2001-2005: Beginning of career and album “City of Deception”

The story of Cinderella still takes place in my life. Moreover, the meeting with Vlad took place at the moment when I finally forbade myself from even dreaming of a big stage. Then I was possessed by youthful maximalism, I was indignant at what I saw on the TV screen. I couldn’t understand why many artists, not knowing how to sing and not having a good repertoire, regularly appear on air? I thought: “Give me at least a flip phone in this city, and I’ll show you what a real artist is!”

Christmas tree about the beginning of cooperation with Vlad Valov.

In 2001, the group “B&B” performed at the international Rap festival Music"01, where Yolka was noticed by Vlad Valov, the leader of the group Bad Balance, who later became the singer's first producer. After the group broke up, and the singer did not appear on stage for some time. At this time, she gave up her dream of becoming an artist and got a job as a waitress in a cafe. Three years later, Yolka received a call from Valov’s company. The singer said that for a long time she thought that she was being pranked, but then she talked with Vlad, who sent her tickets to Moscow and suggested: “Come for a week, we’ll experiment.” Vlad Valov signs contract with Yolka and one of the first songs recorded with him was “Words Spoken by You,” included in the collection “Girls Attack.”

In 2004, Yolka performed in a concert on Mikhei’s memorial day with her group, which also included two guitarists and DJ Lenar. At the concert, Yolka performed Micah’s song “Bitch-Love.” "It was deliberate step. I didn’t just sing this song. It was dedicated to the evening in memory of Micah, I performed the composition especially for his parents. Of course, there were a lot of rumors, but still there were more positive reviews. I always emphasize that this is not a commercial move, but a tribute to a person,” the artist later said. Continuing her collaboration with Valov, the singer recorded a song composed by him, “City of Deception.” “Vlad, looking at me, wrote the song “City of Deception,” a song that is my reflection,” the singer recalled. The composition was released on the radio in the summer of 2004 and became Yolka’s first hit, hitting the hit parade of the Maximum radio station and having stayed there for twelve weeks.

On November 9, 2005, the performer’s debut album, entitled “City of Deception,” was released.

The singer herself described her style as “heavy guitar R&B.” NewsMusic.ru wrote that “this is the first time such a mix has been done in Russia.” The album was met with varying opinions. Rita Skeeter at InterMedia responded positively to the work, saying: “Yolka and Valov have found a way to make this genre truly competitive even in our market with its national characteristics" Andrey Nikitkin wrote in Rap.ru that Yolka is still a pop project, but “of very high quality. It incorporates elements of both r"n"b and rock, reggae, chanson and pop. And it’s aimed not so much at fans of any of these styles, but at a wide audience.” Boris Barabanov in the Kommersant newspaper also spoke about the singer as the main hope of Russian pop music.

1982-2001: Childhood and youth
Lisa Ivantsiv was born on July 2, 1982 in Uzhgorod. At first I studied at high school No. 8 in Uzhgorod, and completed her studies at school No. 19. Growing up in a musical family (father is a collector of jazz music, mother is a musician who plays three instruments, grandparents sang in the Transcarpathian folk choir), Elizaveta sang in the school choir, then she joined the vocal circle at the Palace of Pioneers.

It gained local popularity thanks to the KVN team of Uzhgorod schoolchildren “Ward No. 6”, which in 2001-2003 was transformed into the team of Uzhgorod and Vinnitsa. According to the performer, she did not come up with her pseudonym on purpose. From the age of eleven everyone began to call her Yolkoy, after “one of the friends blurted out: “Yolka,” someone heard it and away they went.” “...yes, I haven’t responded to my name since I was eleven. Even my mother calls me Yolochka. Only dad remembers everything and reacts very inadequately when friends forget my name. He immediately lists all the vegetation in the Red Book for them, especially when they call in the night,” said the artist.
Yolka entered the music school in the vocal class, but did not graduate. According to her admissions, she did not have a good relationship with the teachers: “I honestly tried to study at the music school in the vocal class. But this venture was not crowned with success. I had problems there with everyone in the world and everyone with me. Therefore, after six months I just left: “Let me quickly kick you out before you ask me.” In the mid-1990s Christmas tree became a member of the Uzhgorod group “B&B”, where she performed as a backing vocalist.

