They talked about a girl with unusually strong voice data in Russia and Ukraine back in 2008, with the advent of the TV show Star Factory-7. Anastasia Prikhodko with her direct, stubborn, but at the same time good-natured character stood out from other participants. And her vocal talent immediately found her fans.
Come from childhood
Prikhodko Anastasia Konstantinovna was born on April 21, 1987 in the capital of Ukraine, the city of Kiev. Nastya's father worked in the mine, his mother in journalism. The family also has the eldest son Nazar, who was for Anastasia both a brother and friend and companion in musical affairs. Some time after the birth of the girl, the parents broke up, and only the mother raised the children in the future.
First musical aspirations
As a teenager, Anastasia Prikhodko was already thinking about her future in the world of music and show business. Therefore, a confident fifteen-year-old girl took part in the casting to become one of the members of the popular Ukrainian group VIA Gra. But this time, unfortunately, she failed. But the stubborn and persistent girl did not give up. She graduated from the Kiev Glier School in folk vocals, knowing for sure that this is her ticket to the future.
The path to starry life
Knowing the girl’s purposefulness, few people were surprised that Anastasia Prikhodko became the winner in the Russian reality show “Star Factory-7”. The biography of the young singer from this moment takes on a starry shade. So, after the end of the project, producer Konstantin Meladze invited Nastya to sign a contract, which she did with great joy. In May 2009, in the city of Yalta, a solo concert was organized by beginner performers - Anastasia Prikhodko and Mark Tishman. It was at this event that Nastya presented her own program.
Do not stop there
In 2009, Moscow hosted a publicly and openly election of a Russian participant for one of Europe’s most prestigious competitions - Eurovision. At the last moment before the start of the selection, producer Meladze was included in the lists of contestants and Anastasia Prikhodko. Eurovision-2009 for a novice singer is a wonderful chance to express herself and her talent not only in Ukraine and Russia, but also in other European countries. She could not take part from her home country because of disqualification, so it was necessary to look for another option.
For Nastya, a heartbreaking and touching hit “Mamo” was written by Konstantin Meladze. In the Russian qualifying competition, the singer won by a margin of 25 percent of the audience, leaving Valeria, the Quatro group, Alexei Vorobyov and Anna Semenovich far behind.
Triumph or failure?
After the city of Belgrade, where Dima Bilan won a triumph at Eurovision 2008, Russia, namely Moscow, accepted the competition. Semifinals took place on May 12 and 14 at the Moscow Olympic Sports Complex, but the Russian participant started immediately from the final on May 16. Talented and bright Anastasia Prikhodko performed her song in two languages: Russian and Ukrainian. For her performance, a special screen was created on which the image of the singer alternated in different years of her life: from youth to the first senile wrinkles. But, unfortunately, even such an unusual performance did not help Nastya win, she took only eleventh place.
The winner of Eurovision 2009 was a young singer from Norway with Belarusian roots, Alexander Rybak, who performed the song of his own composition “Fairytale” (“Fairy Tale”). In 2011, a graduate of Star Factory-7 took part in the Ukrainian qualifying round of Eurovision 2011, she was even considered one of the favorites, but she could not get around all the rivals.
Personal moments
In late 2009 - early 2010 Many fans have a question: where did the bright and driving Anastasia Prikhodko go? The personal life of the singer has always remained closed to the masses. But this time the news was unexpected - Nastya is getting married. Her chosen one was a businessman from Abkhazia, Nuri Kukhilov. Of course, not a single girl could resist the beautiful and romantic courtship of a black-haired handsome man. And Nastya is no exception. And on April 4, 2010, another person appeared in the family. The daughter was called Nanna.
However, the romantic relationship did not last long. In 2011, due to constant misunderstanding, the couple broke up. But, as it turned out, after a while the lovers realized that they could not live without each other, and the family reunited again.
Anastasia Prikhodko at the age of twenty-three appeared on the cover, as well as on the pages of the Ukrainian magazine XXL, posing in only one underwear. Preparing for the upcoming photo shoot, the girl did a thorough job in order to lose weight. It should be noted that Nurik was against such actions of Nastya, since he is more inclined to having modest clothes with his wife. In most cases, the singer walked towards her husband: she tried not to wear open dresses, short skirts, avoided bright makeup, and rarely appeared at social events. Unfortunately, life shows that people with strong characters find it difficult to get along together, so in 2013 the couple decided to break up again.
The fruits of the singer
After several years of hard work, Anastasia Prikhodko can also boast of her musical results. The discography of the singer has about twenty songs.
In 2008, a song was released, and then the clip “Recklessly”, in collaboration with Valery Meladze, in 2009 - touching “Mamo”. Then there were “Loved”, “Light will flash”, “Your heart”, “On the waves”, “Clairvoyant”, “Action”, “Between us the sky”, “Could”, “Waited”, “Romance” and “Nika” . All of them were included in the singer’s album “Waited”, recorded in 2012. Prikhodko’s most recent work is the song “Half the Way,” which was shot in 2014 with the same video.
Now the singer lives in Kiev with her daughter and beloved man, whose name he does not yet name. She devotes all her free time to raising a child, in every way contributing to the development of creative inclinations in the girl. Together with some friends, Prikhodko actively participates in the social and cultural life of the Ukrainian capital and the country as a whole.
