Singer Elka as a child

The place where the singer is from is Uzhgorod in Ukraine. Her birthday is July 2, 1982, she is now 36 years old. Elizabeth is Ukrainian by nationality.
With a height of 162 centimeters, Lisa weighs 51 kilograms. Attractive and bright external features and a beautiful voice made Elka one of the most sought-after singers on the domestic stage.

Childhood and youth

In Uzhgorod, where the girl was born, many knew who she was already from the age of 14.

At that time she participated in the KVN team “Ward No. 6”. Elka often attended various music festivals, improving her musical skills and knowledge. In her youth, she was fond of soul and rap styles.

After graduating from school, the girl entered a music school, but studied there for only six months. The singer said that her tastes and preferences did not coincide with the teachers’ rules. She was very extraordinary, constantly experimenting with her appearance, applying tattoos, bright and catchy makeup, and getting piercings. At one time she walked bald, without being embarrassed at all.

Today, few people know the real name of the singer, since she herself rarely responds to her passport name. The nickname “Yolka” appeared in childhood. When she was 11 years old, a friend once called her that, after which all her friends and even her mother got used to the nickname.

Love for music

The path to the stage at Yolka was thorny and difficult. The singer began her musical career by participating in the group “B&B”, which existed in the mid-90s. The group's repertoire included Russian-language rap tracks; it was little known and not popular.

A great desire to conquer the stage brought the group to Moscow for the RAP MUSIC festival in the early 2000s. Here they took one of the prizes and were noticed by the famous producer and rapper SHEFF (Vladislav Vadimovich Valov).

However, no fateful changes occurred then, and Elka returned to her hometown, deciding to end music. She got a job as a dishwasher, and then as a barista at a local cafe.

After 3 years, a ticket to Moscow was sent to her name from the company of Vladislav Valov. Arriving in the capital, she sang the song “Bitch-Love” at a concert dedicated to the memory of Micah.

After this, the singer performed a musical composition at the Megahouse rock festival.

Valov noticed that Elka sings with particular ease, and the sound of her voice is unusual. Soon they signed a contract. Despite Vladislav’s persuasion to change her pseudonym Elka to Elizaveta Ivantsiv, the singer decided to keep it.

Creation

The singer's first steps immediately brought her success and popularity. Elka’s talent and vocal abilities were discussed in the media and they predicted a great future for her. The audience noted the original style of singing, memorable intonations and powerful expression of performance.

At concerts, Elka most often sings live, fully experiencing every emotion, mixing tracks in different configurations.

Songs

After concluding a contract with Valov, the singer’s busy work began. In 2005, the first debut album “City of Deception” appeared. The tracks that were performed were released under the 100PRO label.

Fans of Yolka’s work heard songs of different styles: from rock to hip-hop. The singer called the style of music “heavy guitar R&B. In the same year, she became a nominee for the MTV RMA awards in the “Best Rap” category. The album included the first songs “Girl in a Peugeot” and “Good Mood”.

The following year, Yelka’s hit “Student Girl” appeared in the Russian radio chart in 17th place, after which the second album “Shadows” was released.

For the track “Handsome Boy” in 2007, the singer was awarded the Golden Gramophone award. And the very next year she recorded her third album, “This Magnificent World.”

Which will be the topic of discussion in this article, she began to show an aptitude for music as a child. However, fate played with her, and for some time it seemed to Elka that her dream of becoming a singer was unrealistic. Now she is a successful artist, touring not only in the CIS countries, but also abroad. Millions love her, hundreds criticize her, but no one is indifferent to her work.

Christmas tree: biography of the artist. Stage name

The singer's real name is Ivantsiv Elizaveta Valdemarovna. In her youth, her best friend once called her Christmas tree, and the new name stuck so well that some girls I knew didn’t even know what her real name was. And even the future singer’s father was offended when relatives sometimes forgot his daughter’s name. Elka was born on July 2, 1982 in Uzhgorod (a city in western Ukraine). The girl's family was musical - her father collected jazz music, her mother played three instruments, and her grandparents sang in a folk choir. Elka followed in their footsteps - first she sang in the school choir, then she developed her talents by attending a vocal club. For some time she played in the KVN team and performed backing vocals for the rap group “V&V”. And in 2001, she tried her hand at being a solo artist in rap music. Her performance at the festival was noted for himself (already a successful producer at that time), and three years later he remembered the talented girl and offered cooperation. Elka was very surprised by the offer, as she had already lost hope that her dream would ever come true, and got a job as a waitress in a restaurant.

