Svetlana Gaiman

Linda can be safely attributed to the number of the most extraordinary and eccentric singers in Russia. The bright and catchy songs of the young performer were a reflection of the turning point of the nineties. Unusual lyrics combined with subtle melody contained deep meaning and amazed listeners. Linda deservedly won her place among the best Russian artists, enriching the music with fresh and unusual sound.

The real name of the spectacular performer is Svetlana Gaiman. She was born on April 29, 1979 in the Kazakh city of Kentau. The future star went to school in her hometown, but when she was in the second grade, her parents decided to move to Togliatti. The family stayed in the new place only for several years. In Togliatti, the girl managed to finish only the middle classes. Svetlana was an ordinary child, so no one even suspected that she would become a star.

At the age of 15, Svetlana moved with her parents to live in Moscow. It was here that she became interested in music and theatrical art. Thus, the girl became a private visitor to the Hermitage Theater, in which a folk art group acted. The future singer tried to master the basics of stage skills, and Yuri Galperin became her teacher.

Nevertheless, Svetlana grew up as a single child. In connection with private moves, the girl lost many friends, and it was difficult to make new ones. Linda was shocked that her peers drink beer, smoke and swear. Moreover, at first, even the cars surprised her, because there was practically no mechanical transport in her hometown. Soon she left the theater, but she did not lose interest in art.

In 1993, the future singer entered the famous State School. Gnesins. Svetlana Gaiman managed to overcome the competition and get into the vocal department. Linda's mentor was Vladimir Khachaturov, who over the years of his teaching career discovered more than one talent. He saw great potential in an unusual student and invited her to participate in music competitions.

On the advice of her teacher, Svetlana took part in the Generation competition (Jurmala) and even made it to the final. She captivated the judges and the audience with her charisma and extraordinary performance. But Linda's main achievement was that she was able to hit Yuri Aizenshpis. The famous producer offered the girl cooperation and opened the door to the world of show business for her.

At first, Linda collaborated with two composers - Vitaly Okorokov and Vladimir Matetsky. With their help such songs of the young artist as "Playing with Fire" and "Non-Stop" were created. The very first video for the song "Playing with Fire" demonstrated the singer's unique style. Linda was also lucky with the director of the video, because the famous Fyodor Bondarchuk played this role.

Linda's collaboration with Yuri Aizenshpis did not last long, and soon she began working with the talented arranger and composer Maxim Fadeev. This union turned out to be unusually fruitful, because thanks to it, the Russian stage was enriched by a unique artist and successful producer.

The first album of an aspiring singer was released in 1994 and was called Songs of Tibetan Lamas. Olga Dzusova (as a backing vocalist) and Yulia Savicheva (in the composition "Do this") took part in the preparation of the album. The album was promoted by the Crystal Music label. In addition, Linda received serious support from the Europa Plus radio station.

The circulation of this album was 250 thousand copies and was quickly sold out. But critics gave a mixed assessment of the achievements of the young singer. Many emphasized not the best vocal abilities of Linda, but appreciated her energy and non-standard style.

The real celebrity brought Linde an album under the bright name "Crow" (1996). Unique instruments were used for its recording and unusual musicians were invited. Thus, the children's choir "Kalinka" and the choir of grandmothers from Scotland participated in the creation of the disc.

The result really exceeded all expectations, and amazed the listeners with its originality. Dark colors and cold sounding turned out to be surprisingly bewitching and attractive for the listeners. Almost every inhabitant of the post-Soviet countries knew the line "I am a crow" from the composition consonant with the name of the album. About 1.5 million copies of this album were sold, which brought a considerable income to the performer.

The recording of new songs was accompanied by numerous scandals. So, after the release of the video "Marijuana" in one of the Moscow newspapers there was a message about the death of Linda. This information was repeated by the popular radio station, reporting on the singer's drug overdose. But Linda never really drank, smoked, and never tried drugs.

At this time, the singer was in the hospital, where she was being treated for bronchitis. Later, Linda had to refute the speculation and reassure her fans. In response to rumors about drugs, the performer asked to listen to her composition "Marijuana" and pay attention to the words - "Don't take it!"

In 1997, Linda released a collection of dance remixes called The Crow. Remix. Remake ". He became a sensation in the dance music of Russia. In addition, the artist gave concerts in many cities of Russia and abroad. Each performance attracted tens and even hundreds of thousands of fans.

So, in 1997, Linda performed with Maxim Fadeev in Kiev. About 400 thousand spectators came to their concert, which was a record for Russian artists. In general, from 1994 to 1998, the talented performer became the "Singer of the Year" nine times, which, of course, was a recognition of her talent.

