Ekaterina Yakovleva

Hard work, talent and charisma brought fame and love of the audience to the queen and the "iron lady" of the Russian chanson Katerina Golitsyna. The singer's hits are heard by fans of the genre. Combining creativity with taking care of the family, the star continues to release new albums and videos, which invariably pleases fans of talent.

Katerina Yakovleva (real name of the singer) was born on April 5, 1962 in a family of hereditary Kuban Cossacks. True, the girl was born in Omsk, where the father Anatoly Evgenievich and the mother of the baby worked according to distribution after the institute.

According to Katerina's recollections, times were difficult, a family of young oil engineers settled in a dorm room. Parents had to work hard, and therefore little Katya was sent to her grandmother in Krasnodar.

On the official website, the chanson star shared a short biography and noted that happy and carefree childhood years passed in the Kuban. The parents soon joined their daughter. Since the work of the senior Yakovlevs was associated with constant business trips, the girl traveled a lot around the Union.

Katya's love for music is from her father. The man played the guitar beautifully, sang songs and taught this to his daughter. In addition, the family acquired an old piano, which Katerina learned to play. At the age of seven, the girl came to a music school, where she surprised the teachers by singing "Along the street a snowstorm is sweeping" and accompanying herself on the piano.

After graduating from a music school, the future singer went to enter the Gnesins Music School, but unexpectedly failed at the composing stage. Not wanting to be left without higher education, the applicant entered the Krupskaya Pedagogical Institute at the Faculty of Foreign Languages.

The dream of musical education was still fulfilled by the purposeful Katya. Five years later, "Gnesinka" obeyed the stubborn and hardworking Yakovleva, who became a college student.

As is obvious from the biography of Katerina, from childhood she dreamed of becoming a singer and stubbornly moved towards her intended goal. While studying in pedagogy, the girl did not forget about creativity and singing. Yakovleva performed in restaurants, began writing her own songs.

The talented performer became a participant and soloist in a series of pop groups - "Moskvichki", "Girls", "Peers". In the end, she became the leader of VIA "Katyusha", with whom she recorded the first studio magnetic album "Call me into the night", and a little later the second cassette with the group's songs - "The Best Friend", was not long in coming.

During the difficult times of the beginning of the Yeltsin rule, the performer lived in two countries - she regularly flew to America, where she earned and performed with concerts, and also gained valuable experience on stage and in the studio.

Soon the singer realizes that she does not feel creative satisfaction, working in the disco pop genre. In the States, the girl became interested in country music, which also influenced her creativity. Soon, the spouse's business is going uphill and the need for earning money on endless tours has disappeared. Then Katerina got the opportunity to concentrate on working in the studio and changed the genre to chanson.

At the same time, the young performer chose a pseudonym and became Katerina Golitsyna. According to the singer, the choice fell on the surname of the old Cossack ancestors, the woman is in no way connected with the princely family.

A new round and an instant takeoff of her career received after the recording of the joint album "Leaving - Leave" at Stas Namin's studio with the leader of the "Moral Code" and longtime friend Sergei Mazaev in 1997. Having received the love of the listeners and the recognition of professionals, the album sold millions of copies without serious financial investments and promotion and took the first lines of music ratings.

After several more years of hard work in the studio, in 2002, the debut album of the performer and songwriter Katerina Golitsyna "Nefraersky Romance" appeared. Since the genre of Russian chanson is predominantly male and rough, the singer has earned the title of "iron lady" of chanson.

However, the compositions soon become more lyrical and melodic. The star takes part in all sorts of festivals, performs joint concerts with other performers of the genre. Concerts with Alexei Bryantsev, Alexander Yagya gather full halls of fans.

The star lady of the chanson collaborates with Valery Kuras, the duet with the singer for the song "You are one, and I am alone" instantly wins the hearts of fans. Creativity with Mikhail Bondarev brings a video for the song "I'm flying to you", which is gaining thousands of views. The composition "Snow in the palms" performed on stage with Dmitry Hristov is becoming a success. The duet has recorded about a dozen songs.

In addition to men, Katerina Golitsyna also works with women performing in the genre. For example, the song "Kvita", recorded with Athena, is becoming popular.

In addition to performing on stage, in 2011 Katerina works as the host of the author's program on the Shanson TV channel - Short Conversation. The star of the Russian female chanson is a multiple winner of the prestigious Chanson of the Year award.

Katerina tries not to talk about the details of her personal life in the media. It is known that a woman has been happily married to her husband Yuri for many years. The man ran companies and banks. Currently, Golitsyna's husband has moved to work in government agencies.

According to rumors, the singer's husband is a very wealthy person. Often, producers, believing that Golitsyna could afford to invest considerable funds in their own work, offered the performer services for fabulous money. Katerina has always refused such projects.

The husband, according to the singer, supported her aspirations and creative plans. While touring in America, he invariably stayed with his little daughter. As soon as the career of the head of the family and earnings skyrocketed, the man saved his wife from the need for exhausting tours.

A caring wife gave her husband two children - a daughter and a son. Now they are already adults, accomplished individuals. Son Andrey graduated from the Faculty of Management. The young man inherited a piece of the star's mother's talent - he writes poetry. Daughter Julia was educated as an international journalist at the prestigious MGIMO. The girl already has two of her kids. The girl once appeared in Katerina's video for the song "Love in absentia".

It is obvious that the performer's family is friendly and close-knit. According to the singer's stories, on their own plot in the Moscow region, the spouses began construction of another house in which Katerina's children could settle, and the whole family would live nearby.

The singer continues her tireless work on recording new songs. Katerina looks great and is in great shape - with a height of 179 cm, the weight of the performer is 65 kg. At the same time, a woman devotes her free time to rest and taking care of her family and grandchildren.

The last album of the singer "One in a Million" was released in 2017. The disc contains 16 hits performed by the singer. The entire discography of Lady Chanson is listed on the official website of Katerina Golitsyna.

In 2018, the premiere of the star's video for the song "In Personal Space" took place. According to the website, the lists of tour dates and concerts are temporarily closed.

It should be noted that Katerina does not suffer from star fever at all. The singer gladly publishes family photos on her Instagram page and communicates with subscribers in the comments, answering questions that arise.
