The star project Potap and Nastya Kamensky broke up. Nastya Kamenskikh - biography and personal life

The oligarchs offered a million dollars for a night with the singer

“Chips, chicks, lavender”, “Pimple-pimples”, “Bankers are misers, we are bankrupt” - their melodic choruses hit the heart! That's why their records were listened to to death. They introduced a new season - “crazy spring” and came up with a new style- “collective farm glamor”. IN exclusive interview“POTAP and NASTYA” told Express newspaper about their preferences in sex and the end of the world.

- Do things happen between you? creative process disagreements?
Potap: I'm a producer. Thanks to my status, the last word will always be behind me. On the other hand, as an artist, I myself understand each of my charges well. Now there are no conflicts, although previously they arose over trifles. There are disagreements due to fatigue, misunderstanding and complexity of characters. The fact is that I, Nastya and the participants in my other production project of the group “Time and Glass”, Positive and Nadya, are all Taurus by zodiac sign. It’s not easy for me to lead this herd of bulls (laughs). But Taurus still have positive trait: they light up like matches, but go away very quickly.
Nastya: Potap is the boss, but I am very glad that he consults with me on issues related to creativity. True, sometimes my reaction is too emotional. But we always make peace, because we are connected by the love of music and the huge number of our fans.
- What will you surprise your fans with in the near future, besides the concert in Moscow at the Arena club on March 31?
Potap: There will be surprises - I always cook great amount extraordinary tricks, of which there will be a lot at the concert in Moscow. And, definitely, our new singles and videos will be so unexpected and different from the previous ones that they will not leave any listener or viewer indifferent!

Sex with perversions

- You know that sex is just rushing out of both of you. What kind of sex do you prefer?
Potap: I love varied, bright, unusual, interesting sex, ranging from role playing games and ending with all sorts of mild perversions. And as the rap master Snoop Dogg bequeathed to us, “Do doggy style!”
Nastya: I prefer everything that can satisfy such a fiery, ardent, temperamental brunette like me.
- Do you remember your first sex?
Potap: Unfortunately, I don’t remember my feelings very well. I don't think he impressed me that much. But the main thing is that I remember who it was with and where.
Nastya: Of course, like every girl, I remember my first sex, but I won’t tell you the details.
- The most crazy sex of your life...
Potap: I think he's ahead. But when I just started dating my future wife Ira, we had sex absolutely everywhere: for example, at a friend’s wedding, in restaurant toilets.
Nastya: This will probably be the first time I have sex like this wedding night with my future husband.
-Are you going to get married? Have you found the man of your dreams? Who is he?
Nastya: On this moment The only beloved man in my life is my dad. Now I don’t want to get married, and I’m in no hurry to do so. The man of my dreams will one day find me on his own.
- What should a man be like to be chosen as a husband by Nastya Kamenskikh herself?
Nastya: The probability of falling in love does not depend on small parts and a specific set of certain character traits, and even more so from external data and financial situation. I like purposeful and original guys, most importantly, promising ones. It’s unlikely that my chosen one will be a guy who wants to sit in a village and twirl the tails of cows all his life, or a super-successful billionaire who simply doesn’t know who else to buy for his collection.
- By the way, which one is the best? large sum, which these billionaires offered for an evening/night with you?
Potap: They didn't offer me more than $200,000. He always refused simply and directly - he laughed, asked us not to do any more nonsense and explained that we earn money in a different way.
Nastya:$1,000,000. Thank God, Potap always helps to turn off these crazy moneybags.
- Was there the most romantic date night in your life that you will remember for the rest of your life?
Nastya: Fortunately, I had a lot of beautiful, unforgettable romantic dates, and I can’t single out just one.
Potap: And I will remember the date with my wife for the rest of my life. Irina Gorova, who that evening gave me a pregnancy test in a bag with a positive result.
- I wonder what you have to do to make your wife whisper: “You are a genius!” Let's make another baby! "
Potap: Ira calls me a genius every day. But to wait for her to propose a child, perhaps, time will still pass.
- Have you already bought everything for yourself or are you dreaming of something else?
Potap: All my dreams are connected primarily with the future of my children – Natasha and Andryusha. I dream that they will become good people and were happy.
Nastya: As long as I live, I will have new goals and desires. Even at 80 years old I will want to learn something interesting.
- What is the most big disappointment in your life and how did you deal with it?
Potap: I didn't have that. The only thing is, at one point I realized that show business was not quite what I imagined it to be. Close friends helped me cope with this, primarily Ira. I stepped over myself and moved on.
Nastya: Fortunately, big disappointments did not have. I a kind person, it is thanks to my good attitude towards all people that I have no enemies or envy towards anyone.

