The biography of Roxana Babayan begins in Tashkent, where she was born in May 1946. Sang Roxanne since childhood and dreamed after school to make a singing career. However, her father was against it, and the girl became a student of the construction faculty of the Tashkent Railway Institute.
And yet, the biography of Roxanne Babayan did not become the biography of the engineer-architect - her vocal talent was already noted in the first courses, and after studying she ran to study and perform in the orchestra of Konstantin Orbelian. So, the career of a railwaywoman was forgotten, and already in 1973 Roksana moved to Moscow: she was invited to the then-famous VIA “Blue Guitars”. Working in this team, Roksana gains experience and improves her vocals, and already three years later, in 1976, she receives the first prize of the "Schlager Festival" competition, which was held in Dresden.
Roxana Babayan, whose biography was replenished with such facts as participation in the Bratislava Lira (1979) and Cuban pop festivals (1982-1983), begins to collaborate with a group of Melodia vocalists led by Boris Frumkin.
1977 - the singer’s debut in the "Song-77" competition and the beginning of solo performances. Her repertoire is “feminine” themes, pop music with elements of jazz. Artistry, beauty and a unique voice made Roxanne popular. Famous composers and poets begin to write songs for her: V. Matetskiy, L. Voropaeva, A. Levin, N. Levinovsky, V. Dobrynin, G. Garanyan, V. Dorokhin. The singer began to actively tour.
In 1983, the biography of Roxanne Babayan was noted by receiving an external diploma of higher education - Administrative and Economic (GITIS). In 1987, the singer was awarded the title of Honored Artist of the RSFSR.
Roksana Babayan's biography in her personal plan underwent changes in the 1980s - she met Mikhail Derzhavin. He invited her to the birthday of his friend, where the singer met all the friends of the famous actor: Eldar Ryazanov, Andrei
Mironov, Mark Zakharov and many others. As Roxanne later found out, these were a kind of “bridegroom”. Friends said: "We must take." Since then, they have been together - Mikhail Derzhavin and Roxana Babayan. Biography, children, success - now they all have two. It is difficult to imagine them without each other, they have been living together for more than 20 years. Derzhavin has a daughter, Masha, from a previous marriage; spouses do not have joint children.
The company "Melody" released 11 records of the singer, among them giant discs:
- "Sings Roxanne Babayan";
- "When I am with you";
- Roxane
- "Another woman".
In 1991, an animated clip (for the first time in our country) was directed by Roxanne’s song "East is a delicate matter", directed by Alexander Gorlenko. The year 1996 was marked by the release of the first Babayan CD entitled “The Enchantment Spell”.
Roxana Babayan, whose biography includes not only a singing career, has starred in such films as “My Sailor”, “New Odeon”, “The Groom from Miami”, “The Third Not Extra” and others. There was a singer and TV presenter - in the 1990s she hosted the program "Breakfast with Roksana".
In the late 1990s, the singer decided to quietly end her creative career without conducting farewell concerts. She again goes to study - now in the humanities and, having received a third diploma, defends her PhD on the topic of personality problems in her teenage years. Roxana also serves as chairman of the Animal Defense League.