Intense but fruitful work began. The first song performed by Elka in collaboration with Valov was “The words were spoken by you.” In 2004, she performed the song “Bitch-Love” at an evening in memory of Micah, after which the singer gained her first fans and critics. Then one of her most successful songs, “City of Deception,” was released, which became the beginning of an album released in the fall of 2005. All subsequent compositions and albums of the singer increased the number of her fans. The Christmas tree has been repeatedly awarded the Muz-TV and Golden Gramophone awards.

Christmas tree: biography. Turning point

One day, the singer was invited by Alla Pugacheva herself to a program broadcast on Radio Alla. Elka said that she occupies her own small niche and does not particularly strive for more. Pugacheva gave an incentive to the young performer by asking where she would invite her if she wanted to come to her concert or come for a visit. Elka was very hurt by this, the interview with the Diva herself pushed her to new victories.

Christmas tree: biography. Personal life

The singer prefers not to let anyone in on her life behind the scenes, especially journalists. She believes that the personal should always remain behind the scenes, otherwise it ceases to be so. However, journalists know their business. Despite the fact that the singer carefully hid her life partner, they managed to find out his name. When the information was made public, many were surprised, because no one even knew that she was married.

Married Tree: biography

The singer’s husband is Sergei Astakhov, who is now the singer’s administrator. They say that they have a great relationship and Elka is very happy in her personal life.

Childhood and youth

Elka (the singer’s real name is Elizaveta Valdemarovna Ivantsiv) was born on July 2, 1982 in Uzhgorod (Ukrainian SSR, USSR, now Ukraine) into a creative family.

Lisa’s dad, Valdemar Mironovich Ivantsiv, collected music records, mainly jazz, and her mother, Marina Eduardovna Lyashenko, played music herself on various instruments.

The girl discovered a craving for creativity early on; already in childhood, her parents enrolled her in a choir, and a little later, in a vocal club.

Christmas tree in childhood with dad

Lisa grew up, her musical preferences changed, which often happens among teenagers looking for themselves and their place in the sun, and at some point the girl became interested in soul.

At the same time, young Lisa tried herself on stage and in another capacity - as an actress, she played in the school KVN team.

After graduating from secondary school, the girl decided to continue studying creativity at a local music school, but left six months later - the teachers did not accept the artist’s passion for fashion trends, they also did not like Lisa’s bright appearance.

By the way, it was because of him that a girl in her teens began to be called Elka. The nickname stuck, and after her friends, Lisa’s parents began calling her that name.

Early life and first steps in music

The girl took her first steps on the professional music scene in the mid-1990s, when she got a job as a backing vocalist in the B&B group, which performed music in rap and R’n’B styles.

Christmas tree in youth

In 2001, the team decided that the time had come to conquer Moscow, and Elka went to the Russian capital together with her stage colleagues. That same year, the guys won a prize at a rap music festival, where they were noticed by producer Vladislav Valov.

However, according to data from open sources, for some reason Valov contacted Elka only a few years later, when she no longer sang in this group. Moreover, by that time the girl had left Moscow and had nothing to do with music at all.

Later, Elka recalled that she decided that this call was a prank, but the girl was sent a ticket to the capital, and now she was already standing on the Moscow stage and performing Micah’s song at a concert dedicated to his memory.

Soon after this, Valov, also known as Sheff, signed a contract with the aspiring singer. Not without long disputes, but they still agree that Lisa will be engaged in creativity under the pseudonym “Yelka”.

In 2005, the singer’s debut album “City of Deception” was released, many of the songs from which became hits. The craving for experimentation from childhood is still evident here, and Valov fully supports this passion of Elka. It was he who wrote the music for the diverse tracks of her first album.

The Moscow public and critics were favorable to the creative endeavors of the young artist; she was called the discovery of the year and the hope of pop music.

In the same year, the girl presented several singles, and in 2006, a new album, “Shadows.” This doesn’t always happen with beginning musicians, but this is exactly what happened to Elka: the singer’s second album, in general, repeated the success of her debut disc and even brought her her first Golden Gramophone. By the way, Valov wrote the songs again.