2001-2005: Beginning of career and album “City of Deception”

...the story of Cinderella still takes place in my life. Moreover, the meeting with Vlad took place at the moment when I finally forbade myself from even dreaming of a big stage.

The composition was released on radio in the summer of 2004 and became the first hit Christmas trees, hitting the hit parade of the Maximum radio station and staying on it for twelve weeks.

On November 9, 2005, the performer’s debut album, entitled “City of Deception,” was released. Work on the disc, released on the 100PRO label, was completed in mid-2005 and, as the performer said, the disc was written “in one breath.” Yolka presented music in different styles, which was classified as rock (due to the guitar parts) and hip-hop (due to the “broken” rhythms and scratches).

And it’s aimed not so much at fans of any of these styles, but at a wide audience.” Boris Barabanov in the Kommersant newspaper also spoke about the singer as the main hope of Russian pop music.

In 2005, Yolka became a nominee for the MTV RMA award in the “Best Rap” category. Several more singles were also released from the album, including the successful songs “Girl in a Peugeot” and “Good Mood”, the latter of which reached position 56 in the Russian radio chart.

2006-2009: albums “Shadows” and “This Magnificent World”
In 2006, the singer released the song “Student Girl” as a single, which reached 17th place in the Russian radio chart. Released on October 19 Yolka’s 2nd studio album “Shadows”. Elena Kuzmina wrote in Jamsession.ru that the record continued the traditions of the first album and described mainly city life. Guru Ken from NewsMusic.ru felt that in the new album Yolka presented too pop material and noted that it no longer caused such a stir as the first. "Projected at a romantic teenage audience, the second album Yolki“Shadows” is unlikely to become the event of the year. But this album can confirm that r’n’b projects are still alive in Russia, and even attract packed tiny (but pretentious) clubs,” the author noted. In March, Yolka voiced Red Cap in the Russian dubbing of the cartoon " True story Red Cap."

In 2007, the performer received the Golden Gramophone award for the song “Handsome Boy.” In April 2008, Yolka’s third album, “This Magnificent World,” was released. The singer called her new work calmer and more philosophical. “The first album had pronounced tendencies of internal protest, struggle, and pressing problems. And now I tried to record a more peaceful album, because I came to the understanding that many problems can be smoothed out with love,” said the artist. In 2008, she was also nominated for the Muz-TV award, in the category " Best Hip Hop project". In the same year, she recorded a joint composition “Happiness” with rapper Al Solo. The song was included in the singer’s experimental album “Yolka. Duets", which included fifteen compositions recorded with artists of the Russian hip-hop/R&B scene. In September, the performer’s first Ukrainian-language song entitled “Freedom” was presented. The Kurs radio station assumed that the composition was recorded in connection with political changes in Ukraine. “This light and bright composition will tell about freedom. Although it was written under the impression of not the most pleasant incidents in the singer’s homeland,” they wrote on the Course website.

In 2009, the singer released two new songs: “Dreams” and “Your Words”, for the latter of which a video clip was shot. The composition was recorded for Yolka's fourth studio album. Work on the fourth album was initially carried out with Valov, but after the end of the contract with Yolka, the collaboration was terminated and the recorded song “Your Words” was not included in any of the singer’s albums. The song “Dreams” was subsequently included in the fourth album, but under the title “I would like in your dreams...” and in a different arrangement.
2010-2011: changes in creativity and the album “The Points Are Placed”

