Marina Devyatova (b. 1983) is a Russian singer who performs folk songs.

Happy childhood

Marina was born in Moscow on December 13, 1983. The family in which the girl was born was creative. Dad, Devyatov Vladimir Sergeevich, People's Artist of Russia, performed Russian folk songs. Mom, Natalya Nikolaevna, worked as a choreographer. By that time, the eldest daughter was already growing up in the family.

Dad instilled in Marina a love of music from birth. Moreover, he not only sang Russian folk songs to her, but also set to listen to the music of such groups as The Beatles and Deep Purple, works of the classics. By the age of three, the baby could sing and had a sense of rhythm, and dad loved to record her performances on a tape recorder. Marina's sister was already studying at a music school and knew how to play the piano quite well. At family holidays, they arranged concerts at which the eldest girl accompanied the musical instrument and the little one sang songs.

Despite her passion for singing, in early childhood, Marina dreamed of becoming a salesman, she liked to play in the store. On the typewriter in the house, she deftly tapped the keys, issuing receipts for the purchase of everything that was at hand: lipstick, perfume and nail polish from my mother’s nightstand, sweets and cookies, jars and bottles of kitchen table. So, along with the musical, the talent of an entrepreneur woke up in the child.

When the girl was five years old, her parents divorced, and now her mother was mainly engaged in raising her daughter. Dad had another family, and Marina saw him very rarely. Despite this, Devyatova considers her childhood very happy, because it was Soviet, sincere and real, with trips to children's camps and vacations with her grandmother in the village.

Mom, seeing her daughter's singing talent, enrolled her in a music school.
Since 1990, Marina began her studies at the Shostakovich Music School in the department of choral conducting. Only her grandfather was against the fact that the girl would connect her future life with creativity. He worked for a long time as a military prosecutor and dreamed of seeing an accomplished lawyer in his granddaughter.

Studies

At first, the girl herself did not show any special attraction to musical training, even at some point she called the piano plywood and threatened to break it into firewood. But after many years, she is grateful to her mother that she still insisted on her daughter's music lessons.

After graduating from school in 1999 and having received the specialty of an academic conductor, Marina became a student at the Schnittke College of Music. Her further training took place at the Department of Folk Solo Singing.

For the first time, Marina entered the real stage when she was 14 years old. In the huge concert hall "Russia" was the performance of her father. Together with her dad, the girl sang the song "River-River". This little appearance of her on stage later played a fateful role in Devyatova's life. Almost two thousand spectators looked at the girl from the audience, she was literally charged with their energy. It was at that moment that Marina realized that she wanted to connect her life only with the stage.

In 2001, the All-Russian competition of folk song performers was held in Voronezh, Marina Devyatova became its laureate.

"Indrik the Beast"

When the girl was in her fourth year, she met Artyom Vorobyov, who by that time had founded and was the head of the Indrik-Zver musical group. They were engaged in the performance of old Slavic and Russian songs, while giving them a modern processing in the direction of rock. Artyom invited Marina to try her hand at his ensemble as a soloist, to which the young girl gave a positive answer.

The musicians of the Indrik-Zver group traveled to villages and villages, where they collected material for their work, then gave the collected folklore a fatal arrangement with the help of ethnic wind instruments. Having traveled with the team through the primordially Russian lands, Marina was so saturated with the national spirit and color that she could no longer imagine her future life without performing Russian songs.

Speaking in a team, Devyatova managed to graduate from Schnittke College and enter the Gnessin Russian Academy of Music in 2003. The faculty chose the same as in college - folk solo singing. Among studies and performances, Marina found time to take part in the International Song Festival "Slavianski Bazaar". She graduated from the Devyatova Academy in 2008.

Project "People's Artist-3"

On the creative path of the aspiring singer, there were many opponents of the folk genre who openly declared that her songs were not a format. Marina really wanted to prove that this was not so, and she decided to participate in the People's Artist-3 project. In this show, she not only proved to everyone that folk songs have the right to exist, Marina revealed to the audience all the beauty and depth of such music, but she herself gained popularity, fame and love of millions, taking second place in the project. Particularly impressive was the composition "It could be love", which Devyatova performed in a duet with Alexei Goman. Even strict critics agreed that this song showed how well folk music combines with pop music.

After the project, Devyatova began a stormy touring life. They wanted to see and listen to the singer in many cities of Russia.

During the filming of "People's Artist-3", Marina met her current producer Yevgeny Fridlyand, who offered the girl a contract with his production center. Especially for Devyatova, composer Kim Breitburg and poet Karen Kavaleryan composed the composition "I am fire, you are water." This song performed by her has become so popular and successful that, in fact, it is now the singer's hallmark.

