"I didn't think about love to the coffin ..."

Utah, what did you have to survive over the years?

From 2009 to 2012 there was a period when I did not give concerts. During this time I managed to endure and give birth to twins Katya and Masha. The older Tolik was at that time 3 years. By the way, Masha is named after my grandmother Masha, with which my childhood passed in the area of \u200b\u200bmerchand in Yekaterinburg. And during this break, I continued to work as a composer and songwriter. I managed to write music to the film "Method of Lavova - 2", to two children's performances, to the Safron's brothers show, to the full-length movie and ... bury her husband.

I became older, stronger, stable. I am a mother of three children - this is very changing the worldview. Responsibility from now on - not just words, but my style of existence. Decisivity is still lacking, but the fears have dubbed.

In my life began a new period. Once in the morning I woke up and understood - it was time to change. Songs "Favorite My" and "First Date" - a step on this way.

Oleg Osipov was only 42 years old, when he died in 2011 (he had a heart disease, suffered a heart attack. - Note WD). Who helped you survive this tragedy?

Mom helped me to survive the death of Oleg: she took care of children, supported everyone than only possible. Without it, I would not have coped. Mom herself is a very strong woman, and this power was passed from her.

With Oleg - was it love at first sight? What do you think, can you love as much as a second time?

It was not love at first sight. In 2004, Oleg invited me to work on the series "Soldiers" as a composer. I started writing music. Nothing foreshadowed, as suddenly, somewhere in six months, something happened between us - I looked at him with other eyes. And he began to give me attention signs. And very zealo - did gifts, cared, invited to travel. The novel developed very violently, but I didn't think about love to the coffin ... But at some point it clicked - this is my own man, I want to be with him, give birth to him children and take care of him. In 2006, we got married.

Oleg gave me the feeling that I am a princess. My husband is not near for 4 years, but the feeling remains. And it still gives me drive and strength. Love again ... Now my heart is free, wait and see.

Utah with her husband Oleg Osipov

I know that after the death of Oleg, the Delay of His Property began (Oleg Osipov was a successful producer, director. - approx. WD). Have you been able to defend yourself and children?

I do not know who is the true initiator of all the disgrace that was going on. A lot of people fought around his property. As a result, we, the heirs, did not achieve anything. Honestly, I did not want to get involved in these games. I had three babies in my arms, and my life was much more expensive than millions.

"I was afraid of my father, but he made me an artist"

With children: "They are stunning children - free, powerful and talented"

Tell us about your children: what do they do? Someone is fond of music, sings?

The eldest son Tolik studies in the second grade, is engaged in judo and chess. I will not say that he likes study. No, rather from under the stick does, like a normal boy. It is much more important for me to grow a normal living guy than botany. It does not show much interest to music, but he knows almost all my songs. Tolik tries to give me marry all familiar men - the guy's father is needed ... I understand everything, but I say: they say, you understand, Toyan, what will need a whole life with him? Tolman pensively nods ...

And the girls twins, they are now five years old, dancing, are engaged in all kinds of developing programs. And also want me to marry!

They are stunning children - free, powerful and talented. I learn from their life and durability!

Your relationship with your father was not easy. Have they changed now - Dad began to understand you?

Dad ... I owe him to everyone that I can. It was dad that he tightly controlled my classes on piano as a child. It was he who gave me a start in the development of his own career. Yes, I was afraid of him. But it has developed as an artist and personality in many respects thanks to him.

He almost never praised me. And often criticized, and not embarrassed in expressions. Our relationship can be called this way: not easy. And show me - who has a simple relationship with? Father for me - all. It is a pity, I started to realize it to fully only recently.

Separate word about mom. She understood perfectly, it's hard with your father. And the titanic efforts came to the house in the house. She is Holy - My Mom. Now, being a parent itself, I understand what kind of work it is.

And now - all the same. Dad does not like my song "First Date", which now sounds on all radio stations, and mom likes it. That's how we live.

"Survive the crisis will help only time"

Utah again stands, but continues to write songs for the series

Over music to what movies, TV shows are you now working?

How often come to his native Ekaterinburg? Do you miss?

I come not as often as I would like. Last time was two years ago. This year I will come a few days before my concert, which will be held on March 17 in the Ben Hall Pub. My grandmother, brothers and sisters live here. There are friends who can not see for years, but always confident in them. I miss the native city, of course. In Moscow, accompanied by the photo of Yekaterinburg, as much as Zamiya. I can hang over the photo, consider and catching goosebumps by body. And meeting of countrymen in Moscow - a separate song!

Biography: Birthday

Childhood, adolescence, youth ..

Born and grew up in Yekaterinburg.