After the release of her third studio album, changes began to occur in Yolka’s work. Alexey Mazhaev noted in InterMedia that the singer had reached a dead end, but it was too early to “give up” on her. The journalist advised her to expand the circle of authors and practice intonation (“masterpieces of world pop and rock are suitable for this different years"). Denis Stupnikov wrote in KM.ru that the artist heeded this advice and in 2009, at a rock tribute to Alla Pugacheva, she performed the ballad “You exist in the world,” and a year later her contract with producer Vlad Valov ended. After that, Yolka began working with Liana Meladze and Alena Mikhailova from Velvet Music, and in 2010 she became a judge on the Ukrainian show “X-Factor”. According to the artist, she was prompted to make changes in her life by an interview she gave to Alla Pugacheva a year before the appearance of the song “Provence”:
A year before “Provence,” Pugacheva herself invited me to her Alla radio program. And the conversation with her, along with several other important conversations, stimulated me greatly. Alla Borisovna and I had a very emotional conversation! I left with such an impression! I told her that I have my own little niche and I don’t need more. She asks - if I want to come to your concert, where will you invite me? Or would I like to come and visit where you invite me? And it hurt me.- Yolka

A “radical turning point” is taking place in the singer’s work. If before the songs Christmas trees were performed in R&B and alternative rock styles, now they have become more positive and in pop style. On September 20, the singer released a new single, “Provence,” written by the young Ukrainian author Egor Solodovnikov. The song became a big hit in early 2011. The singer described the new album as reflecting her internal state. “Any artist, even with minimal creative ambitions, wants to be listened to and heard. By the age of 29, I realized that being a pop singer is not only shameful, but very cool,” Yolka said in an interview with “Sounds. RU". The success of “Provence” helped the singer receive three nominations for the 2011 Muz-TV Award, in the categories “ Best Singer", "Best Song" and " Best video" In June, the performer was included in the list of the most successful figures in Ukrainian show business for the 2010-2011 season, compiled by the Ukrainian publication Focus.

Artistry and musical style

Early career music journalists Yolka was singled out primarily for her extraordinary vocal abilities. Andrei Nikitin wrote in Rap.ru that “the singer... has a voice of serious nerve. It’s like a perfect instrument that no matter what you play, it’s great.” Rita Skeeter in InterMedia considered that “Yolka’s voice turned out to be suitable for realizing the wildest musical dreams.” Boris Barabanov wrote about the “original vocal style” of the singer’s performance, and Denis Stupnikov noted the memorable intonations and powerful expression of her performance. Vlad Valov said: “I looked at Yolka, and while she was humming something in the studio, I realized that she could sing anything.”

Yolka was not the author of the songs on her debut album and this, according to Skeeter, could have disappointed the singer’s first fans. The performer herself said in response to this: “Many people reproach me for being just a performer and not writing myself. I'm not a performer. I am a medium. These are different things. I just know how to convey to people the right words" Yolka was classified as a genre of Russian rhythm and blues. Barabanov wrote that “the first song “City of Deceit” once made people start talking about Yolka as the heir to the glory of the late Micah.” Nikitin spoke out against this definition. In his opinion, the authors of the capital’s publications awarded Yolka the title of “the first Russian r&b performer” and attached to her “the stilted expression “Micah in a skirt,” which made “one wonder about the competence of these people” and “doubt their morality.” The singer herself was skeptical of the critics’ statements and, although she called her style “heavy guitar R&B,” she explained that she said this as a joke when journalists asked questions about the style of her music.

When journalists start to “torture” me, I sometimes answer that my style is called Russian hard r’n’b. Naturally, this is just a joke, because in fact I have never thought about the style in which we work. I find it very funny when some groups actively invent their own Musical direction, and then they cannot clearly explain what kind of style this is. In general, Russian r’n’b is not about me. - Yolka in an interview with Toppop.ru

Critics noted the influence of rhythm and blues, rock, reggae, chanson and pop in her songs. Boris Barabanov noted that the most successful songs on Yolka’s debut album were those in which “her ideas about modern vocals intersected with traditions Soviet stage, namely in the issues “June 31”, “Girl in a Peugeot” and “Good Mood”. These songs are not so much Yolka’s luck, but rather stories about how Irina Otieva and Larisa Dolina could sound if they dared to seriously appeal to a youth audience.” However, most journalists called the singer “the hope of pop music.”

