Albina Dzhanabaeva is an actress, singer, composer, mother and one of the most beautiful women in the CIS. The girl became famous thanks to her participation in the musical group "VIA Gra". But in the biography of the singer there are many other interesting projects. For example, she signed a contract with a Korean theater.
And although the singer has not been a member of the VIA Gra group for a long time, the name of Alina Dzhanabaeva continues to be associated with this particular musical group.
Childhood and youth of Alina Dzhanabaeva
Albina Dzhanabaeva is not the singer's creative pseudonym, but her real name. She was born on November 9, 1979 in the provincial town of Volgograd.
Later, Albina's family moved to the working settlement of Gorodishche. Albina is not the only child in the family, besides her, her parents raised two more children.
The celebrity's parents had nothing to do with creativity. Mom worked as an employee of the Volgograd radio measuring plant "Akhtuba". In addition, she also had to earn extra money as a seller.
Albina's father was Kazakh by nationality. He held the position of a geologist and constantly took his daughter with him on expeditions.
Albina Dzhanabaeva said that she really liked going on expeditions with her dad. At his work, the girl felt completely grown up. Her father trusted her to sample the soil.
Dzhanabaeva's parents divorced immediately after they put their children on their feet. Albina recalls that from childhood she was forced to raise her younger brother and sister.
In one of the interviews, Albina, with tears in her eyes, told that she was responsible for her brother and sister in the global sense of the word.
Despite the excessive workload, Albina was an excellent student at school. She studied at the music school in the piano class and studied vocals.
Albina Dzhanabaeva could become a geologist or an actress
Dad dreamed that his daughter would build a career as a geologist. But Albina, after graduating from school, announced that she was leaving for Moscow to build a career as an actress.
The father was categorically against the decision of his daughter. He believed that a girl from a simple family could not independently build a career as an actress, and there was no place for a “simple woman” in Moscow. Due to the fact that the father did not support his daughter, they quarreled, and did not communicate for a long time.
At the age of 17, Alina went to the capital of the Russian Federation. She dreamed of becoming a student of the famous Gnesinka. At the entrance exams, Dzhanabaeva told the famous Krylov's fable.
The girl was enrolled in the institute, but not the first time. She had to work hard before becoming part of a prestigious educational institution.
Since Dzhanabaeva was from a modest family, she was not able to rent a house in the capital. She settled in a hostel.
Alina had to work hard - she starred in commercials, extras, worked as a model. And, of course, she did not forget about her studies at the institute.
After receiving a diploma at Gnesinka, Albina Dzhanabaeva signed a 4-month contract to work in Korea. The future star got a chance to take part in the musical Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Alina played the role of the "foreign" Snow White in Korean. After some time, Dzhanabaeva broke the contract and returned to Russia.
Participation of Albina Dzhanabaeva in the musical group "VIA Gra"
Moscow welcomed Dzhanabaeva with open arms. Just during this period, the famous producer and singer Valery Meladze was looking for a new member for the musical group.
Valery remembered Dzhanabaeva when she was still performing in the Korean theater. He himself called the girl and invited her to become part of his group.
Meladze gave the performer a disc with backing parts for rehearsals and went on tour in Russia. After the return of Meladze, Albina Dzhanabaeva was already ready to work at VIA Gre.
Albina Dzhanabaeva was not ready for such a load. She, together with the musical group "VIA Gra", traveled almost every corner of vast Russia for a year.
However, the singer quickly got involved. In one of the interviews, she joked that her father, with his expeditions, had prepared her well for survival outside the apartment.
Albina Dzhanabaeva: the reason for leaving the group "VIA Gra"
Albina Dzhanabaeva did not have to work long on stage. Three years later, it became known that a member of the VIA Gra group was pregnant.
What was the surprise of the fans when they found out that Valery Meladze, who was then married to another woman, became the father of his son. Albina went on stage until the sixth month.