Christmas tree in the image

Vlad also authored compositions from the artist’s third album, “This Magnificent World” (2008). There were experiments on this record, but it was still clear that Elka was growing up and changes were coming in her world. The assumptions were confirmed - soon the singer decided to change her style and ended her collaboration with Valov.

New label and blossoming career

The singer began to expand her musical horizons together with the Velvet Music company. In 2011, her fourth album was released with the self-explanatory title “The Dots Are Placed.” Listeners got to know Elka from a new side - still more as a performer of popular rather than modern music.

The most famous compositions of that time were the songs “Provence” and “About You”, which brought the girl prestigious awards - Golden Gramophone and Sound Track statuettes and an award from the RU TV channel.

On the wave of success, Elka goes on her first large and long tour to the cities and villages of Russia, and almost everywhere a sell-out awaits her.

However, Elka does not forget about direct creativity, but since there is so far too little time for it, instead of recording a new album, the singer limits herself to releasing the collection “Unreal Love” (2014), which includes old, but previously unreleased songs.

In addition, during the tour and immediately after it, Elka records several successful singles that have received various awards, including a duet with “Burito”.

In 2015, the singer released the long-awaited fifth album “#Heaven”. The artist explains this name by the fact that she likes to publish pictures of the sky on social networks, accompanying them with the appropriate hashtag.

The songs from the record were popular with listeners and brought Elka various awards. So, in 2015, the artist won the “Song of the Year”, “Golden Gramophone”, Big Love Show, Tophit Awards and RU TV awards.

Recognition and the present

In 2016, the singer presented the song “Warming Happiness” to the public and received the next Golden Gramophone and the RU TV award.

Christmas tree now

In 2017, in order to consolidate her success and reach a new level, Elka gives a big solo concert, one might say that it is significant for her and her work. The performance took place at a large and popular venue - Crocus City Hall in Moscow.

Elka is not just one singer, but a whole group of musicians. Her band includes, inter alia, a keyboard player, a drummer, guitarists, a percussionist, a saxophonist and a DJ.

In addition to the awards that we have already written about, at various times Elka became the winner of such awards as “Red Star”, Europa Plus Live, Russian Music Awards and Glamor Awards.

Film and television

The singer's songs are often soundtracks to various film projects - both feature films and television series.

For example, in 2012, the composition “I Want” became the soundtrack to the film “Love with an Accent,” and in 2015, the song “The Sea Inside” was chosen as the title song of the film “Without Borders.”

Moreover, Elka herself plays in scenes of films or voices characters in cartoons. So, in 2005, the singer dubbed the main character of the cartoon “The True Story of Red Cap” for Russian distribution.

In 2012, Elka played in an episode of the comedy “Gentlemen, Good Luck!”, and in 2013 she appeared on television in the popular project “SASHATANYA” and in the TV series “The Process.”

In 2014, the artist played herself in the film “A Gift with Character”; she could also be seen in an episode in the mini-series “Heat”. In 2015, Elka again made a cameo appearance in the film “About Love.”

However, Lisa can be seen not only in these projects, but she is also a frequent guest on television and participates in programs both as a performer and as a mentor.

For example, in 2010, Elka became one of the jury members of the Ukrainian version of the popular vocal show “X-Factor”, and at various times appeared, in particular, in such shows as “Big Difference”, “Evening Urgant”, “Ural Dumplings” and “ Spotlightperishilton” and “Knocking on the star.”

Personal life What little is known about is the personal life of the singer Yolka. The fact is that the girl prefers not to advertise it. Sometimes rumors about this side of Lisa’s life get into the press, but in most cases the girl does not comment on them.

However, according to journalists from a number of publications, the artist is married, and her chosen one has nothing to do with the social scene. The media also mention the name of Elka's husband - Sergei Astakhov. Let us repeat, the singer does not react to such statements, although she is very active on social networks. Speaking of which, Elka often writes about creativity, publishes her thoughts about literally everything in the world, shares photographs of what surrounds her, but very rarely writes about personal things.

One of these posts was memories of dad. Lisa literally said the following: “Two weeks before my thirtieth birthday, I left the stage and found out that my dad had died. I remember this day and the next two every minute. I very often catch his traits in the people I love. I know for sure that he is proud of me.”

In addition, Lisa loves animals and periodically encourages her Instagram followers to take care of a dog or cat. The fact is that the singer supports funds that help homeless animals find owners.

