Yuliya Samoylova

A fragile girl with a shock of light brown hair, thin facial features and an angelic voice - this was the first time the viewers of the Factor A project saw Yulia Samoilova. The girl conquered everyone with the strength and beauty of her voice and character, because she left the stage in a wheelchair. The very prima donna of the Russian stage Alla Pugacheva shed a tear and gave a standing ovation. Even then, in 2013, many realized that Yulia Samoilova was only at the beginning of the journey - further glory awaited her.

Yulia Olegovna Samoilova was born in April 1989 in the Komi Republic. The future singer spent her childhood and youth in Ukhta. Julia's parents - Oleg and Margarita Samoilovs - were born in different parts of the Soviet Union, but met in the North.

The young family met with the difficulties of becoming typical of the late 80s. Oleg Samoilov, to support his family, worked as an installer, then as a miner. Margarita also tried different professions, being a waitress, hairdresser and seller in the market. Today the Samoilovs are successful in the construction business. In addition to Yulia, two more children were growing up in the family - son Zhenya and daughter Oksana.

In early childhood, Yulia Samoilova was a healthy child, as can be judged by the singer's childhood photos. Everything changed after an unsuccessful vaccination - the girl stopped getting up.

The doctors' forecasts horrified the parents: the doctors said that the baby would not live to be five years old. The treatment did not help and worsened Yulia's health: the baby was melting before our eyes. Then the parents wrote a refusal of treatment, and the daughter felt much better.

Neither a wheelchair, nor the first group of disabilities, nor the diagnosis "Verding-Hoffmann spinal amyotrophy" made by doctors at the age of 13 became an obstacle to creativity.

Julia Samoilova felt an interest in singing in early childhood. The girl still remembers her first performance: at the age of 4, Julia sang Tatyana Bulanova's song at the New Year's party, sitting on the lap of Santa Claus. The girl moved the listeners and the grandfather so much that he handed the granddaughter the main prize - the largest doll.

Since then, the creative biography of Yulia Samoilova began. At first, my mother was engaged in music with the little singer. When Yulia was 10 years old, she sang at a charity concert, which was held in her hometown. The song (the girl chose Valeria's hit "Airplane") was given the final number. After that, Samoilova began to study vocals at a professional level together with a talented teacher from the local Palace of Pioneers - Svetlana Valerievna Shirokova.

Since then, Yulia Samoilova has been a guest of various music competitions.

When Yulia turned 15, her favorite vocal teacher moved to another city. After that, the girl was engaged in creativity on her own. She developed a "fighting" character: Julia learned to put in place everyone who offended her. The parents taught the girl to defend her interests and never complain. Accompanied by her mother, Yulia Samoilova attended many competitions, participating on an equal basis with everyone and not counting on concessions due to disability.

Over the years, the number of victories of the young singer grew rapidly: Yulia Samoilova - Laureate of the regional competition "Silver Hoof-2002". In 2003, the young singer performed at the All-Russian festival "On the wings of a dream" in Moscow. In 2005, she won first place at the open interregional competition "Spring drops" and the second at the All-Russian competition "Shlyager-2005", which was held in Yekaterinburg.

Julia Samoilova sang wherever they wanted to listen to her. She especially liked rock: Julia put together a rock team, with which she performed for some time. But soon the girl realized that it was better to perform solo, and got a job as a singer in a restaurant. Samoilova's repertoire consisted of various compositions - from songs by Vladimir Vysotsky to chanson by Mikhail Krug. Soon the contingent of the restaurant changed: now shift workers and music lovers from all over the area came to listen to Yulia Samoilova. Reservation of tables in the institution began two months in advance.

But Julia wanted more than to sing in restaurants. The girl easily collected the main prizes at competitions, although at the same time it was transparently hinted to her that she would not be able to make a career in show business. There was a period when Julia Samoilova decided to quit singing and entered the university, choosing the faculty of psychology. Together with a young man, Samoilova opened an advertising company. But the emptiness that the vocalist felt when she quit singing, nothing could fill.

When Yulia Samoilova won the Grand Prix at a local competition reminiscent of the popular "Star Factory", the girl realized that it was not worth fighting with herself.

A real breakthrough in her career happened when Yulia Samoilova decided to take part in "Factor A". Pushed Julia to this step, parents and a loved one.

The girl went through the preliminary audition easily and got into the project. Already the first performance made a splash: Samoilova sang the heartfelt song "Prayer", before which she received instructions from Alla Pugacheva. Alla Borisovna said that Julia is obliged to "sing wow like, so as not to beat on pity." In the middle of the performance of the Prayer, judges Alla Pugacheva, Yuri Nikolaev, Lolita and Roman Yemelyanov did not sit still and listened to the song while standing.

On the project, Yulia Samoilova took second place, losing to rival Mali. Participation in a popular vocal show gave a powerful impetus to the girl's career, after which the singer no longer returned to her native Ukhta and remained in the capital. "Alla's Gold Star" - the award given to Yulia Prima Donna, turned out to be an incentive for further development.

Yulia Samoilova began to participate in various concerts in the capital and tour the country. But the biggest reward for the singer was an invitation to open the Winter Paralympics in Sochi with a song at the famous Fisht stadium. Julia sang the song "We Are Together", making millions of people who watched the events in Sochi cry.