For a long time, Yolka remained a niche artist, with her own small audience. In her subsequent albums, she continued the theme of urban life in a big city. Elena Kuzmina from Jamsession.ru wrote: “Yolka is an urban singer, all [her] songs are about the city and its inhabitants.” By the third album, the exploitation of the same themes and the invariability of the musical style led to the fact that the public and critics began to lose interest in the performer. Yolka said that she herself was unhappy with the current situation and was ready to realize her ambitions. In an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda, she said that she spent nine years in Moscow and did not sit idle during all this time: “I sang songs. For a long time. I was just a fairly niche singer. This is indeed true. And for some time this suited me. Therefore, there is no point in being offended by this. I had my small but very loyal audience.” This predetermined further changes in the singer’s life.

I have a very simple attitude towards everything. It's all so ephemeral, temporary. I am now enjoying what is happening to me. This time, the fame pressing on me... I live very simply. My life consists of my little joys. The only thing that can load me up a little is this side effects, which are inevitable on such a scale. This yellow press, which I have a disgusting attitude towards. Not even because they hurt me so much. They just treat everyone badly. They forget about basic things. About respect, about not invading personal space. This is the only thing. The rest is rosy and excellent for me. My audience, my travels, my grumbling. These are all my little joys. I was waiting for them. I waited a long time. And after six months you get tired of it? No. It doesn't press. This is cool.
Yolka talks about her acquired popularity in an interview with KP.

The fourth album was a more mature work, which also retained the influence of rhythm and blues and rock, but added a greater share of soul, reggae and pop music. Oleg Luzin from Weburg.net wrote: “By the fourth studio album, “the girl in the Peugeot” refused the services of producer Vlad Valov, frontman of the notorious Bad Balance, and became completely independent. This entailed a radical change in the singer’s work: from R’n’B and alternative rock, Yolka switched to the pop style, which justified itself one hundred percent.” Komsomolskaya Pravda noted that over the past two years, critics and the public “raised [Yolka] to the skies” and increasingly began to call her “almost the first worthy performer to appear after Zemfira, as well as the main hope of the Russian stage”: “ ...under this New Year she was literally torn to pieces. And all thanks to an intricate song about Provence, which literally pushed the singer to big stage from her “club” niche, where for five years she sang mocking songs like “Handsome Boy” and “Girl in a Little Peugeot,” wrote Elena Lapteva, noting that the album “The Dots Are Placed” strengthened her in the status of a “supernova.” Andrey Vasyanin in " Rossiyskaya newspaper"noted that last album The singer was considered by many to be more mainstream compared to the previous ones, but more hit and of higher quality in sound. Describing Yolka’s behavior on stage, he found a contradiction between the musical material (“sonorous, full-fledged, requiring real skill from all participants in the concert, close to soul and pop rock”) and her “lightweight, completely pop” behavior on stage. “For the singer herself, there are no contradictions here - Yolka speaks about herself in the sense that she is neither rock nor alternative, but a pop performer, although “extraordinary and with surprises,” the journalist concluded.

In a review of the singer’s concert at Moscow’s Olimpiysky Sports Complex, Guru Ken wrote that “now it is she [Yolka] who sets the trends in all domestic pop music. What are the trends? Maximum live sound at a concert (but not entirely!), excellent vocals, the ability to live a song, a mix of Euro-pop and rhythm and blues in all possible configurations.” The journalist, noting the sold-out concert, thought that mass public will allow Yolka to perform more experimental music (“intelligent rhythm and blues with reggae”) only as long as she has such hits as “Provence” and “About You”. Mikhail Margolis wrote in Izvestia that “Provence” brought the performer wide fame: “The stylish sketch about the trouble-free flight of a romantic beauty from Boryspil to France brought Yolka to the top of popularity in 2011, from where she still doesn’t want to go down,” and compared the degree of her popularity in Russia with the success of Adele around the world.

