The soloist of the Lyceum group Anastasia Makarevich was born on April 17, 1977 in the family of a journalist. As it sometimes happens, parents divorced. Nastya was then only eight years old. Like all children, she did not want everything to be so. Initially, she bore the name of her own father - Kapralov. But, apparently, resigned to his departure, she replaced her with the name of her stepfather, who was able to replace her own dad.
Creative roots
The paternal grandfather of the singer was a famous film critic and art critic. He wrote scripts and had a degree in art history. As you can see, from childhood, Anastasia was surrounded by people of art. But the greatest influence on her work had a stepfather, Alexei Lazarevich Makarevich. In 2014, he died at the age of almost sixty. He lived a stormy creative life, was a guitarist in the famous Soviet group Sunday and the founder of a successful project for his adopted daughter.
Alexei is a cousin to Andrei Makarevich, founder of the Time Machine group. But, as you can see, he himself had an independent creative line in music. Before participating in the group "Sunday" (1979-1980) he had his own musical group - "Kuznetsk bridge". On Sunday, he temporarily returned after 14 years. His daughter (Nastina's maternal sister) Varvara is also passionate about music and show business. She was both the vocalist in the group and the TV presenter.
The beginning of the path to glory
Anastasia Makarevich has always been a gifted child. She learned to sing and perform at the Children's Variety Theater. Once her stepfather looked in there for a speech. He saw how his adopted daughter could sing and keep herself on stage, and decided to immediately create a new female music group. Nastya was then only 13 years old.
The creative biography of Anastasia Makarevich began in 1991. A trio of young girls performed in the program "Morning Star". That performance has not yet attracted much attention from the audience. More and more talented children constantly appeared on the program , and the appearance of three more did not surprise anyone. However, it is worth considering that they did not sing their song, but the work of the famous group ABBA. Any artist appears on his face only after writing his own unique work. So a year later became the song "Saturday Night." In 1992, she was performed in the program "Muz-Oboz." It was her who began to recognize the "Lyceum." She was one of the most famous in their repertoire. But the members of the group were then only fourteen years old.
Only music
Young Nastya owed all these successes to her stepfather, who believed in her talent. Therefore, having reached a very important age for any student, her sixteen years of age, she, without a doubt, changed her surname. All her conscious childhood she was surrounded by the world of music. The girl graduated from a music school in the guitar class, took a course at the Children's Theater of Pop Singing.
When the singer first appeared on blue screens, she, as already mentioned, was only thirteen years old. The future artist did not stop her studies and in 1995 became a graduate of the musical and choreographic school. What happened next? Learning continued, although adulthood had already begun. At Moscow State University, she graduated from the Department of Tourism and Hospitality.
However, Anastasia never forgot about music. She went through the path of higher musical education and was certified as a teacher of pop and jazz vocals. Over time, she managed to obtain the degree of Associate Professor of music.
Work in the group "Lyceum"
The band’s first album was House Arrest. The audience was impressed by the harsh name of the album, and charming funny girls in jeans. Unlike many other women's groups that were before the Lyceum and after, these participants not only sang, but also played the instrument perfectly. And the guitar at all times looked very good on stage.
“Lyceum students” set off on their first tour in 1995. They then just turned eighteen years old. Their second, already adult, album was called "Girlfriend's Night" and was released a year earlier. The real glory of the group brings a new hit by Alexei Makarevich. It was he who wrote the very song "Autumn", which many remember to this day. The song sounded in all charts.
Lyceum today
The third album was Open Curtain. The composition of the team is constantly undergoing changes. Participants replace one another. Invariably, only Anastasia Makarevich sings in it. “Lyceum” against the backdrop of all the changes does not stop recording new songs. In 2000, their sixth album, “You Become Different,” was released.
Today, Anastasia Makarevich, whose personal life has become quite saturated, has little to do with music. She is the mother of two small children. The second son was born weighing four kilograms. She and her husband live a happy family in a small apartment. She maintains with her sister Barbara, who is ten years younger, an excellent relationship and speaks well of relatives. A new family quiet life now replaces her scene. The singer managed to keep her figure thanks to the right diets. Perhaps she will soon please fans with new hits.
