Nastya herself spoke about her childhood: “My mother is a singer, and from childhood I was privy to the intricacies of music. At the age of three I didn’t even get to the piano, but I already knew musical notation. She sang songs before she learned to speak. I had the childhood of a travel frog. Since my birth, my mother tried to give me as much knowledge and skills as possible. From the age of five I lived in France. But I didn’t like it there, and my mother sent me to Italy. Then, for seven years, I lived in Naples every year for six months. This period of life is very important for me. I found my second parents, brothers and sisters."

She studied alternately in Italy and in Kyiv. In Naples, she was mistaken for an Italian - because she was dark and curly with brown eyes. In addition, she is very expressive and emotional by temperament. “Sometimes, to prove that I was not Italian, I had to speak several succinct phrases in Ukrainian or Russian. I got so used to their customs and conversations that, returning home, I continued to talk and swear like an Italian,” she recalled.

According to Nastya, her family did not live well: “When I was in the second or third grade, there were financial problems in the family. I remember in the winter I had nothing to buy a jacket with, and my relatives gave warm clothes to the boy, which were also too big for me. And the children are very cruel, they became laugh at me!".

WITH early childhood under the influence of her parents she began to study vocals, at the age of 6 she went to music school in piano, which she graduated at the age of 14. Her first piece on the piano was the song “A Grasshopper Sat in the Grass.”

Personal life of Nastya Kamensky:

Nastya Kamenskikh really doesn’t like to talk about her personal life. As a rule, she laughs it off or keeps silent about such questions from journalists, or even reacts aggressively.

But she never denied one of her novels - with Vladimir Dyatlov, a native of Nikolaev (who, it should be noted, later grew into a businessman and politician).

Nastya herself denies her infidelities: “While I was in a relationship with the Nikolaev guy, I was faithful only to him. This, of course, was not easy. I constantly threw hysterics, until one day my father came up to me with the words: “Madam, for God’s sake, could you find yourself a man in Kyiv?!” Because mom and I can’t stand it anymore!”, she told reporters.