Recognition, love and glory

In addition to her country, Marina has become a coveted performer abroad. With the show ballet "YAR-Dance", which works on stage during her performances, Devyatova traveled to Estonia and Bulgaria, France and Latvia, South Korea and Laos, Vietnam and Mongolia, Italy and China, to the USA, several times went to German-Russian festival in Berlin. The Evening Moscow newspaper even called Marina an "ambassador of Russian culture."

In addition to solo performances, Devyatova often sings in a duet, her partners were such eminent singers as:

• Nikolay Baskov;
• Barbara;
• Peter Dranga;
• Dato;
• Alexander Buynov;
• Pyatnitsky Choir;
• Italian artist Albano.

With the famous humorist Svyatoslav Yeshchenko, Marina performed several comic folk songs.

Devyatova became not only an ambassador, but also the face of Russia at many significant events.

During the ceremony of choosing the capital of the Olympic Games, Marina Devyatova was lucky to talk with Russian President Vladimir Putin. For herself, she called him a X-ray man, Vladimir Vladimirovich had a very difficult and piercing look, the impression was that he knew everything and everyone. At the same time, one could feel how deeply patriotic he was. Marina remembered these three days spent in Guatemala for the rest of her life, and when they announced the capital of future games Russian city Sochi, there was an inexpressible joy and a feeling that Russia had already won this Olympics.

Her program "I'll go, I'll go out" was presented to the audience in the fall of 2009 on the stage of the Moscow State Variety Theater.

In 2013, the singer turned 30 years old and she timed her solo concert at the State Central Concert Hall "Russia" to this event, the program was called "On my birthday with love."

2014 in the creative life of Marina Devyatova was marked by another small anniversary: ​​15 years on stage, which was marked by the concert “Symphony of my soul”.

Marina loves to host friends and cook all sorts of goodies for them, but only infrequently she manages to arrange such gatherings.

Devyatova was repeatedly invited to act in films, but so far she has refused such offers, as she cannot afford to drop out of concert activity for a long time.

Marina maintains her excellent physical shape with the help of regular fitness classes. He prefers to rest in Asian countries.

Another hobby, one might even say passion, in Devyatova's life is driving a car. She manages the car perfectly and has a fairly long driving experience.

Marina is not yet married, she had romantic relationships with young people, but, unfortunately, they have not yet ended with a wedding. The main goal and dream of the singer is ordinary, human, female: to create a family and give birth to children.

The girl sees the secret of her success in the fact that she does her business honestly and with great love. Marina is sure that people will never stop listening to Russian songs:

“After all, they contain all the salt of the Russian land, all the traditions accumulated over the centuries, in these songs the incomprehensible and mysterious soul of the Russian people. Russian songs are kind, noble and sincerely patriotic”.

Two definitions are most suitable for Marina's childhood: happy and musical. Although her parents broke up when the girl was still quite a baby, both her mother and father constantly surrounded her with love and care. Marina did not have the feeling of an incomplete family, especially since her parents continued to treat each other with mutual respect.

The creative atmosphere in which the girl was from birth could not but affect her personality. Quality music often sounded in the house. Marina's father, Vladimir Devyatov, was awarded the title of People's Artist of Russia for his creativity and virtuoso performance of Russian folk songs. Mother was a sought-after and accomplished choreographer.

Thus, from the first days of her life, Marina was surrounded by two amazing world- Music and dance.

Contrary to the popular belief that nature rests on the children of talented parents, Marina showed her musical and creative abilities very early. Like all kids, she sang songs along with the heroes of her favorite cartoons. But parents were amazed that she perfectly felt the rhythm and almost always hit the right notes.

Naturally, the father made every effort to develop his daughter's talent. He began to instill in her a love not only for folk, but also for foreign quality music.

Years of study

Marina, like many children, started learning to play the piano at the insistence of her parents. It was very difficult for a mischievous and nimble girl to sit in one place, repeating hated scales for hours.

But she always loved to sing. And for games, and even for performing homework often sang something. Often, together with her sister, she arranged small home concerts for any reason and even without it. We can say that since childhood she dreamed of a big stage.

Studying in two schools at the same time was difficult. Marina even sometimes tried to rebel and quit the prestigious music school in which her parents arranged her.

However, she really enjoyed any performances, and only for the sake of the stage did she put up with quite large loads. Therefore, by the time the final exams approached, there were practically no doubts about the choice of profession.

Although not all relatives supported the girl in her passion for music. Her grandfather, a retired military man, insisted on a more practical profession. He really wanted to see Marina as a lawyer or lawyer. But the father began to take the grown girl to his concerts, giving her the opportunity to feel the atmosphere of the big stage. And this turned out to be decisive. Marina decided to continue her musical education.

