Carolina Kuek

Ani Lorak is a singer, composer and lyricist. Well-known fame was brought to her by her performance at Eurovision-2008 with the song "Shady Lady", after which Ani took 2nd place. And this is not surprising, because her voice has a range of 4.5 octaves. Hard work and perseverance from childhood helped her to win the status of the Diva of our show business.

During her life, Ani Lorak had to go through a boarding school, but for this fate rewarded her with a fruitful career.

Ani Lorak's biography originates in a provincial Ukrainian city, then it was still the Ukrainian SSR. Karolina Kuek (real name of the artist) was born on September 27, 1978 in Kitsman, in the Chernivtsi region of Ukraine. The difficult childhood of the future star of television screens, catwalks and respected concert venues was predetermined before her birth: her mother and father broke up when Carolina was not yet born. As a result, the girl who was born was overtaken by complete poverty.

The singer's mother broke up with her father, but Carolina received her dad's surname, which had to be abandoned in light of the spotlights. The family lived poorly after the birth of the child; Carolina was not the only child. At the age of six, her mother decided to send Ani to the Sadgorsk boarding school # 4 (Chernivtsi, Ukraine). Together with her brother, Karolina lived there until the 7th grade, her mother was not able to feed the children, although she worked around the clock.

The young girl wanted to become a popular singer from the age of four, but the conditions in which she was born dictated their own rules to fate. Once in the boarding school, Lorak did not give up her dream, the girl took music lessons, participated in many local competitions - one of these turned out to be a lucky ticket for Carolina to the first echelon of Ukrainian show business.

Ani Lorak's lucky ticket was her victory in the Primrose singing competition in 1992 - at this Chernivtsi festival she met producer Yuriy Falyosa, who saw a talent and a promising singer in the girl. The victory provided the young artist with her first professional contract. For several years, Ani Lorak, under the strict guidance of Falyosy, learned the basics of show business, this lasted until 1995.

Ani Lorak's real name is Carolina Kuek. Initially, the young singer performed under her real name, but on the threshold of big show business she had to abandon it and take a pseudonym. Producer Yuri Falyosa insisted on this: in the competition, in which Ani Lorak claimed to win, there was already a participant from the Russian Federation named Carolina - the girl had to quickly look for a way out of the situation, then the producer read Carolina's name the other way around. For the first time, the name Ani Lorak was presented to the general public in March 1995.

In the same year, the producer "attached" the singer to the popular TV program "Morning Star", where Lorak received the first fame on the scale of the country. Then Ani Lorak was named “the discovery of the year” - the girl received the first creative award “Golden Firebird” at the Tavria Games. 1995 was a real breakthrough for the star - the girl's career and fees swung up, the artist earned the interest of journalists and the loyal love of fans, whose army grew with each public appearance.

In the breakthrough 1995, Lorak finished work on the recording of the first studio album "I Want to Fly", which was released in 6,000 copies, but never made it to Ukraine from the English firm "Holy Music". Since 1996, Ani Lorak has become the winner of the New York Big Apple Music 1996 Competition - it is obvious that Falesa chose the most correct path for Carolina. From year to year the girl proved her right to a place in Ukrainian show business with victories in creative contests all over the world and tours, which took place with constant sold-out.

There were countless contests in which the artist took part under the leadership of Falyosa. Each of them brought even greater popularity and popular recognition - everything that the girl dreamed of, she already had. Karolina did what she loved and worked a lot, later this work was widely appreciated by the public - Ani Lorak also felt her first career peaks in the late 90s.

In 1999, the vocalist was awarded the title of the youngest Honored Artist of Ukraine, and in 2004 she became the UN Goodwill Ambassador.

Ani Lorak went to Eurovision-2008 from Ukraine, from where she brought the second place for the country to Kiev. At the European music competition, Lorak presented the song "Shady Lady", which was released as a separate single - Europe appreciated the Ukrainian singer.

