In the Mgoyan family, no one except Zara herself is associated with music or any other kind of art. But her musical abilities showed up early. The girl took her first steps in creativity at school age. An artistic 12-year-old girl with a good voice was noticed by the famous musician Oleg Kvasha. He invited Zarifa to sing some of his songs and realized that he was facing a future singer who would soon occupy her niche in the world of music and show business.

The compositions "Precisely Today" and "Juliet's Heart", proposed by Kvasha and sung by Zara, soon found themselves in the rotation of some radio stations in Russia and were remembered by many listeners. As it turned out, Zara's creative biography began with them. Soon, with the support of the same musician and producer Oleg Kvasha, the young performer took part in the Morning Star competition. She sang all the same 2 songs and made it to the final.

After participating and winning in the "Morning Star" Zara regularly becomes a participant in music competitions and festivals, including international ones. So, at the competition for young singers and musicians "Let the children laugh" Zarifa Mgoyan received the main prize. The competition was held in Egypt, followed by others. At the age of 16, Zara's first studio album, "Juliet's Heart", was released. Almost immediately after it there was a record called "Zara".

After leaving school (the girl graduated with a silver medal), she becomes a student at the St. Petersburg Academy of Theater Arts. Here another talent of Zara manifested itself: she made her debut on stage as an actress. In the early 2000s, the aspiring artist played the first roles in the productions of "Voices of the Gone Century", "The Idiot" and "Heavenly Swallows".

At the same time, Zara made her film debut, appearing in a cameo role in the film "By the name of the Baron ...". The debut was successful, and Zara was invited to appear in the film "Spetsnaz in Russian - 2". Later, a girl with an oriental appearance (Zara's height is 169 cm and a weight of 49 kg) appeared in the paintings "Favorsky", "Pushkin. The Last Duel ”and“ White Sand ”.

However, it was not theater and cinema, but music and singing that made Zara famous. In 2006, Zarifa Mgoyan became a member of the Star Factory - 6 project. The appearance on the central channel of Russia and the occupied 3rd place attracted great attention to the performer. And they also allowed her to sign a lucrative contract proposed by the famous producer Viktor Drobysh.

In 2007, the singer's album "Do not leave me alone" appeared. Soon Zara went on her first tour of the country. The success was accompanied by the emergence of a new hit "Heaven for two", recorded specifically for the picture "Code of the Apocalypse." Since then, Zara has been a regular guest of various television projects that are broadcast on Russian television channels.

Her joint performance with Dmitry Pevtsov on the show "Two Stars" becomes a star. Quite often Zara appears in the popular project "Property of the Republic", where she sings hits of the Soviet period.

In 2016, the artist's repertoire was replenished with another studio album "#Millimeters", director Alan Badoev created a clip for the song "Peace to your home" for Zara. The premiere of the album's compositions took place at the artist's recital at the State Kremlin Palace.

For the performance of the songs "For Her", "Disliked", "Amelie", "Leningrad", the singer became a laureate of the awards "Golden Gramophone", "Song of the Year". Awards were also given to the artist's duet compositions - the track "Love for an encore", performed together with Alexander Rosenbaum, and the hit "Sleeping Beauty", in the recording of which Stas Mikhailov participated. Later, Zara repeated her collaboration with Mikhailov, releasing the song "Divide the Sky".

In 2017, the ensemble with the Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli received the MUZ-TV award in the category "Best International Duet". Zara continued her collaboration with the Italian and took part in Il canto della terra concerts at the Theater of Silence in Tuscany and Celebrity Fight Night at the Roman Colosseum. Zara was also lucky to work on the same stage with the legend of the French scene Mireille Mathieu. The singers performed the hit “Under the Parisian Sky”.

The performer devotes a lot of effort to social activities, she collaborates with UNESCO, gives charitable concerts, oversees the ethnic international festival "Music of Our Hearts". In 2016, the Russian woman was awarded the honorary title of UNESCO Artist for Peace.

Having become famous, the singer and actress faced increased press attention to her person. I must say, the young performer did not like it very much. Zara's personal life was considered too closely, gossip and fiction appeared. Subsequently, according to the singer herself, this was the reason for the collapse of her first marriage.

Zara and Sergei Matvienko - the son of the ex-governor of St. Petersburg Valentina Matvienko - lived together for a year and a half. For the sake of this marriage, the performer converted to Orthodoxy. It would seem that nothing foreshadowed a sad ending, but not having time to properly savor the details of the newlyweds' life, tabloid publications soon got a new reason to talk about Zara and Sergey Matvienko.

What caused the divorce is not fully known. The singer herself blames the newspaper people for everything, but they say that the reason for the divorce of Zara and the banker Sergei Matvienko is that the husband demanded that the young wife quit her singing career and show business, devoting himself entirely to the family.

In early July 2016, Zara divorced her husband Sergei Ivanov. According to the singer herself, disagreements with her husband led to divorce, and divorce was the only way out of the current crisis in the relationship.

At the beginning of 2018, rumors about the novel of the singer and politician Leonid Slutsky began to spread on the Web.
