Margarita Gerasimovich

Rita Dakota (real name - Margarita Gerasimovich) was born on March 9, 1990 in Minsk. The family lived in a poor area of ​​the city, but the girl's parents tried to ensure that their daughter did not feel lack of anything. As a child, the girl walked for a long time with the children from the yard, preferring to play Cossack robbers and other "boyish" games.

Young Dakota dreamed of making music since childhood. She sang songs by Natasha Koroleva and Kristina Orbakaite for the neighboring grandmothers, secretly dreamed of becoming a famous composer. The girl wrote her first poem at the age of five. It was dedicated to toys and was called The Steadfast Little Soldier.

The mother of the future singer noticed her daughter's talent, and when she was seven years old, she sent her to a music school. At the entrance exams, Rita sang the song "Moscow Nights". After some thought, the girl was enrolled in piano lessons, and she studied vocals as a free listener, joining the school choir. Music education was easy, together with other children, Rita performed at international festivals and competitions.

At the age of eleven, Dakota became the author of her first song. She wrote the first serious composition, being impressed by the French film "Leon" and the composition "Shape of my heart" by British musician Sting. She sang this song with a school friend at her fourth grade graduation party.

At the age of fourteen, Dakota was actively writing songs for her punk band and selling musical sketches to radio stations. In order for the girl and her business proposal to be taken seriously, she had to take one of the adults with her.

After school, Rita planned to enter the Glinka Music School, and learned about the outstanding vocal teacher Gulnara Robertovna. The teacher helped to record demos of Dakota's songs in order to preserve the copyright on them. At the same time, Rita became interested in graffiti and learned to draw. Then graffiti artists from Portugal visited Minsk, they saw the singer's drawings and described them as "dakotat". The girl liked this word so much that she made it her pseudonym.

The first steps in her creative biography were participation in the Belarusian talent competition "Star Stagecoach" in 2005. However, the project did not bring victory to the girl, since the jury of the competition accused the singer of lack of patriotism due to the performance of the song in English.

A similar event almost became an obstacle for Rita on the way to realizing her goal, but the girl continued to fight. She firmly decided to realize herself on stage. 

Participation in the large-scale Russian reality show "Star Factory" will become a fateful moment for her. It is the television musical project "Star Factory" that opens up new opportunities for Rita.

In 2007, her active professional growth began. The 17-year-old girl came from Minsk to the Moscow casting of the next season of "Star Factory" simply because she wanted to present discs with her music to famous Russian producers. The Belarusian girl did not dream of becoming one of the "manufacturers", but in the end she was taken on the project - she even became its finalist.

When it was announced the beginning of casting for the project "Star Factory-7", the singer's friends suggested that she sell or even donate several of her songs to the contestants for advertising. If not for the support of friends, Dakota would have abandoned such an idea. The judges reacted favorably to the singer, she went through all the tours and got into the television version of the project.

On the show, Dakota performed exclusively her own songs, and also wrote compositions for other participants. Her hit "Matches" was downloaded from the Internet more than a million times. A vivid image, strong vocals and interesting songs made Dakota one of the most memorable in the show.

After "Factory" Dakota did not have enough money and support from friends, she was disappointed in Russian show business. Then the girl decided to end her career as a pop musician and engage exclusively in songwriting. 

Gradually Dakota disappears from the screens and creates an independent rock group Monroe. She does not hide her reason for leaving show business, declaring some injustice: 

Later, the rock band Monroe became a regular participant in the Kubana and Nashestvie festivals. Together with the group, the girl toured the country, collecting full houses in different regions of the country.

The singer chose her image to match the music - rather impudent and aggressive. Dreadlocks, bright makeup, tattoos - Dakota was even called the Russian Avril Lavigne. 

In 2015, Rita Dakota became a member of the Main Stage music project on the Russia-1 TV channel. Her mentor on the project was the famous producer Viktor Drobysh, who was in charge of the pop and pop-rock directions of the show. The singer performed exclusively her own songs, which helped her to reach the semifinals of the competition.

The greatest popularity is still not brought to the performer by participation in various competitions, but by the track "Half a Man", which was released in 2016. Immediately after the release of this composition, her fans were delighted with the new creation. It was this song that pushed Rita to work on new albums, audio recordings and clips.

In February 2017, information appeared in the media that Rita was seriously considering the possibility of leaving Russia. It can change cold and cloudy weather to the warmer oceanic climate in Bali. The famous singer really liked her vacation at the popular resort. On Instagram, the girl has repeatedly published a photo in a swimsuit on the beach of a beautiful island.

Rita Dakota realized that Bali became almost her home place: there she not only enjoys rest, but lives fully. 

At the TV show "Star Factory-7" Rita Dakota met a young musician Vlad Sokolovsky, who in the future will become her husband. The love story of Rita and Sokolovsky deserves special attention. The couple met in 2007 at the "Star Factory". Initially, they were good friends and even called each other "brother" and "sister".

At the seventh "Factory" Vlad Sokolovsky together with Dmitry Bikbaev creates a duet "BiS", which is becoming quite popular. The new team won first places in the charts of radio stations and famous music channels. The blue-eyed and blond Vlad became recognizable in Russian show business and gained a huge army of loving fans. At that time, Rita and Vlad had absolutely nothing in common, since they did not take part in projects together, and also only occasionally crossed paths at large social parties.

A few years later, at a mutual friend's birthday party, the young people met. Years passed, Rita and Vlad noticeably changed, matured and looked at each other differently. The romance between them developed rapidly, and soon they completely amazed their fans with the news of the upcoming wedding.

In 2015, a man proposed to his beloved while on holiday in Bali. Rita, after not very long deliberations, agreed to become his wife, and her first photo in a wedding dress appeared on Instagram. On June 3, 2015, the couple got married in one of the metropolitan churches, and five days later the lovers played a luxurious wedding.

In April 2017, the couple's friends revealed that Rita was pregnant. On October 23, 2017, Rita Dakota and Vlad Sokolovsky became parents. Rita gave birth to a girl in a Moscow maternity hospital, who was named Mia. Young parents talked about their emotions on a Youtube channel.

Rita and Vlad in 2018 continued to maintain their blog, in which they shared details of their personal lives and work. The young family showed footage of rehearsals, friendly gatherings, travels, shared joyful events (whether it be the payment of the mortgage or the first successes of Mia). The Sokolovskys gave the impression of a successful and ideal family.

In August 2018, fans were shocked by the news of the couple's breakup. Rita Dakota on her Instagram said that she was divorcing Vlad because of his numerous betrayals during the period from the wedding to the last days.

The girl expressed resentment due to the fact that a lot of mutual friends and relatives knew about her husband's infidelities. Moreover, many of them, including Sokolovsky's father, covered up Vlad's betrayal.

At the moment, the couple have already divorced. The divorce process was difficult to call simple, the division of property awaited them ahead of them, since Vlad refused to voluntarily leave everything to his wife and daughter. Dakota's interests were represented in court by Katya Gordon. According to Ekaterina, up to this point, she was performing the task of tacitly solving the problem. But the plans "to come to an agreement behind the scenes and in peace" did not materialize. Gordon blamed Sokolovsky for this, noting that it is difficult to trust "the one who lied so much." As a result, the newly acquired apartment of the ex-spouses was transferred to Mia, and Rita no longer has anything to do with the once family business (the Zharovnya network of grill bars).

Fortunately, the star's loneliness did not last long: soon Rita met a new love. The chosen one of the talented beauty was a colleague in the artistic department - director and clip maker Fedor Belogai.
