Ekaterina Bogolyubova

Ukrainian singer Katya Chilly, whose real name is Ekaterina Petrovna Kondratenko, at 38 years old looks much younger than her age due to her fragile physique (the singer's height is 152 cm, weight is 41 kg) and a young voice.

The girl was born in Kiev on July 12, 1978. From early childhood, Katya began to show musical abilities. Already from the first grades of the tenth year, she entered a music school at once in two departments - string instruments and piano. In addition, the talented girl enrolled in a folk singing school, and then became a soloist of the Orel choir.

Versatile talents allowed Katya, already at the age of 8, to loudly declare herself to the whole country. During the broadcast of the television concert "Children of Chernobyl", which was shown on the central television of the Soviet Union, Katya performed the song "33 cows". The little big-eyed girl was then remembered by many viewers.

6 years later, the singer received her first award at the Fant Lotto Hope competition. Then the famous composer Sergei Ivanovich Smetanin noticed her. He invited the girl to cooperate, the fruit of which was Ekaterina's first album "Mermaids In Da House", and she herself changed her name to the creative pseudonym Katya Chilly.

Despite her stage presence, Kondratenko did not forget her studies either. As a teenager, she became a student of the Lyceum at the National University, and then followed the path of a philologist-folklorist, entering a prestigious university. She devoted her thesis to the study of ancient civilization. Katya finished her postgraduate studies in two cities at once - Kiev and Lyublino.

The folklore theme formed the basis of Katya Chilly's first album. The original manner, unusual musical material made an impression on the audience and made the singer popular. In 1997, Katya, at the invitation of MTV head Bill Rhodey, took part in the filming of programs for this channel.

In addition to the national competition "Chervona Ruta", where the singer becomes a frequent guest, she travels abroad to participate in international projects, one of which is the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. All events testified that a new star appeared on the horizon of the stage, whose creative biography promised to be fruitful and happy.

During one of the touring tours, an unexpected event happened. During the performance, the singer suffered greatly, having stumbled and fell from the stage. The injuries were serious - spinal injury, concussion. A colleague in the workshop Sashko Polozhinsky provided her with first aid, he also helped during her rehabilitation. During this period, the girl disappeared from the media space. The disease did not recede for a long time, her health deteriorated, Katya was already beginning to despair.

Against the background of the experiences, she developed severe depression. It took time and support from relatives to overcome this condition. But, having pulled herself together, Katya Chilly creates the second album "Dream", with which she even managed to perform in forty cities of Great Britain. After the concert in London, which was broadcast live on the BBC, the world famous company offered to shoot a video for Katya for one of the hits for a year-long show on the channel.

A new round in the work of Katya Chilly was her album "I am young", which was released in 2006. A year before that, the singer's maxi-single "Pivni" was released, which was created with the participation of many famous DJs of that time: Tka4, Evgeny Arsentiev, DJ Lemon, Professor Moriarti and LP. A clip was also created for this song, made in a new 3D technique for that time.

The bonus of the disc was the hit "Ponad Khmarami", which Katya Chilly sang in a duet with Sashko Polozhinsky. A little later, a new version of this song will appear, but this time in a joint performance of Katya and the hip-hop group TNMK.

The album, consisting of 13 tracks, among which the most popular songs were "Bantik", "Krashen Vechir", "Zozulya", made an impression on the audience and criticism. In it, Katya Chilly combined the incompatible - folklore and electronics. Folk songs and poetic lines of contemporary authors were used as the source material.

After the release of this disc, Katya Chilly rethinks the concept of her work and concentrates only on acoustic music. She completely changes the composition of the band and begins touring with live concerts, without a single hint of artificial sound. Now in her group such instruments as piano, violin, double bass, drambuka, percussion appear. The girl goes on stage barefoot, in simple dresses. She is invited as a headliner by many Ukrainian music festivals: "Spivochi terasi", "Zoloti Vorota", "Chervona Ruta", "Antonich-fest", "Rozhanitsa".

Despite the fact that the singer's discography is small (only 5 albums), all of Katya Chilly's concerts are sold out.

At the end of 2016, Katya Chilly took part in the "People. Hard Talk" program, where she spoke about her plans for the future and about the sources of her inspiration.

January 22, 2017 on the air of the channel of Ukraine "1 + 1" began the seventh season of the show "Voice of the Country". The composition of the judges this year has somewhat changed in comparison with the previous programs of the "Voice of the Country". It includes two previous mentors Tina Karol and Potap and two new coaches Sergey Babkin and Jamala. During one of the first auditions, which took place on January 26, Katya Chilly appeared on the stage. She performed the musical composition "Svetlitsa". For her performance, the singer chose an ethnic style: she was wearing a linen scarf, a canvas dress, and a special sign was drawn on her chest.

As a result of the blind choice, all four judges turned to her, who were indescribable delight at the appearance of a talented singer as a participant in the competition. Many fans of the Voice of Ukraine show are already predicting Katya Chilly's victory in the final of the competition, but time will tell how events will develop.

Now, in addition to being engaged in a media project, Katya Chilly continues to give live concerts, the last of which took place on March 2.

The singer's personal life is behind the scenes: Katya does not advertise her relationship or marital status. But judging by the change of Kondratenko's maiden name to Bogolyubova, the singer's husband was pianist Alexei Bogolyubov, who works with her in the same team.

Three years ago, the firstborn appeared in the family of Catherine and Alexei - the son of Svyatozar, whom the artist already takes with her to many performances.
