Alena Sviridova - three-time winner of the Golden Gramophone Prize, Honored Artist of Russia, winner of a beautiful voice and bright appearance. To date, the singer is not so actively engaged in a musical career, but often appears on the air of "Road Radio".
Childhood and youth
Alyona Valentinovna Sviridova was born on August 14, 1962 in the eastern Crimean city of Kerch. The girl was not the only child in the family, she has a younger brother Alex. Her father served in military aviation, and her mother devoted her life to working on the radio. Soon after the birth of her daughter, the whole family moved to the village of Otradnaya, Krasnodar Territory, and then to Minsk. In the girl’s hometown there was only a grandmother, whom Alena visited every summer.
Thus, almost all of Sviridova’s childhood passed in Minsk. After school, for higher education, the girl went to the local pedagogical institute (now BSPU named after Maxim Tank), where she mastered the profession of a music teacher.
Career
The girl was imbued with love for the stage in her student years. It was then that she began to act as part of a team at the plant named after Vavilova (now - BelOMO). Together with other members of this ensemble, she toured a number of cities in Belarus with tours.
Subsequently, she composed several songs that fell into the rotation of Minsk radio stations. At that time, Alena clutched at every opportunity to conquer the scene, since working as a simple music teacher did not attract her anymore. Due to the fact that she had her own repertoire of several compositions, she became a regular at the local Palaces of Culture and music festivals.
At the end of the university, not having much popularity and numerous proposals for concerts, Sviridova got a part-time job at the State Drama Theater, where she played several vivid and memorable roles. But in her heart she lived only one dream - to conquer the big stage. Her career went uphill with the collapse of the Soviet Union, then she began to perform "on the opening act" with the stars of show business.
During one of these performances, she was noticed by one Moscow producer. He invited the aspiring artist to move to the capital of the fraternal state and develop a career there, to which Alena agreed.
But in order for her upcoming debut album to become popular, she needed to establish herself among the public of a new country for her. In order to present her work, she began to participate in competitions such as "Song-93", "Generation-93" and many others.
After that, she released the single "Pink Flamingo", which cemented the girl’s success on the big stage of the post-Soviet space. And in order to finally make a splash, in 1994 Sviridova's debut LP titled “Pink Flamingo” was released, which makes her a truly famous performer.
And then it was all: shooting on television, and a lot of video clips, and touring the CIS countries.
The singer's discography has 7 albums, the last of which was released in 2017. Also in the arsenal of the performer there are more than 20 video clips for her own compositions.