Christmas tree with kittens

In one of her posts, Elka admitted: “As a child, I dreamed that when I grew up, my dad would build me a big house where I could bring all the stray animals.”

Yolka is a Ukrainian and Russian singer and actress performing in the genres of R"n"B, reggae and pop. The popularity of the Christmas tree was brought by the hits “Handsome Boy”, “Provence”, “Near You”, “On a Big Balloon”, “Warming Happiness”.

Childhood and youth

Yolka (stage name of Elizaveta Valdemarovna Ivantsiv) was born on June 2, 1982 in the Ukrainian town of Uzhgorod into a musical family. Elizaveta’s father is a collector of jazz music, her mother plays three instruments, and her grandmother and grandfather once performed in the Transcarpathian folk choir.


Lisa began studying music at school - the girl sang in the choir, then began performing in a vocal group at the Palace of Pioneers. Lisa achieved a certain popularity by playing for the school and then the city KVN team.


They started calling Lisa Yolka when she was about 11 years old, at the suggestion of one of her friends, although for some reason - either because of her prickly character, or because of her bright outfits - the singer herself refuses to comment. However, now even her own mother most often calls her that.

After school, Yolka studied at a music school for some time, but after several courses she left due to poor relations with teachers.

I had problems with everyone and everyone with me. And after six months I just left there, thinking: “Let me quickly kick myself out before they ask me.”

Music career

In the mid-90s, Lisa became a backing vocalist in the local band B&B. A few years later, the group broke up and the girl stopped performing on stage. In 2001, at the Rap Music festival, where Elka was still performing with “B&B”, she was noticed by the leader of the Bad Balance group Vlad Valov. Later, Elka received a call from Vlad’s agency and was invited to the Russian capital. At that time, Lisa had almost given up the idea of ​​becoming a singer and calmly worked as a waitress, but she grabbed her luck by the tail.


One of Yolka’s first songs, “The words were spoken by you,” was included in the collection of female rap and R"n"B "Girls Attack." Afterwards the song “City of Deception” was released, which became her first hit. Yolka’s first album, “City of Deception,” was released in the fall of 2005. Soon the singer became a nominee for the MTV RMA Award in the “Best Rap” category.


Singles from the debut album - “Good Mood” and “Girl in a Peugeot”, as well as “Student Girl”, instantly became hits along with the title song, and the singer’s second album, “Shadows” (2006), soon followed. True, critics did not rate it as highly as the first, calling it more pop.

Yolka - “Girl Student”

In 2007, the artist received the Golden Gramophone for the song “Handsome Boy” and released the album “This Magnificent World,” which consisted of more philosophical and calm songs than the previous ones.


In 2008, Elka was nominated in the category “Best Hip-Hop Project” for the Muz-TV Award. At the same time, her joint song with rapper Al Solo, “Happiness,” was released. At the end of the year, the artist presented her first song in Ukrainian called “Freedom”, after which speculation arose that it was dedicated to political changes in Ukraine.


In 2009, Elka stopped collaborating with Vlad Valov upon expiration of their contract and began working with Alena Mikhailova from Velvet Music and Liana Meladze, sister of the famous Valery and Konstantin Meladze.

In 2010-2011, the singer was a judge of the Ukrainian talent show “X-Factor”. The turning point in the girl’s life was an interview with Alla Pugacheva on radio “Alla”, where the singer was personally invited by the Primadonna. After this, Yolka’s songs became much more positive and in keeping with the “pop” style.


In 2011, Yolka released the song “Provence,” which immediately became a hit and was in the top of all music charts in Russia and Ukraine. “Provence” brought Yolka three awards from the Muz-TV channel. Yolka’s next hits were “On a Big Balloon”, “Near You” and “Boy”, which the singer recorded together with comedian Pavel Volya.

Yolka - Provence

At the end of 2011, the artist released a new album, “The Points Are Placed,” which became one of the best-selling albums of the year in Russia. The song “Provence” received the Golden Gramophone, and Yolka admitted that being a pop singer is cool and not at all ashamed.

At the beginning of 2015, the singer’s fifth album “#Heaven” was released, which included the previously released popular hits “I Want”, “Fly, Lisa”, “Draw Me the Sky”. Over the next two years, the singer received a number of prestigious awards, including the Golden Gramophone for the best song (“Warming Happiness”) and the Russian MusicAwards in the category “Best Singer.”