First steps

After leaving school, Marina enters a music college to study solo folk singing. She studies diligently, develops rapidly and even wins a prize in 2001 for participating in a vocal competition. However, having been brought up on a variety of music, she already then begins to think about how to connect folk music with more modern trends.

Shortly before graduating from college, she gets such a chance. She meets the organizer and leader of the original musical group "Indrik the Beast". The guys perform ethnic music in modern processing, organically mixing rock, wind instruments and other seemingly incompatible styles.

But in those years, pop-folk was not yet very popular, and Marina's dream of filled huge concert halls still seemed unattainable. However, she continued to develop and work in this genre, and also continued her studies at the Gnessin Conservatory.

With their "non-format" music, the team even decided to appear on the stage of the "Slavianski Bazaar", where they were very warmly received by the audience.

New star

The lucky star of Marina Devyatova caught fire at the moment when she independently decided to try her hand at the TV project "People's Artist". With extraordinary ease, Marina managed to overcome the casting and the first rounds of the competition, and then become its finalist.

Now she remembers the project as an excellent school of performing arts. Although at the time when she was in the thick of things, everything was seen differently. It turned out that big show business has many pitfalls, the existence of which she did not even suspect.

However, whatever doesn't kill us makes us stronger. The competition hardened Marina and greatly improved her professional level. And, of course, he brought a lot of new useful acquaintances and a contract with the promoted production center of Yevgeny Fridlyand, from which, in fact, the young performer's rapid rise began. The whirlpool of events swirled the singer, and she completely plunged into filming, concerts, and tours.

Kim Breitburg's song "I am fire, you are water" recorded at the project still remains the singer's musical calling card. Although since then many other equally incendiary and memorable songs have been written and presented to the audience.

By the way, after the first successful experience of working in a duet with Alexei Goman on the song “It could be love”, the singer began to practice such performances with other famous artists.

Devyatova today

Devyatova, after a long search, finally singled out for herself exactly the niche in which she was able to fully realize her creative potential. She performed folk songs in a bright and stylish modern arrangement, but at the same time she was not like any of their already well-known performers working in this genre: and other popular artists.

This is what quickly made her work recognizable and loved by the audience.

Quite quickly after the start of her career, Devyatova became famous far beyond the borders of the CIS. Today she successfully tours in Europe, the USA and even Asia, popularizing the Russian song. A real triumph for the singer was the honor to perform the song "Katyusha" at the ceremony of choosing the capital of the Winter Olympics, which she had to repeat 8 times - the enthusiastic audience stubbornly did not let the artist go.

Quite often, Devyatova has to speak to the heads of other states and other dignitaries visiting Russia. To some extent, it can be called a modern symbol of Russian song and folk traditions.

She easily collects huge halls and continues to successfully develop further in the chosen direction. Putin also repeatedly spoke approvingly of the work of the young performer.

Personal life of Marina Devyatova

The personal life of the singer is mostly behind the scenes. No wonder. Marina is a tall person moral principles. She has been a staunch vegetarian for many years now. He often meditates, listens to spiritual music, constantly works on himself. After meeting the Hare Krishnas, she became interested in this religious direction and began to practice it.

The singer has no children. And with personal relationships, everything is quite difficult. Her loved one tragically passed away a few years ago from cancer, and Marina was very upset by the loss. After recovering from the blow, she maintained a close relationship with singer Nikolai Demidov for some time, but the couple broke up.

In 2011, Marina took a fresh look at her friend, Alexei Pigurenko, the founder of YogaBoga. Five years later, in 2016, young people got married, and already in February 2017, Marina became a mother. She had a daughter, Ulyana. Parents affectionately call the baby "Boboy" and share her photos on the Web.

With Alexey Pigurenko

A month after the birth of her daughter, the tireless performer returned to work in the project “Laughing is allowed”, performed at the evening in memory of Valery Obodzinsky in the Kremlin and went on a solo tour of Russia.

At the beginning of 2019, Marina Devyatova celebrates her 20th anniversary on stage with a series of solo performances and promises her audience surprises at concerts, which she announced on her official page on Vkontakte.

Failed husband of Marina Devyatova, so frightened of responsibility, and so desperately fighting for his never developing career as a singer, that he gives out interviews right and left about the couple's life together. He claims that he was not going to marry Marina, that he was not ripe for a serious relationship and is still at the stage of becoming himself as a person. Therefore, it would be foolish, in his opinion, to burden oneself with a family, and even more so with children. But he admits that he considered the artist as a springboard and was extremely disappointed when, instead of a crazy career growth, she invited him to go to the registry office.