Attraction of the sexes

Guys, have you already understood from the height of your years how women differ from men? Or is there still something unknown?
Potap: Women are closer to the animal world, they give in more to instincts and feelings, they remind me of the feline group. And men are more logical and pragmatic, although they immediately become sheep when they meet a woman (laughs). In general, women are cooler than men: their orgasms are ten times stronger, and they fight harder. The only thing left for the stronger sex is to admit that women are cooler. Of course, every representative of the fair sex is a mystery, a mystery that defies explanation and logic. There is a proverb: when you make a plan to rob a bank, you calculate every second and every millimeter, but as soon as one woman appears, everything goes to pieces. I am one of those men who have not understood and will never fully understand women, but will never cease to admire them.
Nastya: There is an insane amount of beautiful women in Ukraine. I would really like to become a man so I can try to go to the toilet like they do and pamper myself with charming young ladies. But men will always be a mystery to me, because we are very different creatures. I would like to understand them at least one percent in order to better understand my future husband in some things that wives usually do not understand.
- What irritates you most about dating the opposite sex?
Potap: Sometimes even things that you usually like get annoying. All positive traits at one moment they can turn into the opposite. I creative person from another planet and I really don’t like it when they “land me on earth”. And women love attention and often take me away from the worlds from which I draw my inspiration.
Nastya: Lately I have become independent: I do everything alone, I achieve everything on my own. Many modern women become very strong. In this regard, I especially often notice that men have greatly relaxed their buns and gone crazy with happiness. Therefore, any manifestation of male weakness is most annoying.
- You have a song about “summer and the cancellation of the end of the world.” And if they knew for sure that he would be there in a month, what would they devote the remaining time of their life to?
Potap: I would be doing the same thing I’ve been doing all my life, only in a condensed version. I saw all my relatives, wrote songs, and closer to the end of the world I would cancel all concerts and spend all the time with my family.
Nastya: I would try to escape from the chaos that will happen on the streets. And, of course, I would spend as much time as possible with the people closest to me - family and friends.
- And if the end of the world comes, and after it there will be only one race left - men. Potap, who would you choose as your wife?
Potap: I would choose a dolphin as my wife and start building spaceship to fly off into the galaxy in search of some alien.
- What if there was only one race left - women. Nastya, who would you choose as your husband?
Nastya: I would have died that very second. Nothing happens without men, they are the best cushions for eliminating nerves, and the most best organ in the world - male. I don’t know how girls become lesbians, I couldn’t live without men!
- We’re all talking about something sad and sad... Let’s hope that the end of the world will not come after all and we will all live to see retirement. What will you do in your old age?
Potap: I will never retire at all and will always do what I love - write music and shoot videos.
Nastya: I would live somewhere in the Caribbean, with palm trees growing around me and the sound of Spanish, knit socks and learn Japanese.

Nastya took up losing weight together with Potap, and even shared a miracle recipe with her fans. In a short time, Potap noticeably lost weight, and Nastya began to look even slimmer than at the beginning of her career.

Nastya’s diet is more of a system than a diet. Kamenskikh says that over the years she realized: excess weight- the problem is not only from the sphere of eating habits! This includes sports, psychology, and much more. What principles does the celebrity adhere to?

1. Fractional meals. Nastya tries to eat little by little every 3 hours. He says that the hardest thing to stick to is a schedule on tour. But if you set a goal, nothing is impossible! The minimum is five meals a day, at the same time every day.

2. Set specific goals. It’s simply impossible to lose weight, the singer believes. To lose weight, you need to clearly know why you need it.

"I needed to get into Evening Dress, and the thought of this helped me run for 20 minutes. When I decided to overcome the half-hour barrier, I only thought about my cherished dream. Set yourself a clear goal. This should not just be a number on the scale, but something for which you want to change,” shares Kamenskikh.

3. Breakfast is oatmeal. This is a simple rule. With fruits, cream, nuts - it doesn’t matter. Definitely this porridge.

4. Food must be fresh. Nastya admits: her diet is troublesome. But the result is noticeable immediately! The singer prepares herself breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. It takes, according to her, about an hour and a half.

5. Recipe for a fasting day from Nastya Kamenskikh:

“This should be done once a week, preferably when you are resting. Boil 6 eggs and buy 3 grapefruits. You get up at 7-8 in the morning, eat two boiled proteins, and 2 hours later - grapefruit. Then again, two hours later, eat two squirrels and again a grapefruit, and again two squirrels and a grapefruit. And of course, a lot of water. You cannot drink coffee or tea. The results are simply amazing. Try it, and you won’t regret it.”

6. Psychology. According to the singer, before losing weight, you need to solve your problems “in your head.”

“If a person eats a lot and can’t get enough, it means he has psychological problems. It’s as if he’s building a fortress of fat around himself so that they can’t get to him and hurt him,” the singer is convinced.