After giving birth, the producers of the musical group invited her to return to VIA Gro again. However, Albina had a newborn baby in her arms and she was not ready to return to the stage. Dzhanabaeva decided to sit on maternity leave.
“I gave the choice towards little Kostya. And I think that any normal mother would do the same. The stage will wait, ”commented Albina Dzhanabaeva.
After the refusal, Albina began to blame herself for whether she did the right thing by giving up her place to Svetlana Loboda?
However, everything fell into place when the producers for the second time offered to take Dzhanabaeva a place in the VIA Gra group. The singer did not miss this chance and took advantage of it.
Pregnancy, childbirth and motherhood at the time of the second entry into the group were a secret for fans. Therefore, fans of the work of the VIA Gra group speculated about how Dzhanabaeva again got into the group with such forms.
Childbirth slightly changed the figure of the singer. She couldn't get in shape.
In fact, everyone was a little bored without Anna Sedokova, who had to give way to Dzhanabaeva. After Anna's departure, the group's popularity began to decline. Albina herself agrees that Sedokova made a great contribution to the development of the VIA Gra group.
Thoughts on a solo career
Dzhanabaeva worked in the VIA Gra group for more than 9 years. The debut work for the girl was the clip "The World I Didn't Know Before You". As part of a musical group, Albina Dzhanabaeva recorded four albums: three collections of the best songs and one studio album with new tracks.
The debut album for Dzhanabaeva was the disc "Diamonds", which was released in 2005. And then the records "LML" (2006), "Kisses" and "Emancipation" followed.
At the beginning of 2010, the brilliant singer Tanya Kotova left the group. Some time later, the girl gave a provocative interview regarding Albina Dzhanabaeva.
Kotova shared that Dzhanabaeva is not such a “white sheep” that she wants to appear. According to Kotova, Albina regularly made scandals to her colleagues Meseda Bagaudinova and Tatyana.
In addition, the girl said that the reason for her departure was that Albina was jealous of her for Valery Meladze. Then Kotova revealed the secret of the affair between Meladze and Dzhanabaeva. Tatyana noted that Albina is in the group only because she is in a relationship with Valery.
A few years later, Kotova's words were confirmed by another ex-member of the VIA Gra group, Olga Romanovskaya. The girl noticed the connection between Meladze and Albina.
In addition, she stated that Brezhnev and Dzhanabaeva literally hounded her, so she was forced to say goodbye to the popular group.
At the end of 2012, the main producer of the musical group said that the group was breaking up and ceased its activities. However, it soon became clear that this was a PR for the new reality show “I Want V VIA Gru”. The main point of the show is to search for new faces for the VIA Gra group.
Causes of Albina Dzhanabaeva's depression
After the dissolution of the main part of the VIA Gra group, Albina Dzhanabaeva was actually left without a job. Later, the girl admitted that she almost became depressed. Albina was saved from despondency by the fact that she decided to work solo.
Already in 2013, the singer presented the musical composition "Drops" to fans of her work. On September 26, the presentation of the single "Tired" took place.
The most memorable works of Albina of that time were such tracks: “For happiness”, “New Earth”, “Sharp as a razor”. At her concerts, she sometimes performed the musical compositions of the VIA Gra group, Konstantin Meladze gave his consent to this.
However, they did not wait for a full-fledged solo album from Dzhanabaeva. In 2017, the singer began performing with her solo concert program One on One. At the end of 2017, the presentation of the clip "The Most Important" took place.
In 2018, Dzhanabaeva recorded a joint musical composition with Mitya Fomin "Thank you, heart." In addition, the singer presented the track “Do you want”, “Day and night” and “Such as it is”. Albina released a bright video clip for almost every song.

According to the singer, he completely abandoned the Dzhanabaev project, and now he devotes all his attention, time and energy to the promotion of his wife, ex-singer Vera Brezhneva.
In addition, Dzhanabaeva did not hesitate to write an Instagram post about what she thinks about Vera Brezhneva. And she also answered by saying that all the accusations are unfounded.