After the release of her debut album, the singer received several positive reviews from music critics. Denis Stupnikov wrote in KM.ru that Yolka “sounded like few people in Russian music sound - an unusual voice and masterful use of it, memorable intonations, powerful expression.” Rita Skeeter in InterMedia noted that Yolka is one of the few performers who actually sings, and the album has a signature sound and unusual presentation material. Boris Barabanov wrote in the Kommersant newspaper that “the first song “City of Deception” once made people start talking about Yolka as the heir to the fame of the late Micah from the “Jumanji” project,” but the debut album brought her into the “ main hope Russian popular music" Andrei Nikitin in Rap.ru gave the album a reserved assessment, writing: “When talking about music, arrangements and lyrics, one has to be more restrained in assessments - “not bad,” “strong,” “in some places not without grace,” but only in some places. In general, these components do not cause any special enthusiasm - although they do not raise any questions.” The second album "Shadows" received positive feedback from Sergei Gortsev on Tektonika, who considered that “if the first album “City of Deception” (2005) made people start talking about Yolka as a talented and promising singer, then “Shadows” immediately brings her to the front row domestic performers. The album is very good." Guru Ken, on the contrary, called the album a failure and too “pop”.

In a review of the singer’s third album, Alexei Mazhaev wrote that “the monotony of the vocal style and musical material is annoying,” but nevertheless, “it’s too early to give up on the singer Yolka after her third album. It is clear that the singer has powerful potential, all that remains is to find a channel for its implementation.” Mikhail Baev noted in Billboard magazine that “since “This Magnificent World” is the third album of the project, exploiting the same ideas, it, by definition, does not arouse such interest as previous works.”

Alexander Gorbachev in Afisha gave a positive assessment of the album. The author called the album a generally coherent work and noted that “from the album “The Dots Are Placed,” of course, no global historical conclusions follow - but, paradoxically, positive changes have actually begun to occur in Russian pop music.” The record received a negative review in the Ukrainian publication “Vgolos”. Alexander Kovalchuk wrote that Yolka “completely dissolved in the metaphysical light of the preferences of its producers, but this does not mean that this is a meeting with God.” The album was also positively assessed by Nikolay Smirnov in the publication “Va-Bank”, Nikolay Fandeev from Shoowbiz.ru, Ilya Legostaev in “Moskovsky Komsomolets”, Anton Skultan in Maptype.com, Alexander V. Volkov, columnist for the newspaper “Izvestia”, and Joy Tartaglia on the website Music.com.ua.
Public image

When Yolka first appeared on stage, she herself described her image as “boyish.” Ekaterina Taranova from KM.RU described him as a teenager and noted that the singer appeared in public “with a short provocative haircut, in jeans, sneakers and plush toys in hand". Katya Perets from Plitkar.com.ua wrote that the artist initially occupied “the niche of a kind of Russian-language Pink” on stage. It was noted that the unusualness of her image played a role in her popularity: “... the girl really looked very extravagant - bald head, heavy makeup, a lot of piercings, outfits that could hardly be called feminine... All this was part of her image and still served its purpose role - she was noticed, loved, Yolka’s songs began to take first place in the charts.” Yolka was prone to experimenting with appearance while still living in Uzhgorod. She dyed her hair bright red and said that for her hometown it was a very brave act: “You can’t imagine what it means to walk around Uzhgorod with bright red hair,” and she said that she approaches the choice of clothes more simply: “As for clothes, I’m not able to think through anything in principle. I wore whatever came to hand. Most often, everything happens intuitively - I want it and that’s it!” My parents were calm about Yolka’s experiments with her appearance: “Mom and dad weren’t against my first tattoo and reacted absolutely normally to the fact that at 15 I shaved my head.” In an interview with Moskovsky Komsomolets, she explained that she uses the services of stylists only on the set of video clips, so that she has the opportunity to professionally implement her ideas, and in ordinary life there is no “person to whom I would say: “Come on, come up with an idea for me here.” image!“ - there is no such thing. I do my hair at home myself.”