After the song sung at the Olympic Games, the girl got a producer Alexander Yakovlev, whom she met at the "Factor A".

In 2016, Yulia Samoilova was invited as a special guest to the main musical show of the country "Golos", where she presented the premiere of the video "Live" with Russian pop stars, including Grigory Leps, Polina Gagarina, Garik Sukachev.

The process of recording the song by Igor Matvienko fell on a difficult period in Yulia's life. The girl just underwent a complex operation. Working on new musical material inspired Samoilova, and the singer quickly got into shape. Soon, a project of the same name was launched, the purpose of which was to help people in difficult life situations.

Samoilova was greatly impressed by her acquaintance with the rock-singer Olga Kormukhina, who invited her young colleague to take part in the Ostrov festival.

Now Julia is surrounded by many wonderful and talented people, including Alla Pugacheva, Roman Emelyanov, Lolita, Mikhail Terentyev, Olga Kormukhina, Aya, Maxim Desyuk and Gosha Kutsenko. Yulia Samoilova gladly accepted Gosha Kutsenko's offer to sing along with him the song “Don't Look Back”. This is a New Year's song for which a bright clip appeared.

Singing with Kutsenko, according to Samoilova, was not just easy - it turned out to be a real pleasure: the artists found a common language perfectly and gave the music lovers a surprisingly harmonious hit.

In March 2017, it became known that Yulia Samoilova with the hit "Flame Is Burning" became the representative of Russia at Eurovision in Ukraine.

According to some information, among the songwriters was Leonid Gutkin, the co-author of successful European songs for Polina Gagarina (Million Voices) and Dina Garipova (What If). The composition was co-authored by Natta Nimrodi and Arie Burstein - recognized experts who have given birth to more than one hit. The video for the song Flame Is Burning, which appeared on the Web, impressed many with touching tenderness.

As it turned out, Yulia Samoilova had been preparing for the competition for a long time, but the preparation was kept in strict secrecy, so the majority of those who heard the name of the contestant from Russia were surprised and even shocked.

The social media response has been mixed. There were those who considered the participation of a girl in a wheelchair in an international song contest to be the height of cynicism and a desire to "pity" the audience, especially in light of how the Ukrainian audience might meet a Russian contestant. They started talking about "speculation on forbidden methods."

But the majority greeted the news of Yulia's participation in Eurovision with admiration, because this girl really has no talent. The song Flame Is Burning, as soon as it appeared, took the eighth place in the bookmakers' bets. The head of the Russian delegation at the competition, Yuri Aksyuta, claimed that Yulia Samoilova was an original singer, a charming girl and an experienced contestant who would be able to win the hearts of millions.

However, at the end of March 2017, the Security Service of Ukraine announced a decision to ban the entry of the Russian Eurovision participant Yulia Samoilova into the territory of Ukraine. EBU made a proposal to broadcast Yulia Samoilova's speech from Moscow. But in response, Russia refused to participate in the competition.

In the same year, the singer's first album, entitled "To Live", was released, which also included a new musical composition "Suddenly a friend is near."

Julia Samoilova met a young man Alexei Taran on a social network. After a long correspondence, the young people phoned and, after talking for two hours in a row, met. Since then, the lovers have been living together for eight years: Julia and Alexei have a civil marriage.

Alexey Taran supports Yulia, who is two years older than him, and works as an administrator and tour manager, accompanying a talented lover everywhere. Thanks to the persistence of her common-law husband, Yulia Samoilova got into the Factor A project, which changed the singer's life. Even then, the audience noticed how touchingly Lesha held Yulia's hand and how he worried when she performed.

The personal life of Julia Samoilova was happy, despite all the obstacles. The singer claims that it is difficult for Lesha, because the girl's character is not easy. The young man understands music, he is artistic and well-read. Looking at this couple, you understand that the relationship in her is based on love and the deepest understanding. According to Julia and Alexei, they are thinking about getting married. The singer often attends church. In the fall of 2017, the girl became a godmother for the third time.

In addition to the official website of Yulia Samoilova, the singer's vlog “Weekdays on Wheels” is active on YouTube, in which the girl uploads short videos dedicated to the events of her life.

In connection with the incident that occurred at the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 - with the refusal of Yulia Samoilova to participate, Russia announced the singer as its representative at the 2018 contest. At the beginning of the year, Samoilova's new hit I Won't Break was released, which in just a few days collected 1 million views on the YouTube video hosting. The song was written by Leonid Gutkin, Natta Nimrodi and Arie Burshtein. Alexey Golubev worked on the direction of the video, he is also involved in staging the singer's concert performance.

The 2009 winner from Norway Alexander Rybak and the representative from Israel Netta Barzilai, who after performing the song Toy, were declared the favorite of the music competition, also submitted applications for participation in the competition.

The capital of Portugal has become the venue for an international competition for the first time, thanks to Salvador Sobral's first place and his performance of the song "Amar pelos dois". The first Eurovision tours took place on May 8-9 in Lisbon, the final on May 12, 2018.

Unfortunately, according to the results of the second semi-final, Yulia Samoilova did not make it to the final. The girl was very upset that she could not give her all 100 percent. After the performance, Julia closed in the dressing room and burst into tears, her husband was next to her. Later, Julia announced that she intends to take part in the competition again in the future and get to the final.
