Those who listen to domestic performers of an alternative direction cannot but know such a wonderful folk rock singer as Pelagia. Her biography is not distinguished by special ups and downs, but at the same time she does not have to touch the pure deep vocals and beautiful, sincere songs. Indeed, this voice can rightfully be called the property of the Russian land! But this is a digression. Let us turn to the facts, namely, to the biography of the singer.
Pelagia - originally from childhood
A beautiful voice and desire to sing is probably a family trait that is transmitted along the female line. Why do we say that? Everything is simple. Pelageya's mother - Svetlana Khanova - also performed at the same time with her band, performing jazz songs. Put an end to this breakdown of voice, because of which she had to become a theater director. Later, the mother of our beloved performer will become the producer and director of the group that her daughter will collect. A girl was born, who was first recorded under the name Polina, in Novosibirsk. Parents called the girl Pelageya, and in the end, the mistake was corrected already in the singer’s passport. This name was her great-grandmother.
As early as four years old, Pelagia first appeared on the stage, and at eight years old she entered the Novosibirsk Special Music College (school), where she became the first vocalist to participate in twenty-five years of the institution’s history. At nine years old, the singer met Dmitry Revyakin from the Kalinov Most group, who directed her cassette to the Morning Star in Moscow. True, then the folklore unit was not yet present in the program, and therefore Yuri Nikolaev recommended that the girl simply participate in the contest, where she won as a result, having received a prize of one thousand dollars.
The popularity has come
Around the same time, the song "Lubo, Brothers, Lubo", which was recorded in Novosibirsk, became a hit among the fighters of the Novosibirsk riot police who participated in the counter-terrorist operation in Chechnya. How this record got to them is still not known. But since then, the long-awaited popularity has come to Pelagia.
After that, already at the age of ten she signed a contract with a company engaged in recording songs of famous artists at that time, and moved to Moscow. There she studied first at a music school, and then at a school with an in-depth study of choreography and music. So she becomes a scholarship holder of the Young Talent of Siberia Foundation and a member of the UN New Planet Names program. As a result, the countries of the world recognized the name of Pelagia.
Alternative Biography