The performer said that on stage she is “a concentrate of who she is in real life: “That is, if in life I could stretch out some emotion for two weeks, then on stage it breaks out of me in three seconds.” Yolka does not talk about her personal life in interviews and she explained her position on this issue as follows: “Why am I so superstitious and so protective of everything that concerns my personal life? Because everyone is starting to become very morbidly interested in details, sniffing around. This terribly interferes and destroys.” The performer also said that artists should be socially responsible and therefore gave up smoking:

Artists must be responsible - aware of what they bring to the masses. They must be aware of the example they are setting. By the way, I didn’t get into this right away. Then I watched one interview where I was sitting “beautifully”, all “show-off”, with a cigarette - I was still smoking then. This is so terrible, this is disgusting! I'm very ashamed of myself. I then made a vow to myself that I would never smoke on camera again in my life. Then, a few years later, I decided that I would not smoke at all, and I feel great. I don’t advertise this, I don’t hit myself in the chest with my heel, but I believe that this will also become an example for someone, or at least prompt some thought.

In 2010, with changes in musical style, the image of Yolka began to change. She explained it natural causes: growing up, rethinking values. “I’m changing everything! Many people attribute to me the involuntary change of my image. I often hear these conversations: “Before you were a “tomboy”, and now...” No one forced me to do anything. This is just a moment of growing up. I can do this , but the sneakers haven’t gone away,” said the singer. The changes first appeared when the performer acted as a judge on the Ukrainian show “X-Factor”: “Yolka has become a stylish glamorous lady with the right makeup and hairstyle that highlights beautiful features the singer's face. Now her outfits are an example of style, the images are thought out to the smallest detail, she has become softer and lighter - this is noted by all the singer’s fans.”

I feel comfortable in both ways. It’s just that 8-10 years ago I was different. I liked the different style both in music and in clothes. But sooner or later there is a period of growing up when you want to change and improve. And it’s great when you like the result, when you’re happy with the reflection you see in the mirror. But, despite the fact that now I look more like a romantic girl in love, you can be sure that if something happens, I can give you a hand.

Yolka talks about her new image.

In the video clip for the song “Provence,” Yolka appeared in a completely new image: “in an elegant white dress, high-heeled shoes, with a beautiful hairstyle.” She began to be called one of the most stylish singers V Russian show business. In an interview with OK! she said that, nevertheless, she does not try to keep up with fashion: “Fashion is such a capricious thing! Ten years ago it was quite simple, but now it’s hard to keep track of all the trends and directions, and this despite the fact that fashion is cyclical. For me it's more important to be stylish. It’s better to piece together your style than to chase fashion and end up looking ridiculous. I am against fanatical following fashion trends" Among her favorite fashion designers, she named Ukrainian designer Lilia Litovskaya, who creates concert outfits for her.

Notes

Amazing, extravagant, successful singer Elka reacts very sharply to questions about her personal life. “It will always be like this, believe me,” she says firmly. No matter how hard the artist tries to hide her privacy, something is known about her.

Chance acquaintance and meeting ten years later

The real name of the singer Yolka is Elizaveta Ivantsiv, and she is married. Her husband, the most a regular guy named Sergei Astakhov. They met in 1994, when Sergei and his family were vacationing at the Carolina Bugazu resort, and Elka was there on tour. The young people met, spent some time together - the usual a holiday romance. Much later, after Yolka moved to Moscow, they met again and the relationship continued.

At that time (and it was 2004), Elka had just signed a contract with Vlad Valov and disappeared into the recording studio. The debut album “City of Deceit” took up almost all of his time, and Sergei faithfully waited for his beloved in the car. As the producer himself recalls, Elka hid her romance even from the musicians and the entire group. One day the secret alliance ceased to be secret, and Vlad said: “Drag him here, we will feel him.”

