Elena Kukarskaya

Singer Elena Kukarskaya became famous after participating in the project "Star Factory - 5", in which the prima donna of the national stage Alla Borisovna Pugacheva invented the pseudonym Cook for the charismatic performer. Elena Kukarskaya was born on October 10, 1983 in the oil and gas capital of Russia - the city of Tyumen. The father of the singer of the song "In the Blue Sea, in White Foam" Sergei Viktorovich worked as a staff member in an oil company, and his mother, Tatyana Mikhailovna, was a teacher at a school.

From a very young age, the vocalist showed interest in the illusory world of sounds. In conversations with media representatives, the artist recalled more than once how she liked listening to her mother, who, while cooking dinner, loved to hum in an undertone the songs popular at that time.

During her school years, Lena was more than once set as an example for negligent classmates, because Kukarskaya, unlike the majority, did not have the habit of coming to classes with homework unfulfilled. It is known that when in the process of training the singer had difficulties with a particular subject, she spent nights studying additional literature, trying to understand the essence of the discipline.

It is worth noting that the future pop star skillfully managed to combine studies with attending a music school (piano class), as well as volleyball and basketball sections. Despite the fact that in high school the performer of the song “Don't Come To Me” dreamed of professions first as a historian and then as a translator, after receiving a certificate of secondary education, Elena entered the Tyumen State Institute of Culture at the department “Directing theatrical performances and holidays”.

In her student years, the artist often won prizes in competitions for young pop song performers, and also twice received awards for the best actor's performance of a song and the brightest performance at the regional festival "Student Spring". Among other things, the ambitious young lady for a couple of years was the leading actress in the KVN team "Carbon Monoxide", in 2004 at the Mayor's Cup she was awarded the title of "Best Actor".

To take a break from her studies, Kukarskaya often went south with her friends for the summer. During one of these vacations, the singer's mother learned about the casting in the "Star Factory - 5" and immediately invited her daughter to try her hand at the show. In order not to contradict her beloved parent, Lena, who does not believe in her success, went to the capital of Russia to prove to her relatives and friends that they clearly overestimate her capabilities.

After two out of four qualifying rounds, Lena was ignored. The frustrated young lady bought a train ticket, and before going to her native land, she decided to take a walk. On the Arbat, she met a young man who asked Lena about the reasons for her arrival in Moscow. A new acquaintance managed to cheer up Kukarskaya and persuade her to participate in the show further. The next day, the talented singer went to the third qualifying round and got on the project.

On the stage of the Star Factory, Cook sang for the first time three solo songs - "Po Little", "Zhu-zhu" and "The Pianist". The single "Po Little", which got into the rotation of radio stations, fell in love with listeners, for a couple of weeks it took first places in the charts throughout the country. During her stay on the project, Elena was fortunate enough to sing a duet with rapper Serega, and Soso Pavliashvili, and Valery Syutkin, and Vitas, and even with Professor Lebedinsky.

The charming vocalist stayed on the show for 3 months and, according to the results of the audience vote, took 4th place, having signed a contract with Max Fadeev for further cooperation. After the project, Elena recorded the singles "My Dear Friend" and "Red Currant", and also sang a duet with the graduate of the second season of "Star Factory" Pierre Narcissus songs "Cold" and "Zinochka". A video clip was subsequently filmed for the second composition.

It is known that in such a tandem the artists planned to perform on New Year's holidays in the homeland of Narcissus - Cameroon (Africa). However, the trip never took place. In the fall of 2007, the Muz-TV channel began filming the television series Love Is Not Show Business, in which Kukarskaya got the role of the novice fashion designer Masha. In addition to Elena, Lera Kudryavtseva, the Vintage and Reckless Scammers, Svetlana Svetikova, Dominik Joker, Sergei Zverev, Sergei Stillavin and Gennady Bachinsky appeared in the project.

In October 2009, the contract with the production center of Maxim Fadeev ended. Cook, who set sail for free swimming in February 2010, gave two solo concerts in Vancouver as part of the entertainment program of the XXI Winter Olympic Games. In September, Lena was invited to Paris. In the capital of France, the singer opened the season of Russian parties. In January 2011, she toured the United States, during which the singer visited New York, Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

In 2012, Elena recorded a remix of the song "Winter" - the first song in the artist's repertoire, written by herself and released back in 2011. The finalist of the first season of "Star Factory" Mikhail Grebenshchikov acted as the sound producer of the remix. In May 2013, the premiere of Elena's new song "The Queen" took place.

The single topped the track list of the singer's self-titled album, released in October of the same year. The album includes hits written in the period from 2004 to 2013. In February 2015, Elena began work on a new song "All the best yourself." The video premiered in May. In the same month, the rotation of the single began on the air of federal radio stations. In the hit parade of the Vesna FM radio, the song “All the best yourself” for a couple of weeks was the most frequently ordered composition.

In 2016, the album "Po Little" was released. In addition to fresh works, the album's track-list includes the listeners' favorite hits "My dear friend", "Tango" and "Zhu-zhu". Also in the repertoire of Kukarskaya there are unpublished works that she sometimes performs at her concerts ("Bullet-Fool", "Lambada", "Winter").

Elena is extremely jealous of the topic of covering her personal life. It is only known for certain that the singer of the song “Come on, let's” met her future husband, businessman Alexei Krutykh at her own concert.

The lovers legalized their relationship in 2011. The newlyweds did not have a pompous event with pretentious decorations and fifty guests at the wedding. The wedding took place on a weekday with family and friends. Three years after the celebration, the artist gave her husband a son. The happy parents named the boy Fedor.

In 2017, the finalist of "Star Factory - 5" toured the cities with a concert program "Po Little", the track list of which included songs from the album of the same name by Kukarskaya.

Also in February of this year, the artist, together with Yana Churikova, Stas Piekha, Alexa, Anton Zatsepin, Victoria Daineko, Yuri Titov, Dominik Joker and Yulianna Karaulova, attended the program "Tonight". On the program, former colleagues on the show told the presenter Andrei Malakhov about how their life had developed after leaving the project.

Despite her busy work schedule, Elena does not forget about her fans. On Instagram and VKontakte, the star regularly uploads video cuts of work moments and photos from her vacation. It is worth noting that everyone can find materials related to the singer's creative biography on the vocalist's official website.
