Biography

I was born in Borisov, Belarus. I had wanted to be an actress since the age of 10. Unfortunately, I was not accepted to the academy of arts. Instead I was accepted to Shyrokov's Institute of Contemporary Knowledge, where I specialized in 'Production' (music production?). While here I combined practical work with academic study. For example - I recorded my first song in 4th year of university with Anton Akimov as part of our homework/assignments. I learned how to sing and listened to music from many genres. From a young age I have been wearing headphones. I can't imagine my life without tunes/music. I remember hearing the song UR'IA, the effect it had on me was incredible. I started looking for and listening to other songs, delving into their meaning. I liked folk motifs from an early age. It grew into a deep attraction and study of the Belarusian culture. And then into the desire to show and prove to myself and others that it can be interesting, modern, cool. I would like the whole world to know about the beauty of the Belarusian language, culture, people. And most importantly, Belarusians themselves should learn to be proud of their homeland.