Sergei gave the impression of an easy-going man; it was clear that the tree was the leader in this relationship, and that suited her. Her future husband lived with his parents in Khotkovo near Moscow, and the artist began to live with him. The contract did not limit the singer’s personal life (getting married, having children), so the producer had no influence on this situation. Sometimes it seems to him (Vlad Valov) that it is in vain.

Love is evil

The fact is that Sergei does not have any profession, did not work anywhere for a long time, and, according to the same Valov, led the life of a typical gigolo. Elka began to talk more and more often about where and how to earn more money. Regardless of this, in collaboration with Valov, the number of her performances was reduced to two per month.

To reach a new level, it was necessary to “go into pop music”. Which is exactly what happened.

The tree was bought by the influential production tandem of Alena Mikhailova and Liana Meladze.

A fantastic song “Provence” has appeared, wider, even universal recognition appeared, money appeared.

Lisa and Sergei entered into an official marriage almost at the same time when Elka had a creative breakthrough, in 2010.

The celebration was modest, almost homely. Family life was of an unusual character - Elka worked a lot and was the only breadwinner in the family. Sergei’s father made his living by digging wells and did not have a stable income. Astakhov’s mother was sick a lot and did not work. Elka had to support the whole family.

Fellow villagers say that with the appearance of the singer, the Astakhovs’ life improved significantly - she installed gas and heating in their house, and helped complete the garage.

Interesting notes:

Was there a divorce?

She even started building a house in Sergiev Posad; her husband and father-in-law were mainly involved in the construction. Cottage with an area of 500 square meters with a view of the Trinity-Sergius Lavra they began to build in the same year when the young people got married.

In 2016, construction was suspended. According to neighbors, the couple stopped appearing in Sergiev Posad due to emerging disagreements. “The star got tired of carrying everything on himself, so she kicked him out,” the neighbors gossiped.

Elka does not comment on this information. It is known that in 2016, the singer fired Astakhov from the position of her administrator. His work in this field was the longest, but even loving wife I couldn’t motivate this person to work productively. Astakhov could not cope with this profession.

IN in social networks posts of that period are characterized by the fact that The Christmas tree appears in splendid isolation in the photo, however wedding ring doesn't take off. In recent photos, my husband is also absent, but there are a lot of concerts, friends and dogs. In recent years, the singer has been helping shelters and homeless animals a lot, helping them find owners and save them from the euthanasia procedure.

There is no official information about the singer’s divorce from Sergei Astakhov. There are no children in this marriage either. Public opinion about this union was divided into two unequal parts. Most consider this couple to be a classic union of mommy and gigolo; others, especially those who know Sergei personally, believe that he is a very sincere, polite, calm young man, and Elka is quite happy with him. Someone else's family is in the dark, and who knows what exactly conquered a simple rural guy with a bright, informal girl.

The pseudonym Elka was born by itself back in school years, when eleven-year-old Lisa was called that by her school friends. Now the girl almost never responds to her real passport name Elizaveta.

Height, weight, age. How old is Elka (singer)?

Fans often want to know what physical characteristics their idol has. Fans who demand information about the approximate height, weight, and age of Elka are no exception.

The tree was born in 1982, making her 34 years old. At this age, she managed to achieve a lot, much more than her artistic colleagues. Zodiac sign talented singer Cancer, and eastern horoscope- dog.

The Christmas tree looks at its fans from a height of one meter and sixty-two centimeters. The girl weighs quite a bit for her height - 51 kilograms.

Elizaveta Valdemarovna Ivantsiv is a famous Ukrainian and Russian singer, who is known under the unusual pseudonym Elka. She's got enough interesting surname. Performs in pop and rock styles, and has also tried herself as a performer alternative music. Elka's nationality is Russian-Ukrainian.

She constantly visited music festivals international level, loved rap and soul music.