What everyone has been waiting for for so long has come true. On November 2, Nastya Kamenskikh will present the first single and video “#this is my night” as part of her own solo project NK.

The stage name - NK - was not chosen by chance. According to her, this is a key element of her philosophy, synonymous with success, talent, inspiration and motivation. Viewers will see new Nastya- NK will appear before fans in a completely different creative role, which reflects the singer’s principles: look to the future, be on the wave modern trends, set the rhythm, explode dance floors with crazy energy and give music that knows no boundaries.

The starting point of Nastya Kamenskikh’s own solo project will be the single “#this is my night”, recorded in the style of Future Pop, which will reveal new image Nastya is a cheerful, open, energetic and modern girl.

“I really love the night, and it’s no coincidence that my first solo song got exactly that name. “#thisismynight” is about the most long-awaited time of the day, in which the whole essence of female nature is revealed. Night is a time of secrets and the beginning of something new. So I'm starting mine new chapter in creativity",

Nastya Kamenskikh admits.

In the new video, which was shot by the famous music video director Alan Badoev, NK will appear before the audience in the image of a Cuban beauty, whose obstinate disposition does not allow her to hide her emotions.

“I was always credited with some kind of foreign roots, given my appearance. I myself feel like a cosmopolitan girl. After all, I was born in Ukraine, grew up in Italy, long time lived and performed in the States, visited almost the whole world on tour. And in every country, in every mentality, I found something interesting and absorbed it into myself. Now, having such a colossal creative and life experience, I'm launching NK - music that has no boundaries"

In addition, Nastya shares her experience as a judge and mentor on the X Factor show. Now, without stopping there, Kamenskikh creates his own solo project- NK.

Family and childhood of Nastya Kamensky

“I had the childhood of a frog traveler,” Nastya recalled with warmth. At an age when many children cannot go to the store on their own to buy bread, she has already visited abroad, unaccompanied by her parents. Thanks to an international exchange program for preschoolers, five-year-old Nastya lived for some time in France, where she, however, did not really like it, so the girl soon went to Italy, to Naples. There she made loyal friends and developed warm relationships with her host family, so for the next seven years she returned to them on the Apennine Peninsula every year for six months.

But Nastya always remembered that a loving family was waiting for her at home, in Ukraine. Although her parents did not live well at that time, they did everything possible to ensure that the girl developed her talents without hindrance. At the age of six, Nastya was enrolled in a music school, where, on the advice of her parents, she began taking vocal lessons. Another serious hobby of the baby is ballet, which she studied professionally for 8 years. Subsequently, a passion for tennis was added to his creative hobbies. And Nastya successfully combined all this with her studies at gymnasium No. 56.

The singer is confident that she owes her success entirely to her parents, who taught her strict discipline and instilled in her the ability to properly manage her time.

After graduating from school, the future celebrity entered the economics department of the Ukrainian-American Humanitarian Institute (Ukrainian branch of the Wisconsin International University), choosing the specialty “Foreign Economic Activity”.

Potap and Nastya: the beginning

The duet “Potap and Nastya” was born shortly after these events, in 2006, when an ambitious young man Alexey Potapenko decided to create a revolutionary project in the style of “folk r’n’b”, which would bring Ukrainian music scene to a whole new level. He took on the responsibilities of a producer, a vocalist, a songwriter, a music video director, and a screenwriter... All that was needed was a spectacular, beautiful girl with outstanding vocal abilities for backing up. Friends from the music business recommended that he meet with Nastya.

“I can’t say that I liked her right away,” Potap later told reporters. And when they started recording the first compositions, the situation worsened - the singer encountered Nastya’s stony character. Judging by numerous interviews, during the first three years this couple simply hated each other off stage, but this did not stop them from producing hits in a clip, one after another.

The first composition that blew up the charts was the song “Without Love,” for which a video was shot with a fair amount of shockingness and humor. “I pretend to be a glamorous fool, Potap portrays a pretentious bastard,” Nastya said about the style of their duet.

Potap and Nastya – “Without Love” (2006)

In 2007, the guys won the III Grand Prix All-Russian competition young performers "5 stars". Over the course of three days, Potap and Nastya performed three songs from the stage (“Khutorok”, “And in our yard” and their own composition “Not a couple”), and each time Joseph Kobzon, Larisa Dolina, Nadezhda Babkina and Igor Matvienko sat on the jury awarded them the highest scores.

In 2008, Potap and Nastya’s first album was released, entitled after their main hit – “Not a Couple”. And at the end of 2009, the duo released the album “Don’t Love My Brains.” Already a very solid army of fans was waiting for incendiary new products: “Chips, Chicks, Lavandos”, “Call Your Zae”, “On the RaEne”, “Edge of My River”, “Don’t Love My Brains”.