Personal life of Yolka

In her youth, Lisa met with the captain of her KVN team “Ward No. 6” Vasily Krainyai. After Yolka moved to Moscow, their seven-year relationship ended.

Yolka met her husband Sergei Astakhov in her youth, but passion flared up between them only 6 years later, after a chance meeting at a party in Moscow. For a long time, the young family lived mainly on the singer’s money.


In 2010, just at the time when Yolka had a breakthrough in her career, the lovers got married, after which the singer made Sergei her administrator. At the beginning of 2016, the couple divorced, and Yolka fired Astakhov from his position as an administrator. The reason for the breakup was financial problems.

The pseudonym Elka appeared to the future artist when she was 11 years old. That's what her peers called her. Now the girl practically does not respond to the name Elizaveta - everyone calls her Elka.

The girl was born in 1982 in Ukraine, in the city of Uzhgorod. She is now 34 years old. The future star began singing from early childhood. At first she studied in the choir, and then mastered vocal singing. The girl loved music very much, especially jazz and soul. She often attended music festivals.

Singer Elka as a child

In addition, young Elka was very artistic. She played on the KVN team. Her team was quite popular.
After school, the girl entered a music school. She studied to be a vocalist. But the teachers could not discern talent in Elka. Perhaps they did not like her because of her unusual bright appearance.

The girl had tattoos, provocative makeup, and wasn’t even embarrassed to shave her head. Elka could not come to terms with the lack of support from teachers and voluntarily left the educational institution after six months.

Singer Elka in her youth

Elka often performed on stage, as a vocalist, and earned her living by washing dishes in a cafe.
One day, the aspiring singer met the then famous rapper SHEFF. He became its producer. Yolka admits that at first she had absolutely no faith in herself. When Vlad Valov offered her cooperation, I thought it was a joke. But it turned out that the popular producer really saw talent in her.

Carier start

Yolka was the vocalist of “B&B” from the early 90s until the spring of 2001, when she went solo. The period from 2001 to 2003 was a turning point for the singer. The girl who performed at the hip-hop music festival “Rap Musi’c 01” attracted the attention of Vlad Vavilov, a famous producer of many popular groups and soloists. But before taking the girl under his wing, the man disappeared for three years. Very upset by this incident, Yolka, who left the B&B group, plunged into severe depression. Having decided that she would not be able to build a career as a singer, the girl got a job as a waitress, taking a short break from creative activity.

So, in 2004, Elka began her first steps towards popularity. She performed for the first time at a concert dedicated to the memory of Micah. Lisa performed the cult song, “Bitch is Love.” The audience immediately greeted her very warmly.

The producer suggested that the singer change her pseudonym to her real name, but she categorically refused. She decided to remain Yolka.

Singer Elka during her studies at the university

In 2005, the young Yolka was recognized as the discovery of the year. Then she released her first album with a loud name - “City of Deception.” Songs from this album topped the popular charts for a long time. The girl was called the discovery of the year. And critics spoke of her as “the hope of pop music.”

The popularity of the music performer for a wide audience increased significantly when songs from her album became singles. According to the Russian portal “Tophit”, the compositions took 56th position in the tops.

In the same year, Yolka was awarded the RMA Award for achievements in the field of contemporary music and contribution to the development of the Russian show business industry on the MTV channel, in the nomination for “Best Rap”.

Singer Elka at the beginning of her career

The 2008 album “This Magnificent World” conveyed the singer’s philosophical thoughts and her call for all “sharp corners” to be smoothed out peacefully, and not through scandals. For this collection, the girl was nominated for the Muz-TV award for the best hip-hop projects. But after the release of her third studio album, singer Yolka temporarily stopped releasing new hits, since her contract with Vlad Vavilov ended in 2009. According to the producer, he made the girl popular, and now his goal was to let her go on her own. Many critics gave up on Yolka, but the singer believed that her career was not over.

In the same year, the singer received her first award, the Golden Gramophone figurine, and recorded a new album.
In 2009, Elka’s contract with her producer Vlad Valov ended, and she set off on a free voyage. This happened because she decided to change her style in music. The girl wanted to try collaboration with other authors and composers. For example, she worked for some time with Valery and Konstantin Meladze.

