A bright blonde with curvaceous shapes became famous thanks to her participation in the "Star Factory". The songs of Elena Kukarskaya were sung by the whole country, and the rest of the contestants envied her popularity. No one doubted that after the project, the girl would become one of the brightest stars in the sky of Russian show business. But for several years now, the girl practically does not appear on the scene. How was the singer’s life and what is she doing now?
early years
Elena Kukarskaya was born on October 10, 1983 in Tyumen. Mother worked as a teacher, and father worked in an oil company. As a child, Lena was distinguished by diligent behavior, and she was often put as an example to other students. She never came to school with unlearned lessons. If some moments were not clear to her, she could study the subject all night long so as not to get a bad mark.
From an early age she attended a music school, where she studied piano. But she dreamed of connecting her future with history or becoming a translator. Later, he changes his mind and enters the Tyumen State Institute of Culture. In his student years he plays in KVN and takes part in various music competitions. At regional festivals, she repeatedly becomes a laureate.
"Star Factory-5"
Mom persuaded Elena Kukarskaya to take part in a very popular project. The girl herself did not dream of getting "on TV", but did not begin to contradict her mother. Two qualifying rounds were wasted. Nobody liked the dumpling from Tyumen. The upset girl bought a ticket and got home. Taking a walk along the Arbat in the evening, she met a young man and spoke about the reasons for her sad mood. A new friend convinced her not to quit what she had begun, and the next day Lena performed brilliantly at the casting, and then was credited to the project as a participant. From that moment, a completely different life began.
Dreams Come True
Not all Muscovites managed to see Alla Pugacheva at least once in their lives. What to say about the girls from the province? Kukarskaya fell into a real fairy tale: she not only talked with celebrities, but also performed on stage with them. The colorful young lady instantly won the hearts of the audience. The sweet nickname Cook, whom Alla Borisovna awarded her, became the hallmark of the aspiring singer. The prima donna herself helped her try on concert costumes and chose songs for her. With her light hand in the factory’s repertoire appeared the composition “For Little”. Elena Kukarskaya after her performance woke up as a star. For several weeks, the song remained at the top of the Russian charts and became the anthem of any female feast. The girl took fourth place on the project, but by this time she should not have worried about her future.
Fame
Such increased attention to the colorful blonde did not go unnoticed by the producers. Max Fadeev offered her a contract, and the girl agreed. This was a real success, because the eminent producer had on his account only successful commercial projects. The fruit of their joint work was the album "Queen", which sold well. Elena Kukarskaya recorded two songs with Narcissus Pierre; a video was shot on one of them. But still, for several years she never managed to gain a foothold on the stage. There were no more hits, and at the end of the project Pugacheva did not follow the work of her wards.
Despite the fact that the former popularity never returned, the girl continued to give concerts. In 2016, the second album, “By Little”, was released, which included the best songs of the singer. He became more successful commercially. In 2017, Elena Kukarskaya’s new song “Women Love Men” hit the leading radio stations and was aired every day. For 4 months she sounded on the waves.
Personal life
Even at the time of her ascent to the musical Olympus, the girl met with businessman Alexei Krutykh. For several years, young people met, and then formalized the relationship. In 2014, Elena gave the wife a son, Fedor. By that time, the girl had already decided to change her occupation and entered MITRO. Now she masters the profession of leading television and radio programs. Elena regularly posts photos with her son and husband on social networks. She still has a large number of fans who hope to see her soon as one of the presenters on television.