As a child, he studied to play flute, actively engaged in sports: swimming and rhythmic gymnastics. Most of all, young blonde loved the exercises with Bulavami: With their help, it was possible to successfully fight back from the local lustful potatile. Unfortunately, she quickly entered the taste of street fights and soon "flew out" from the section of rhythmic gymnastics. Although ... unfortunately or vice versa, fortunately, it is difficult to say: knowing the utah in achieving the goal, it can be argued that it is able to become a "star" in any case for which it takes.

Utah then, on its own memories, "always and everywhere", preferring, to the shame of the mother, the opera singers, thymaw songs, overheard in the working area, where the whole family of Utah lived. By the way, there were no competitors in this field in this field in those years - Mr. Novikov was serving undeserved punishment in the colony in the north of the region.

At 11 years, unexpectedly, he decided to master the piano.

A few years later she had arrived in Moscow to enter the piano branch of the Gnesinsky Music School, without the day not studied in an ordinary music school. Honestly confess that this decision has been made from anger. "All around said: Girl, what are you crazy? What a gnesinka? And I took and arrived! The price of this is eight hours of classes every day, the lack of goulans, the disappearance of boys, the absence of any entertainment, the school is general education - such purposeful Many work. "

In the third year, it was cooled to the piano, but the formation received in Gnesinka allowed us to further arrange their songs and produce their record. Fasting goodbye to the career of the pianist, Utah professionally took up jazz vocals. The jazzmen ridked jazzmen with world names were referred to her a great jazz future. But they were rejoiced by the growing change, they were not long: one young "scoundrel" brought the disk metallic ...

And everything began in 1999, when some of the acquaintances advised her one author, a former member of the Sverdlovsk Group "April Marsh" Alexander Semenova (Semenov: "In the" April Marsh "I did not fit, because, like my grandfather, Member of Stalinsky The Central Committee of the VKP (b), I believe that "on x .. I need music that cannot be singed"). Semenov, by this time, graduated from the next television project and was fascinated by the creation of the "real musical journal" Neon ". They met and" terribly friend I didn't like a friend. "Utah immediately thought that they would not work. We sat, talked, they wanted to part forever, but unexpectedly found the complete similarity of musical addictions (since then they do not part, and together work on their musical project). Soon ITU recorded His first compositions, becoming a pioneer Pop Grandja in Russia. Software Directors of Radio Station, I remember, then the music of Utah died: It's now Total in Russian Radio in the order of things, and then ...

"Her music is pompous, as a pavilion of horse breeding at VDNH, heavily like a cast iron iron and beautiful as a breeding Siberian husky," the reviewers wrote at that time.

... Since then, gravity has been dressed, and pompousness and disappeared at all. But the most beautiful and feminine domestic Rock Lady still composes and sings fabulously beautiful songs, in the texts of which so much sincerity and adult wisdom that many do not believe in the authorship of the fragile twenty-year-old blonde with blue eyes. Another phenomenon on the domestic music scene? The Future Will show. But now people, once visited her concert, come again and again. Young fans Karaulyat Utah have editorial entrances: "Utah, we want to be like you." All this greatly looks at the dream, but only close people know that every day is a daily exhausting work ...

Since 1999, the composition of her group has repeatedly changed. Professionalism and durability remained unchanged, thanks to which Utah managed to unite adult stubborn men - musicians from Zemfira groups, 4.33, Moscow Groove Institute, Rondo, Children's Panadoll, untouchables. After all, Utah not only composes and sings his songs, but their own arrange them, leads the recording and information of living tools in the final phonogram. Actually this is the work of the Sound Producer. In Russia, people who fulfill her on the "branded" level of catastrophically, one of them. Recently, Utah undertook to master the profession of sound engineer. "The first swallow" - a new song of the Araks group "on the shores of separation".

At the end of June, Utah presented his second album "Hop and Solod", over which she worked for more than a year. The album is very sincere, very Russian. He released his largest Russian record-company Real Rejords. In the rotation clip on the song "Hop and Malt" (MTV. ORT, etc.). Radio Station: Our Radio, Khitfmi, Chanson, Russian Radio, Dynamite, Dozens of Regional FM Stations.

September 2002.

The date of the release of the Album "Hop and Malod" (27.06) was barely announced, as the voices began to be distributed, the choir, who later released the albums in the summer?! ". The voices were distributed until it became clear that the sales volume of the virtually debut album of the composer, the poet and singers named Uta are inferior only to a few of the grandfather and Rock-Szen.

And shortly before the release of "hop and malt" Utah received an order for a ballad for a new film based on the works of A. Grin. The song was born pretty quickly, and at one concert, she was still not degraded, Utah could not have kept and showed the public. The hall for the first time heard this song, broke out with dozens of lights. Soon the song was recorded and in October already "conquered" in the first lines of the charts of many radio stations.

October 2002.

In September, Utah visited Native Yekaterinburg ..