Devyatova responds harshly to this: “What, Kolya is now in the making as a man? And this at the age of 25? .. Seriously, I thought that Nikolai would still turn out to be a man in absolutely everything and would not advertise our relationship in the press. I hoped that Kolya would have the brains to leave everything between us, because this is a private matter of two people. It seems to me that he did this because he could not be realized as a singer. Only he does not understand one thing: no work and no show business will ever replace normal, human relationships for him ... I sincerely want to wish Nikolai creative success and hope that his concept of a lonely prince will bring him good luck!

According to the couple's acquaintances, this is the only way this relationship could end. After all, Demidov is not a serious person and, in fact, is still a child. And Marina behaved with him like a caring mother. Therefore, not having received what he wanted, the guy simply made his legs, accusing the singer of excessive activity and authority.

The girl, in turn, considered Nikolai a romantic nature, capable of deeds. She did not believe that he could betray her and calculated them life together years ahead.

And her creative path, by her own admission, she began in a village near Kashira, where she came to her grandfather. She hung out an announcement about her own performance on the well and arranged a real concert right on the street. And today, outside the city, the young singer prefers to relax and increasingly dreams of her own dacha.

Countryside is for the soul

Marina, you are a native Muscovite, you live and work in the city. Where do you rest?

Moscow is more suitable for work. And it’s more comfortable for me to relax outside the city, where after work I can find solitude, enjoy the silence, the singing of birds. It’s as if two personalities are combined in me: on the one hand, I can fly in business class and enjoy expensive restaurants, and on the other, I really like it when products from my garden are on the table, all my own, natural, when everything is cooked in real Russian stove or in a pot on a fire. I also like when you can eat with your hands - it's so delicious!

Of course, life outside the city is more measured, so sometimes when you arrive there with your “tousled” head, the calmness is annoying at first: you think why no one is in a hurry, where are the phones, where is the Internet? And people live by other values. And you gradually get used to it, calm down and understand that this is the real thrill.

Steam room, broom and felt hat

What do you like to do away from civilization?

I love the bath, although there is an opinion that it is harmful for vocalists, - along with the body, the ligaments are also steamed. Of course, because of the tour, I often have no time to visit the bathhouse, and I miss it, for the real one ... with a steam room, a broom, a felt hat, I really want to relax both in body and soul. And I also like to just wander through the forest, there is a special energy.

Can you be seen in the garden?

Of course, I am not an avid gardener, but I can help: weed something, for example. Although at the same time I immediately warn everyone that I am a responsible lady and the field is of high quality: in the heat of the moment I can not distinguish a weed from something that is not worth pulling out. (Laughs.) I like to plant flowers myself, even fans give me garden flowers at concerts. And as a child, I loved dragging hay with my grandfather.

Cheerful village life

Does your family have a cottage?

At the moment, I don’t have a dacha, but before that I often went to a small village, near Kashira, where there were only ten houses. There my creative path began: I arranged concerts, gathered local residents, posted an announcement on the well that I would have a performance. And like a real artist, she always took a lot of things there, grandpa even joked with me: “Well, why are you in one dress in the morning, in another at lunch, and in the third in the evening?” Such was the cheerful village life.

I would love to have a cottage. I have a desire not only to be closer to nature, but also to unite the family, because where else can children go? Of course, to the parents to the country! I have been nurturing this idea for a long time, and someday it will come true for me.

Mom from childhood taught me self-sufficiency

Marina, your latest album is called "I'm happy", can you call yourself happy?

I can't call myself a 100% happy person. We women are always missing something. How can I call myself happy if I have not yet realized myself as a mother and wife? But I'm happy in terms of creativity. There is an opportunity to travel around the country, to see smiling faces in the hall, to hear words of gratitude when after a concert people come for an autograph and just to talk.

In one of your interviews, you called yourself a careerist, while you want a family, how do these two things get along in you?

By my qualities, I am a leader and a careerist, but this does not mean that I have no desire to become a mother. Of course, I am aware that I will not be an ordinary mother, a kind of “hen”, but I will try my best to raise my child in love, in a full-fledged family where there is a mother and father, and I will devote all my free time to him.

My desire to make a career is explained simply: when my parents divorced, my mother often told me: Marina, you must be independent, you must be strong.

It is not right?

In my opinion, not really. A woman must be dependent, that is why she marries, that is, she follows her husband. And we have everything upside down.

Children should be happy and loved

Then what do you want to instill in your future children?

I understand that it will not be easy for me, but I will try to raise my children in such a way that they are guided by true values, be happy and loved and know how to give their feelings to people. I don't want them to think only about how much money they have in their pocket. It seems to me that many parents develop large complexes in their children, arguing that it is imperative to study in the UK or, at worst, at Moscow State University, have a degree and, as the goal of all life, is to create your own business. All children are different, each has its own talents, its own way.