The song and video “Na raEne” became incredibly popular outside of Ukraine. In the video, Nastya Kamenskikh appeared in scandalous make-up famous singer Amy Winehouse, right down to the tattoos of naked girls, which the press for some reason called "lesbian". After this, Nastya was bombarded with a barrage of questions concerning her sexual orientation, to which the singer replied that she likes everything beautiful and, of course, beautiful women: beauties cannot evoke any other feelings in her except admiration.

The same “Plague Spring” was included there, as well as other hits, such as the compositions “RuRuRu”, “Everything in a Bunch”, “Together”, “Flying Away” and “Flying Away”.

In 2015, as part of the new album “Shield and Ball,” Potap and Nastya recorded a joint composition with the “queen of Russian folk r’n’b” Bianca. The “Dog Style” video was very provocative, as it was intended: “This is not an ambiguous hint, but a direct and frank song-dance that illustrates the dreams of any man,” the musicians said. Nastya Kamenskikh prepared for filming the video for 11 months, training three times a week with a personal choreographer.

As for new creativity, in 2016 the tandem released a video for the song “Umama”, which, unlike the usual incendiary videos, turned out to be heart-warming. The musicians told the story of a little girl growing up, time after time returning to the only place where loving people are waiting for her and will help solve all her problems - to the kitchen of her father’s house.

In a project where many famous artists performed, the creative tandem supported Ulyana Rudakova. According to the results of the competition, the Nastya-Potap-Ulyana team won by a large margin from the other participants.

As the artists themselves said, the final number was staged during breaks between flights and concerts, and besides, the performance was never rehearsed. It was invented by Potap: a trio dressed as Ninja Turtles depicted the struggle of the rest of the show participants for victory. The jury did not support the team's idea and rated their performance extremely low. However, in the end the trio still won.

In 2010, Nastya, together with Maria Berseneva, participated in the show project “Star+Star” on the “1+1” channel. Their couple was the favorite and decoration of the show until the last moment.

Nastya Kamenskikh managed to try her hand at modeling. True, she decided to become a fashion model not for the sake of money and fame, but for the sake of self-interest. The girl did not like walking on the catwalk, because the kitchen of the modeling business shocked her. Nastya saw only envy and intrigue in the modeling behind the scenes, and after several appearances on stage as a model, the girl left the “cruel” business.

However, the girl happily poses in front of the cameras. Of course, Nastya has been recognized more than once as the most beautiful woman in Ukraine. The singer’s photographs often adorn the covers of the most popular glossy publications. Her account includes candid photo shoots for Playboy, MAXIM and XXL magazines.

On that fateful day, the girl, along with her lover, 19-year-old Vladimir, was going to celebrate the birthday of his younger sister Marusya - she was turning 15. Her parents were in the car with them young man, as well as second sister Sonya.

They were driving slowly along the highway when suddenly the car shook. The next thing Nastya saw was blue sky, then grass, and again the sky... After the fifth circle, the girl lost consciousness.

When she woke up, she did not immediately understand where she was and what had happened. She lowered her gaze and became numb with horror - her leg was torn to the bone. Looking around, she saw a mangled car and motionless bodies. The only one left standing was Vladimir. Despite his young age, he behaved like a real man. First of all, he performed artificial respiration on Sonya (as it later turned out, he saved her - the girl was not breathing and every minute could have been fatal). But neither the guy nor the doctors who arrived at the scene of the disaster had time to save the parents and Marusya... For Nastya, this tragic date, June 8, became her second birthday, because she miraculously remained alive. As a reminder of the accident, Nastya has a scar on her leg, stretching from her foot to her knee.

In July 2016, the girl faced another test. The singer was never into extreme sports, but still decided to experience new sensations by jumping with a parachute. He didn't open up. Fortunately, Nastya flew in tandem with an instructor, who saved the situation. They flew down using a reserve parachute, but the fall was still too fast. At some point, the thought even flew through Nastya’s head: “I won’t survive!”

As a result of the fall, Nastya injured her leg. The beauty was quickly taken to the hospital and operated on. Soon she posted a photo of herself on Instagram: smiling widely, she was lying in a hospital room with a bandaged leg. “Now I have a third birthday,” the girl joked sadly.

One day, one of the singer’s ardent fans created a fake page for Nastya Kamenskikh on the social network VKontakte, and even posted there photographs of some baby with the caption “My daughter Margarita. She’s already 2 months old.” In fact, Nastya Kamensky does not have children yet, but motherhood plays an important part in her plans: “I dream about children very often. There is love in my life now, but I have already realized that personal things need to be protected. I'll talk about it when I'm ready. And I’m sure: the Universe will send me children when the time comes.”