Ani Lorak became the owner of five gold and two platinum discs as a result of sales and rotations on radio and TV channels. The discs "There de ti ..." ("Where you are ...", 2001), "Mriy about me" ("Dream about me", 2003), "Ani Lorak" (2000) became gold , "Rozkazhi" ("Tell", 2006), "Smile" (2005).

In Ukraine, Ani Lorak is the official advertising face of the Oriflame cosmetic brand, the Schwarzkopf & Henkel cosmetic company and the TurTess Travel travel company. Ani Lorak restaurant “Angel lounge” was opened in Kiev in 2006.

Problems at home began in 2009, when Ani Lorak took part in the tour "With Ukraine in the Heart" in support of Yulia Tymoshenko. The Ukrainians remembered her "blunder" behind the singer, but the last straw in their patience was Ani Lorak's active touring in Russia, when the war in Donbass began.

Ukrainian nationalists disrupted Ani Lorak's concerts, and scandalous statements about the popular singer appeared in the Ukrainian media. According to these data, they are against the position that Ani Lorak demonstrates with her performances in Russia. In addition, the artist did not hide her friendship with the Russian pop king Philip Kirkorov, creative collaboration with Russian pop stars Timur Rodriguez, Valery Meladze, Grigory Leps, Yegor Creed.

Some Ukrainian artists stood up for the singer, noting that her "persecution is not clear to them." The political party "Svoboda" arranged for Ani Lorak a "corridor of shame" in front of the "Ukraine" palace, where the girl tried to get to the concert. Arsen Avakov stated on social networks that Lorak "actively provokes society."

At one point, the pride of the country, the brightest star of the Ukrainian scene, Ani Lorak, turned from a hero into an outcast. It is a shame and unfair when politics interferes with the sphere of creativity.

Ignoring criticism, Ani Lorak continues to tour with concert programs in Russia and the Baltic states. For the singer, art remains above political views and ambitions. But in Ukraine, Carolina so far refrains from touring for safety reasons.

Ani Lorak's personal life is not hidden by the haze of obscurity, as some artists prefer to do. From 1996 to 2004, Karolina lived with producer Yuri Falyosa, but their marriage was not officially concluded.

In the spring of 2012, Sophia was baptized in Kiev, Philip Kirkorov became the godfather of his daughter Ani Lorak. In an interview, the artist noted that the Russian pop singer occupied the niche in her soul that her older brother Sergei occupied in childhood. The young man protected his younger sister, and when Karolina was 9 years old, he died in Afghanistan.

Ani Lorak regularly sets aside time for training. The girl began to pay attention to sports after pregnancy, during which she gained 15 kg. The singer considers 48 kg to be the ideal weight for her height of 162 cm.

But consultants assure that this form is just a make-up trick, not beauty injections. The artist herself does not comment on rumors about plastic surgery. Carolina is confident in her beauty and is not afraid to appear in photos without makeup.

In July 2018, Ani Lorak's husband was spotted in the company of the Ukrainian business lady Yana Belyaeva. The man showed the girl unambiguous signs of attention while his wife performed at a festival in Baku. For a long time, the couple did not comment on messages about the imminent divorce, however, in January 2019, Lorak and Nalchadzhioglu divorced.

Even at Eurovision, Ani Lorak was called diva by her friend and mentor Philip Kirkorov. The singer's concert program corresponds to the status of a stage star in terms of vocals, production, and stage effects. Ani Lorak dedicated this show to all women, each of whom, in her opinion, deserves such a high title. Among the images used by the singer on the stage are the Virgin Mary, Mata Hari, Coco Chanel, Jeanne d'Arc, Mother Teresa.

For Ani Lorak herself, this show was a real test. The singer is present every minute on stage for three hours, performing complex equilibristic tricks during vocal numbers. The performance was directed by Oleg Bodnarchuk, the author of the previous concert program of the artist "Karolina". The Diva show used a moving robot platform, 500 kinetic gimbals to create tricks in the air, 19 elevators that create the illusion of a moving floor, 240 stage costumes. The premiere in Moscow took place at the Olimpiyskiy sports complex with a full house, in the hall for 15 thousand people there was no free space.
