Oksana Gritsay

Performer Mika Newton blew up the stage at one time. Many events took place in her musical biography, the main one of which was a trip to the Eurovision Song Contest in 2011.

Oksana Stefanovna Gritsai, aka Mika Newton, was born on March 5, 1986 in the city of Burshtyn, Ivano-Frankovsk region in the Ukrainian SSR. The girl grew up in a complete family, her mother Olga Gritsai worked as a nurse, and her father Stefan Gritsai served as director of the service station.

The girl's father was a guitarist in the group in his youth, and her great-grandfather learned to play the violin on his own, he often performed as a guest musician at weddings. Oksana performed on stage at the age of 9.

The girl graduated from a music school in piano and at the same time studied vocals. Little Oksana took part in contests all over Ukraine, and in 1996 her first disc was released - a collection of children's songs.

In 2001, the girl entered the Kiev State College of Variety and Circus Arts, in the department of pop vocal. In parallel with the training, the performer was engaged in karate, because she has firm convictions that any girl must be able to defend herself. Oksana's older sister Lilia, who served in the army, has always been an example to follow.

At the age of 16, Oksana won the Black Sea Games festival of young talents in the city of Skadovsk. The young winner drew the attention of producer Yuri Falyosa, with whom she signed a contract in 2002. The producer immediately came up with an exclusive pseudonym for the aspiring performer - Mika Newton. The name "Mika" is borrowed from foreign performers, and as for "Newton" - the word is formed from the phrase new tone, translated from English - a new tone.

Ukrainian TV channels refused to broadcast the video for one of the first songs of the singer "Run away" for ethical reasons. The video showed the country's problems openly. This prompted the producer to shoot a video for the song "Anomaly", which brought Mika his first popularity. Filming of clips in 2005 for the songs "Lunopark" and "In Captivity" took place in Moscow.

The debut album was released in 2005 under the title Anomaly. Work on the second album "Warm River" began almost immediately. Once Mika auditioned for Potap's partner, but Nastya Kamensky was preferred to her.

Mika Newton does not give up her studies and continues to develop. In 2007, the performer went to study at the Guildford Academy in England. A year later, the singer returned and participated in the "New Wave" in Jurmala.

The performer's hits became soundtracks for popular films and TV series: "From 180 and above", "Kadetstvo", "I fly" and "Kremlin cadets". Moreover, Mika Newton starred in the films "Life by surprise" in 2006 and "Money for Daughter" in 2008.

The clip "White Horses" was filmed with the participation of Alexander Golovin, known at the time as cadet Maxim Makarov. The actor specially flew to Kiev to shoot a video. Mika Newton also met the Ranetki group on the TV series Kadetstvo. In 2010, the singer broke off working relations with the producer with a scandal, having sued the right to a pseudonym and repertoire.

In 2011 Mika Newton was honored to represent Ukraine at the prestigious Eurovision Song Contest. The tender composition "Angel" was chosen for the performance in Dusseldorf.

The performer performed well and took 4th place, gaining 159 points and becoming a favorite of the foreign press. For a long time, journalists discussed the "angelic outfit" and the singer's original act, in which Ksenia Simonova helped her with sand animation.

Mickey Newton's success did not leave indifferent almost anyone, including ill-wishers. For example, Ksenia Simonova was extremely offended that attention was directed only to Mika and all the laurels went to the performer.

It is worth mentioning that three performers fought for the right to represent the country in 2011: Mika Newton, Zlata Ognevich and Jamala. Newton's victory caused a stormy press response.

After Eurovision, Mika Newton left for California. At first, the girl planned to live there until 2013, but the circumstances were different. The singer was still working with Timofey Nagorny at that time, but wanted to collaborate with the popular American producer - Randy Jackson. Miku was invited to record the album, as the girl admits, she did not disappear anywhere, but expanded her own capabilities.

The singer starred in commercials, taught vocals and went to auditions.

The singer always tried to avoid questions about her personal life. In 2008, the girl met a singer from Germany - Simon Nowski, young people started dating. But everyone had their own schedule, the artists lived in different countries, therefore, unable to withstand the constant tests, the couple broke up.

In 2012, journalists talked about the novel by Mickey Newton and Alexei Chadov, but the young people did not comment on these rumors in any way. Fans and the press themselves concluded from the photographs in which the actor and singer constantly hugged that the couple was still together.

Mika met her current boyfriend at a grocery store. For a whole year, he sought a date with the singer. Recently, on March 20, 2018, National Proposal Day, it became known that Mika Newton was getting married. This information was published by the artist herself in the official account of the social network "Instagram".

Mika says that she and a photographer friend came to her favorite restaurant. The place was empty, there was only her boyfriend Chris Saavedra with his mother and sister. The lover even contacted the artist's parents via Skype so that they could watch the events taking place. Chris knelt down and made Mika Newton a marriage proposal, to which the girl, of course, agreed.

The singer left her home country in 2011, after the end of the Eurovision Song Contest in Dusseldorf. Now the girl lives in America and does not plan to return to Ukraine. According to Mika, she completely rethought and changed her life after the scandalous participation in Eurovision 2011.

Back in 2014, Newton dreamed of fans, concerts and a duet with Justin Timberlake. But already in 2016 Mika admitted that she did not need it. Judging by Instagram, the girl earns mainly through advertising for various brands.
