Ekaterina Boldysheva

The name of the singer Ekaterina Boldysheva is inextricably linked with the history of the legendary pop group Mirage, founded in 1986. Katya joined the team in 1990 as one of the vocalists, and more than 25 years later she became the only soloist of the famous group. Mirage today is the revived “golden line-up” of the 90s: Ekaterina Boldysheva (vocals) and Alexei Gorbashov (guitar), as well as Andrei Grishin (drums) and Sergey Krylov (keys).

Ekaterina was born on April 21, 1969 in Moscow. The girl had no dreams of becoming a singer, but her medical mother, who loved music and had a wonderful voice, tried to instill in her daughter a love for this art form from childhood.

The girl was not interested in studying at school, but when she was sent to her relatives at the dacha for the summer, the fun began: with her sister Polina, they exercised their vocal abilities to their fullest, arranged family concerts.

After graduating from the music school, Katya entered the music school at the conductor-choral department, seriously hoping to teach in the future at an educational institution or an amateur art circle. The girl has already received a distribution, but the fate of the future singer was changed by her friend from the music school Svetlana Vladimirskaya.

While still students, the girls often improvised at the piano, singing their favorite pop hits, and the whole course was going to listen to the duet. After receiving her diploma, Svetlana decided to found a group and, first of all, invited a talented friend. So Katya got into the composition of "Cleopatra", then worked in the team of "Zvezda" by Natalia Gulkina, and then "Mirage" appeared.

Catherine was invited to the "Mirage" in times of troubles. By the early 90s, the group, which had already experienced a peak in popularity, was on the verge of collapse due to scandals with phonograms and a large number of clones. It was necessary to do something, and the founder of "Mirage" Andrei Lityagin, betting on live performance, took Boldysheva to replace the soloist Tatyana Ovsienko, who had left the band.

Ekaterina, unlike her predecessors - Tatyana Ovsienko and Irina Saltykova, began to perform songs in her own voice, she was the first who worked live at concerts, even though she had to perform 20-30 times a month.

With the arrival of Ekaterina Lityagin, he began to prepare for the release of the third studio album in the Mirage discography, Not for the First Time: songs with Katya's vocals and Gorbashov's guitar solos had already been recorded, but due to the economic crisis of the early 90s, the release of the disc was postponed indefinitely term.

For nine years, Ekaterina Boldysheva was the only and full-fledged soloist of the group, performing golden hits - "Music bound us", "Night is coming", "New hero" and many others. However, in 1999 Andrei Lityagin, against the background of declining interest in the group, decided to update his brainchild, recruiting a new lineup of young soloists, "singing" to someone else's phonogram.

As a result, from 1999 to 2004, Ekaterina Boldysheva and Alexei Gorbashov began performing together, went on tour across the country and abroad, performing the hit songs of Mirage.

Subsequently, the court proceedings of Gorbashov and Lityagin will be connected with this fact (only in 2011 the court recognized Gorbashov as the authorship of 9 hits of "Mirage").

In 2005, Ekaterina, in search of new creative directions, recorded a duet with a popular performer of the chanson genre Vyacheslav Bobkov - the song "Boarding a Flight".

In 2008, the very same Mirage album “Not for the first time”, which was ready in the early 90s, was finally released. The album, which was delayed for 18 years, with such hits as "Echo", "Spirit of the Night", "Two of Us", broke all sales records, becoming gold. For this, Ekaterina and Alexei won the Golden Disc award in 2013.

Boldyshev and Gorbashov presented a new project conceptually different in musical format from Mirage. The singer under the pseudonym MS Katie released the songs "For Love" and "I Love You, Bald", as well as two original videos for these compositions.

However, in 2016, a sharp turn took place in Catherine's life, when, with the consent of Andrei Lityagin, it was decided to revive the Mirage group as part of the 1990s with Boldysheva and Gorbashov. Today, the artists represent the only and original composition of the group.

In 2017, the album "Greatest Hits Live" was released, which included concert versions of the greatest hits "Mirage" with the participation of Ekaterina Boldysheva and Alexei Gorbashov.

The creative union of Catherine and Alexei has long grown into a family union. The couple have been together for almost 30 years. The couple are together 24 hours a day - both at home and on tour. And in rare periods of rest, they prefer to read, play tennis, visit friends and explore various parts of the world: they have visited Baikal, Altai, Tenerife, and Niagara Falls. But the most desirable place is a house with your favorite pets, things and an invariable cup of black coffee.

An important fact of the biography of Catherine is charity work. The singer performs a lot at events for disabled children, orphans, prisoners, military personnel, and visits orphanages with gifts.

According to the singer, today all the efforts and time are devoted to the Mirage group. The team tours a lot: dozens of countries are waiting for their favorite band with hits from the 80s and 90s to arrive with a grandiose light and laser show.

The chronicle of the touring travels of Katya and other musicians in vivid photographs is reflected on the group's website and in Gorbashev's Instagram account.

There are many new songs and clips in the studio. In addition, in the near future, Ekaterina and her husband Alexei plan to record songs from their solo repertoire.
