Anna Pletneva is a former soloist of two well-known pop groups Lyceum and Vintage. Tired of working in groups, the singer preferred to pursue a solo career, changing, inter alia, the format of the songs.
Biography and Education
A popular Russian singer was born in Moscow on August 21, 1977. Anya studied at the school with an in-depth study of choreography, but since childhood she dreamed of a career as a singer. The girl showed bright artistic abilities almost from the cradle, so even before enrolling in school, the parents sent the child to engage in a dance ensemble at the Ostankino television studio.
After graduation, Anna entered the conservatory in the department of pop and jazz singing. And here Pletneva showed herself in the best way, as a result of which she received an offer to become a teacher in one of the courses of the conservatory.
Career and job
Career growth of Anna Pletneva on the musical ladder began with the group "Lyceum". The team held a casting on the occasion of the departure from the group of Lena Perova. The singer took part in it. Pletneva easily passed all the qualifying rounds and became one of the soloists. The group in the distant 90s was at the peak of popularity, the trio received several awards of the Russian scene, including Silver Microphone and Ovation.
Anna spent 8 years with the group, for which, according to her, she gained considerable experience in pop art. "Lyceum" constantly toured, the participants had to work in various conditions, which became a good school of life for Pletneva.
In one of the flights, Anna met the idol of her childhood - Vladimir Presnyakov. Back in school times, the girl carefully kept the autograph she received at her concert at Presnyakov’s concert and dreamed of singing a duet with him on the same stage. The dream was destined to come true at that moment. During the flight, Anna admitted to Vladimir that she would like to sing a song with him, and the singer, struck by the words of the girl, could not refuse her. On the same evening, in one of the concert concerts, they stood on the same stage and performed a duet song.
Pletnev terminated the contract with Lyceum in 2004, refusing to take part in a political campaign related to events in Ukraine. In the same period, Anna collects her own team called "Coffee with Milk" and releases the song "9 ½ weeks." However, despite the fact that the song was played on all popular TV channels, it did not bring the singer any desired success. A year later, the group had to be dissolved due to the unprofitability of the project.
The next step in the world of show business was Vintage. The team consisted of Pletneva herself and Alexei Romanov, who was the author of the songs for Anna's previous project. The format of the compositions has changed, as well as the images of the performers, which allowed the project to "shoot". For a long time, the songs of “Vintage” occupied the leading lines of the musical charts, and the name of Pletneva was well known. The first single, Criminal Love, was released in the spring of 2007, and in 2008 the band began touring actively. In the same period, Pletneva, together with Elena Korikova, shot a video for the song "Bad Girl", which received the award "MTV Russia Music Awards 2008".
The debut album "SEX" was presented a year later (2009). It included such songs as: "Loneliness of Love", "Eve" and others. The year 2011 was marked by the release of the album "Anechka", which included such compositions as "Roman", "Trees" and "Sign of Aquarius".
Personal life
In 2003, the singer got married, but the marriage was not destined to exist for a long time and it ended in divorce. From her first husband, Anna has a daughter, Barbara. The husband left the family almost immediately after the birth of his daughter. The initiator of the divorce was Anna. According to her, the husband was not ready for fatherhood, which upset the singer and even caused a prolonged depression.
The second husband was businessman Kirill Syrov, from whom Anna has two children: daughter Maria and son Kirill. Children were born in 2005 and 2009, respectively. Acquaintance with the second spouse happened long before a serious relationship. A man noticed a pretty girl in one of the nightclubs and went up to meet. Anna left her phone number, but soon forgot about the acquaintance, and besides, the number was incorrect. The second meeting took place only three years later. At that time, the future husband Pletneva was already married, managed to give birth to a child and file for divorce. This meeting was also not fateful, Anna ignored the man. The third time, Pletneva and Syrov met in 10 years in Dnepropetrovsk. In order to provoke communication, Cyril bought the room reserved by Anna and she had to settle with Nastya Makarevich. Trying to understand this situation, Pletneva asked the hotel employee to help, but instead, Syrov came to the rescue. From that moment on, relations began to develop rapidly, but did not immediately turn into family relations, since Anna did not know how daughter Maria would perceive the appearance of a new man in her life. Now the family has three children, and Cyril became not only the spouse of Anna, but also her producer.