After school I studied at music school in vocal class. Lisa was unable to finish it because of the thought that teachers considered her mediocrity. After six months of study, the girl expelled herself so as not to be kicked out. Perhaps this was due to the extravagant appearance of the future singer, because she had tattoos and piercings, wore very bright makeup and even shaved her head bald.

Later talented girl performed on stage with local musical groups, played in KVN, and also worked as a dishwasher in a cafe. There was a catastrophic lack of money to live on, so Elka grabbed every opportunity to earn extra money.

In the nineties, the talented girl performed as part of the B&B group, however, only as a backing vocalist. Later biography Elki became acquainted with the rapper SHEFF, who in 2004 began producing the future star. She performed for the first time on the capital stage at a concert in memory of Micah.

CHEF invited Elka to sign a contract with him, but suggested changing his stage name to his usual name. The girl resolutely refused and began performing under her fictitious name.

Elka made the right decision, because the first one was already released in 2005 solo album"City of Deception", which topped the charts. The young singer was named the discovery of the year.

After this, the song “Student Girl” and the solo album “Shadows” brought success, which made the singer even more popular. And already in 2007, Elka’s first video album was released, which contained clips in the style of heavy and guitar R&B.

2009 gave us the magnificent hits “Dreams” and “Your Words”, which were not included in Yolka’s fourth disc due to the fact that her contract with Vlad Valov had ended.

The girl collaborated with Alena Mikhailova and Liana Meladze. In 2010 she appeared on Ukrainian television as a judge on the television show “X Factor”.

To the creativity of Yolka recent years big influence provided by Pugacheva, after an interview with whom she began to sing the most positive songs in pop style. The woman changed her shocking style to a more feminine version.

Personal life of Elka (singer)

Like many stars national stage, Elka’s personal life is under an unofficial press ban. The girl only jokes that she lives with her beloved cat.

When Lisa played in the KVN team “Ward No. 6”, she met with its captain Vasily Krainyai. The moment the girl moved to Moscow and the breakup of a seven-year relationship was very difficult for the guy.

The star has many male fans, and even more work and plans for the future. She admits that she simply does not have time to improve her personal life, and she broke up with her loved one and business partner.

Elka's ex-husband (singer) - Sergei Astakhov

Lisa met her beloved person in her youth, but they did not experience any feelings for each other. The girl believed that this meeting was a banal holiday romance that would take place in short time. Romantic relationship began six years later, when fate brought the young people together again.

The couple lived only on Elizabeth’s earnings, and after they officially got married in 2010, the guy with light hand his wife found a prestigious job. Ex-husband Elki - Sergei Astakhov - worked as an administrator for the singer for a long time.

However, Sergei earned little, so the couple traveled and built a house with the girl’s money. Elka was very tired of carrying a cart of financial problems alone. Six years after the wedding, she fired her husband from his position as an administrator and filed for divorce. Strong family were destroyed by everyday problems, lack of funds and lack of finances to build a cottage.

Many of Elka’s acquaintances openly call Sergei Astakhov a gigolo, whom the singer fully supported. Now the girl has abandoned her personal life and plunged headlong into work.

However, some of Elka's friends claim that the break in this relationship is temporary, since she is madly in love with her husband.

Children of the Christmas tree. Is the singer pregnant? From whom? When to give birth?

Elka’s children are not even present in the project, because she has not yet found the man with whom she would like to have a baby.

Elka showed herself not only to be a strict member of the jury, but also a kind, caring and understanding mother for the kids. So far, Elka’s pregnancy is hidden from the public.

On her Instagram, Elka never tires of admiring talented children who deserve to be taken into the family.

Like most Russian pop stars, Elka claims that she is calm about plastic surgery, but she has never had it done. But on dubious sites on the Internet you can find photos of Elka before and after plastic surgery, which are not confirmed by facts.

The singer emphasizes in her interviews that the fashion for plastic surgery is long gone, so she definitely won’t “do” plump lips or huge breasts for herself.