In 1998, Max Fadeev decided to move to Germany and only occasionally returned to Russia to work with Linda. Their new achievement was an album called "Placenta" (1999), which had a number of features. The new disc combines such genres as downtempo, dub, trip-hop and jungle. The image of the singer also changed - she dyed her hair a fiery red color and began to dress in even more eccentric outfits.

In the same year, the video "Look from the Inside" was released, during the filming of which Linda broke her rib. The clip turned out to be so provocative that the censorship did not let it through. Only after significant changes was the project presented to the public, but it caused many unflattering remarks. The singer was called "vampires" and was accused of copying Merlin Manson.

At the end of 1999, the last joint work of Linda and Maxim Fadeev appeared - the composition "White on White". There were often disagreements between the two creative people, which were superimposed on financial problems. This was the reason for the termination of long and successful cooperation.

This was followed by other works of Linda, which showed that the singer became more creative in terms of freedom. So, in the album "Vision" (2001), the artist appeared before the audience more vital and real. But the assessments of critics were ambiguous: some declared that the performer had reached a new height, while others saw only a miserable attempt to repeat Fadeev's creations.

In 2002, Linda signed a contract with the Universal Music company, and also met the singers Lyubasha and Mara, who were involved in the creation of several of her compositions. In 2004, the premiere of the fifth studio album of the famous singer called "Attack" took place. His first single was the song "Chains and Rings", written by Mara especially for Linda.

The next changes in the singer's work occurred after she began to collaborate with the producer and composer Stefanos Korkolis. He specialized in ethnic music and worked with world-class stars: Mylene Farmer, Metallica, Peter Gabriel and others. The result of their joint work was the album AleAda (2006), which combined classical and Greek traditions. Only the unique style of the performer and her bright shows remained unchanged.

In 2008, Linda presented the album "Skor-Peony", which turned out to be more dynamic and powerful in comparison with her previous works. He recorded in Greece, France and the United States for a year and a half. But after the presentation concert and the release of the video "5 minutes" the singer disappears. Rumors began to spread that Linda had decided to change her pseudonym and would no longer perform in Russia.

In fact, in 2008, the star moved to Greece, where she continued to do what she loved. She has given concerts, composed music for performances, and contributed to the music for the Special Olympics (2011, Athens).

Linda returned to Russia with a concert program only in 2012. Together with Korkolis, she created the Bloody Faeries project. Within its framework, the album "Acoustics by Bloody Faeries" was released. In addition, with rappers Fike & Jambazi and ST, Linda recorded new versions of the compositions "Little Fire" and "Marijuana".

In 2013, the studio album "LAY, @!" Was released. It was critically acclaimed and voted Best Album of the Year by MusicBox. In 2014, the album "Lai, @!" (Deluxe version), supplemented by the single "Good song" and a new version of the song "My hands".

Although Linda's former glory has already passed, the singer continues to do what she loves. So, in 2015, the presentation of the album entitled "Pencils and Matches" took place in the Moscow club. Its sound producer was the legendary Hayden Bendall, who worked with Tina Turner, Paul McCartney, Queen and others.

The year 2015 was marked by the presentation of a video for the song "Everyone is ill". His high quality and inimitable style were highly appreciated by listeners and critics. During 2016, the video was in rotation on many music channels in Russia. Also in September 2016, the single "Torture Chamber" was released, based on the poems of Ilya Kormiltsev.

Немного найдётся знаменитостей, которые так тщательно скрывают свою личную жизнь. Однако известно, что в 2012 году Линда вышла замуж за своего продюсера Стефаноса Корколиса. Они встречались на протяжении семи лет, поэтому их брак действительно был основан на глубоких чувствах. У звёздной пары так и не появилось детей. Семья периодически жила в Греции и России, где певица успевала трудиться над созданием новых композиций и наслаждаться семейной жизнью.

But this marriage was short-lived and in 2014 Linda and Korkolis broke up. Their romantic relationship turned out to be longer than legal marriage. The singer painfully took the break with her husband. In 2015, as a guest, she participated in the "Battle of Psychics" (season 16). During the program, one of its members, Marilyn Kerro, said that Linda, even a year later, did not recover after the divorce.

Now Linda continues to give concerts in many cities of Russia. As before, Linda pleases her fans with non-standard music, deep lyrics and amazing charisma. On her Instagram page, the singer often uploads photos, which once again prove that Linda is the embodiment of outrageousness.

Linda starts 2019 with the presentation of the singles "Cracks" and "Lay Me Near". Simultaneously with each single, a clip is released for it. The presentation of "Cracks" takes place in the greenhouse of the Apothecary Garden, and "Lay Me Nearby" is at the Moscow fashion show. At the same time, Linda launches the sale of designer robes, timed to coincide with the "Cracks". The singles will be included in the singer's new album, the release date of which remains unknown.