"This trip was enormously influenced by me. I feel that I returned to another person ..." The result was not to wait: For the month of Utah, after the trip, I wrote a lot of new songs and just poems. It seems that the poets have such a mad creative splash called the Boldin Autumn.

December 2002.

Already the last days of the outgoing year brought a pleasant news: according to the results of a special process conducted by the authoritative institution of studying the public opinion Gallup Media, Utah entered the hundred most popular domestic artists.

This news of Utah heard, during the next night-to-nights for the sound engineer console in the studio - recording a new album in full swing. How will the album be called? Maybe "radios", and maybe "rye and clover". However, it is known that it will release it in the spring "Mystery of Sound" - one of the most serious players in the recording market. Meanwhile, poems have accumulated already on a whole book, which will be released simultaneously with the new album.

May-June 2004. Album "Girl"

At the end of May 2004, gramzapsy "Nikitin" produces a new album Utah "Girl". It will include 11 tracks, which once again demonstrate its unique gift of the composer-melody, poetic talent and a strong memorable voice.

The combination of an uncompromising guitar sound with unusual for Russian rock melodiousness and femininity of poems discouraged not one criticism. However, more and more often in critical disclaims, it is necessary to meet, along with the comparisons that have stimpped with comparisons with Jeanne Bichevskaya and Shania Twain, expressions like: "She is a real Russian singer" or "This is a Russian song."

"Utya is powerful, but at the same time a very human voice. I want to trust this voice ... As a hitmakeker, this girl deserves unconditional respect." - writes in the "newspaper" authoritative musical browser Mr. Parker (M. Kononenko).

Utah's name has become a known less than two years ago, after the release of the album "Hop and malt", and her way - calm and confident development: in the fall of 2002, on the results of surveys conducted by Gallup Media, Utah entered the hundred most famous Russian artists, and a year later , The popular musical edition of the "sound track" MK, summing up 2003, called Utah "one of the most-most" categories in the categories "Soloist of the Year", "group of the year" and "Top Sexy" among the recognized stars of the "first echelon".

But the greatest reward for Utah was the case in the city of Yaroslavl, when, after the concert, an unfamiliar girl literally broke through for the scene, in order to tell how once the song Utya kept her from the last step, saved life. "I have already had to read letters, in which people admitted that one of my songs (everyone had his own) helped them in a difficult moment, but this time I saw a living person, looked into his eyes - probably for the sake of such moments It is worth living and work, "says Utah.

And the new album, which was recorded from September 2003 to March 2004 at the Soyuz Studios, Polyphon, and Studios Andrei Bocko. Andrei Kucherenko ("Soyuz"), Samvelov Oganesyan ("Polyphon") and Sergey Bolshakov, spoke by sound engineers.

With the title of the plate, the singer could not decide for a very long time. Initially, it looked like "lived - were", then transformed into the "Title and Zhuravlik", and the last transformation happened quite recently and no one else like Diana Arbenina. It is she who is devoted to one of the capital compositions of the future album. The song "Girl", who gave away at the same time and the final name of the record, was written under a strong impression of the concert of night snipers, which was once hit by Utah. She recalls that all a half hours stood with an open mouth and eyes in twenty kopecks, after which she came home, and lines immediately had in his head.

However, this is not the only one and, you can even say, an outdated story about how the record received its name. Utah girl unpredictable and prone to change. Recently, all questions relating to the name of the album, it is responsible for being born on tour. "In the dressing room, my musicians trembled to rarity aelabic jokes, and not noticing me," says the singer. "Then I filed a voice:" Guys, well, I'm a girl !!! "." You are not a girl - you are a musician! "- Sliced \u200b\u200bIlya Volodin, my guitarist."

One of the songs of the album ("waited") together with a duet, Vladimir Shahrin sing ("Tea-F").

This song Utah wrote in January, on the train on the way to Native Ekaterinburg. Upon return, she sat down with this song in the studio, made an arrangement, sang, but ...

"Already during the first performance," waited ", I noticed that when this song sounds, any of the most speaking audience is silent," says Alexander Semenov, the producer of singer, - but when it was finally recorded, the feeling of what is Not enough. I will say that the idea of \u200b\u200ba duet came to me in the head not immediately, but the doubt about the same voice will be "on the cashier" was not from the very beginning. "

Literally immediately after the Rock Festival "Invasion" in Emmaus, Utah participates in a conversation with a professor of ontology and the theory of knowledge of Michael Lightman. At this broadcast, Utah trigted with a rather unexpected, even shocking question: where does the mother come from irritation on his own child? It turned out, for Utah in the status of the mother, this issue is one of the main ones. His echoes were heard throughout the conversation: And when Utah tells about his life, the Maternity, which turned her worldview, and when asked about the causes of misunderstanding, wars and aggression towards himself.
