhevnikova, Misha Romanova and Eric Herceg.
VIA Gra: was, is and will be
The well-known producer and composer Konstantin Meladze is a mentor of the group "VIA Gra" throughout the entire period of its existence, more than 13 years. During this time, the team has repeatedly changed. The changes that took place in the group concerned not only the fate of its members, but also reflected the technological, stylistic and sociological trends in the field of show business. After all, “VIA Gra” has always been on the stage as a female group No. 1. And it has become a “school of life” for many popular stars of our time. Graduates of this school are Vera Brezhneva, Svetlana Loboda, Alena Vinnitskaya, Albina Dzhanabaeva, Nadezhda Meyher-Granovskaya, Anna Sedokova and other famous singers, TV presenters and actresses.

Short biography of Kozhevnikova Anastasia
Nastya was born in the city of Yuzhnoukrainsk, Nikolaev region, in Ukraine. At the age of six, she took up vocals and began to sing in the Droplets children's choir. At the age of eight, Nastya went to a music school to learn to play the piano. In parallel with her studies in secondary and music schools, the girl managed to do choreography and study acting at the pop song theater called Galatea.
Her childhood dream of becoming an artist of the big stage led Nastya through life. She did not miss a single opportunity to show herself and her talent. The girl took part in various music competitions, including “The First Swallows”, “Running on the Waves”, “Young Galichina” and others. But she did not achieve much success at that time. The only thing the jury paid attention to was the indefatigable energy of a young girl.
When Anastasia turned sixteen, she participated in her first casting on the show "Superzіrka". But, unfortunately, the girl was again deprived of attention. Nastya did not give up and went to the casting of the X-Factor show, where she also did not go further than the first round. Desperate and leaving her dream of a big stage, Anastasia became a student at the Kiev National University of Technology and Design. When she found out about the start of the casting of the show “I Want to VIA Gru”, she decided to try her luck for the last time. And this time, luck smiled at her - she joined the new “Viagra”! The photos that you see in the article demonstrate the genuine joy of the girl! By the age of twenty, she managed to realize her first big dream, and this is a real victory!
Short biography of Erica Herceg
Erica was born in a village called Malaya Dobran, which is located near the border of Ukraine with Hungary, near Uzhgorod.
Mixed blood flows in the girl: her father is Hungarian, her mother is the daughter of a Ukrainian and Hungarian. Erica's parents got married when they were very young - dad was 22, mom - 18. When the girl was five years old, the family decided to have a second child. The birth was very difficult, which adversely affected the health of Erica's mother. Concerns about the well-being of the family and the upbringing of young children fell entirely on the shoulders of Nikolai, the father of the family. Erica went to a Hungarian school, where only two hours a week the Ukrainian language was studied. Every day, for this, she went 12 kilometers from the house and crossed the border. When the rules for crossing the borders of countries tightened, the girl had to change the school.
In high school, Erica studied at the Lyceum at the local church, sang in the church choir.
After receiving a certificate of secondary education, the girl went to the city of Beregovo in order to become a student of the Transcarpathian Hungarian Institute named after Ferenc Rakozzi II. During her studies, Erica worked as a waitress in a local cafe.
2008 was a year of change for the girl. She lost as much as 30 kilograms in order to try her hand at the modeling business. She starred in an ad for jewelry and underwear.
Work in a modeling agency in 2011 brought the girl to Kiev. There in 2012, she received her first major contract with a French lingerie company. In the same year, she was invited to star in one of the autumn issues of Playboy magazine. And in 2013, she already falls into the new composition of VIAGRA. At age 25, Erica achieves real success.
Short biography of Misha Romanova
The third soloist of the updated group was born in the Ukrainian city of Kherson. At birth, parents gave their daughter the name Natalya. Her real name is Mogilenets. Misha Romanova is a stage name that the girl came up with in memory of two men whom she once loved. The girl studied at a comprehensive school and often suffered from bullying by peers. It is hard to imagine, but in her childhood she stuttered a lot. It began after Misha became an involuntary witness to a quarrel between her parents when she was five years old. The girl recalls how hard it was for her, because she could not even buy gum for herself in the store, since the sellers did not understand her.
On the advice of doctors, the parents gave the girl vocals. Misha’s surprise and delight knew no bounds when she realized that she did not stutter when she sang. Since then, even in the classroom, when she was called to answer, she did not tell the learned material, but “chanted”.
In 2001, the girl became a member of the vocal studio of the Neftyanik recreation center, and soon took the place of a soloist, and later an assistant to the head of the studio.
The dream of becoming an artist gave her the strength to take part in all possible music competitions. She won prizes in "Little Zirks", "Carousel Melody", "Sweet Talent". Misha Romanova was educated at the Kiev Circus Variety School, where she entered in 2007. At 23, her dream came true - she became a real artist, soloist of the legendary group “VIAGRA”.

The group has already managed to record several new songs, make a video, worked on tour. The first joint work of the girls is the composition "Truce", which has already been shot by a talented director Alan Badoev.