On September 20, 2009, a new album “Provence” was released, in which Yolka revealed her potential and won new fans of her work. The artist was awarded numerous awards and was included in the top ten most popular stars creating new trends in music show business. In subsequent years, Yolka began to release albums that raised her ratings and brought her new awards and public recognition.

In 2010, on Radio Alla she met Alla Pugacheva. This meeting made an indelible impression on Lisa. Her compositions have become more positive, and her appearance has become more feminine and gentle.

Alla Borisovna then advised the aspiring singer to change her style and go to conquer the big stage.

In 2011, the singer received three awards from Muz-TV and wrote several songs that the public quickly fell in love with. For example, she sang a duet with Pavel Volya. The songs were included in the album “The Points Are Placed.” Several composers worked on this record at once. Therefore, the compositions included in it. They belonged to a variety of styles, including “bossa nova”.

Singer Elka on stage

After the release of this album, Elka often began giving concerts. And tickets for them sold out very quickly, immediately after they went on sale.

On the set of the X Factor program, where Elka acted as a judge, she first appeared on stage in an elegant dress. The press immediately began to discuss the singer’s new image, writing that her new style suited her very well. She was even called a style model. And Elka said that external changes in her life were caused by internal changes.

In 2015, the girl released another album, “#SKY.” The girl explained that she really likes to post photos of the sky on social networks with this hashtag.

Christmas tree on the set of the film "Yolki-5"

Christmas tree on the set of the series “SashaTanya”

In February 2017, the singer held a big solo concert at Crocus City Hall.

At the moment, the singer and artist Yolka is being compared to the famous strong women of Russian show business. The beauty, who became a singer and TV presenter, did not stop there. Yolka decided to try herself as an actress and starred in several films.

Personal life of singer Yolka

The singer Elka hides such part of her biography as her personal life from prying eyes. She doesn’t show photos of her husband and children and for a long time jokes that she lives with a cat. But some details of her personal life are still known.

For example, at the moment when the future star was playing in her hometown, in the KVN team “Ward No. 6,” she had a serious romantic relationship with its captain, Vasily Krainy. The romance lasted seven years, and ended when Elka decided to move to Moscow.

Singer Elka with her ex-husband

Despite the fact that the beautiful girl has no shortage of male admirers, due to the fact that she is used to devoting herself entirely to work, it is difficult for her to have affairs. The girl admits in an interview that she has no time to deal with her personal life. She had a husband and business partner, but they separated.

Those who are interested in the personal life of the singer Yolka know that her ex-husband’s name is Sergei Astakhov. Photos of Elka and Astakhov can be easily found on the Internet. Lisa met Sergei, who, by the way, is the namesake of the famous actor, many years ago in her youth. They began a passionate affair, with no prospects for the future. Soon the young people separated, but six years later they met again. Then feelings flared up between Lisa and Sergei, which grew into marriage.

The stumbling block in the relationship between Elka and her husband was that the man earned little. At the beginning of the relationship, they lived on the money that Lisa earned. And in 2010, Elka took him to her team to work as an administrator.

But this was not enough for a man to start providing for his family. The girl continued to independently “settle” all financial problems, saving money for travel and building a house.

In 2016, the personal life of singer Yolka deteriorated. She fired her husband as her director and decided to end the marriage. According to media reports, the young family could not cope with the financial troubles that arose.

They never completed the construction of their joint house in Sergiev Posad. You can see on the Internet a photo of the mansion of the singer Yolka and her husband, whose personal life she so carefully hid from the press. The girl tried to invest a lot of effort and money into this house, but her plans have not yet come true.

The girl’s friends say that her husband was indeed a gigolo, accustomed to living at her expense. The singer does not comment on the current situation in her personal life, regarding her husband’s lack of children. After the breakup, she devoted herself entirely to work.

Are fans who are interested in Elka’s life looking forward to the girl having a new husband and children? The girl answers in an interview - she is not yet ready to have children, because first you need to meet a loved one who will become truly family.

Christmas tree at a photo shoot

In general, Lisa loves children very much. This can be seen by watching the TV show “You’re Super,” in which children who find themselves in difficult life circumstances take part. The singer sincerely admires the talent of these children and hopes that they will find a new mom and dad.

What is Elka's hobby?

The girl admits that she not only works very hard, but also always tries to find time for relaxation and hobbies. After all, it is impossible to sing all the songs and earn all the money.
