Biography of the former participant of "VIA Gra" Anastasia Kozhevnikova
Nastya was born in Yuzhnoukrainsk, in late March 1993, in a creative family. The girl’s grandfather and dad were photographers, grandmother taught music, and mom sang in the choir. Not surprisingly, little Anastasia chose the vocalist's path.
Nastya Kozhevnikova entered the music school at the age of 8, before that, she had been singing in the children's choir of the city level for two years. In the “musician” Anastasia mastered the basics of playing the piano, but the teachers, noting her singing talent, suggested that they also engage in vocals.
But after school, the girl chose another direction in further education - management. She understood that a serious profession would also be useful in her life. She mastered this profile direction already in the capital of Ukraine - in Kiev. In parallel with her studies, Anastasia stormed all vocal contests and auditions, but luck avoided her. And only the support of her mother made her go on stage again and again in front of strict members of the jury.
Career Anastasia Kozhevnikova
From early childhood, Nastya strove for the "big" stage, but her talent was stubbornly not noticed. At the music school, she was supported by teachers - professional vocalists and musicians who understood that the girl was talented, deserved something more than a place in a children's choir at the level of a provincial Ukrainian city.
At 16, Anastasia was waiting for another disappointment, she again did not receive the approval of the jury at the next casting. It was then that the girl decided to get a more serious profession. But mother persistently forced her to try her strength again and again.
Nastya tried her strength only within Ukraine. In her "piggy bank" of this plan there are such song contests as "Super Zirka", "X-Factor". In the last competition she even went to the first round, but in the second she wasn’t missed. It seemed to be the "last straw." But my mother found out that Konstantin Meladze was coming to pick up the girls for the new line-up of her acclaimed group, VIA Gra. And, at the insistence of her mother, Anastasia Kozhevnikova went there. It was her finest hour, but, unfortunately, only for a few years.
Anastasia Kozhevnika in the group "VIA Gra"
In the second round of the contest, Medase Konstantin Kozhevnikov passed easily - the young beauty immediately won the hearts of strict members of the jury, and this literally inspired her. As a result, all the tests were successfully passed, at the end of 2013 a new line-up of the most popular female musical and vocal group "VIA Gra" was formed, which included Anastasia Kozhevnikova.
In less than six months, the girls from the group became “members” of the top songs, the most downloaded and most popular on the radio. But they did not succeed in becoming winners of the "Best Promotion of the Year" award.
Soon, disagreements began in the group. The press wrote that the girls can’t get along with each other, at rehearsals and even performances they often have scandals.
As a result, when Nastya started talking about leaving the group and breaking the contract, producer Konstantin Meladze did not oppose her decision. It is still not known for certain whether the conflict with which of the girls led to this decision, but Anastasia Kozhevnikova is still friends with Misha Romanova.
There was another version of why Kozhevnikova left VIA Gru - supposedly her newly-made husband was dissatisfied with his wife’s too frank outfits on stage, and Nastya gave in to him.
