Elena's childhood and school years
She loved to spend her childhood with her brothers - they went in for sports, she trained with them, went for a walk, in the company they called her Lyoshka or simply Le for short.
She also had to sell the fish that her father caught, as he was very fond of fishing, thereby earning her first money. She even had her place in the market.
But the father also loved music, so he instilled this love from childhood in his daughter. At first, the girl did not mind, but a little later she realized that music was her vocation.
At school, she performed in a children's choir, and also attended a music studio. There, her head was the teacher of the studio Vladimir Artemiev.
After Elena graduated from high school, she went to study at the pop vocal department at the National Kiev University of Culture and Arts.
She wrote almost all of her works herself. There are also singers on her list, to whom from time to time she wrote music and poetry.
The beginning of the career of the singer Alyosha
Elena's career began in 2006 after participating in the international festival "Yalta-2006", where she took 1st place in the competition. And it was her great success. A few years later, in 2008, Elena performed at the Songs of the Sea competition, where her performance was incredible.
There she was awarded the first award, which significantly influenced her future career. In 2009, the artist signed a contract with the production center Catapult Music, where she was given the pseudonym Alyosha.
The first song with which the singer became popular was the song "Snow" in 2009. It was broadcast by all Ukrainian radio channels.
After that, in the same year (a few months later), a video clip was shot for this song, which became no less popular.
Participation of the artist in the Eurovision Song Contest
The artist Alyosha in 2010 was chosen as a participant in the Eurovision Song Contest. But, unfortunately, this competition for the singer was not without scandal - she was accused of plagiarism.
Allegedly, the song she represented had already been released earlier. The first song was withdrawn from the competition.
Therefore, the singer had to perform with another. All these nuances did not affect her performance in any way, and on May 27, having overcome all difficulties, she successfully reached the final, gaining 108 points and taking 10th place. The highest scores (in the amount of 10 points) were given by Belarus and Azerbaijan.
According to the singer, the new song was different from the performances of other participants in the Eurovision Song Contest. The lyrics for the song were written by herself in a hurry in a very short time, and her producer Lisitsa Vadim and sound producer Kukoba Boris took part in the selection of music.
After performing at the Eurovision Song Contest, Elena continued to work on her debut album. In the same year, her disc was released, which became very popular not only in Ukraine, but also in other countries.
Soon, the Golden Gramophone Award, the YUNA Award and the Crystal Microphone Award were added to the piggy bank. In 2013 and 2014 the singer received the "Song of the Year" award, in 2017 she was declared the "Most Beautiful" in the "Mom of the Year" nomination. And received the "Music Platform" and M1 Music Award.

Alyosha now
Currently, Elena's career is developing - her solo concerts gather full halls of people. She presents both new emotional songs and her bright image.
For example, in the summer of 2019, at one of the events in Ukraine, the singer took the stage in a bright top and tight leggings.
But this did not bother her fans in any way, since the singer has a stunning figure and she has nothing to hide, and such outfits allow her to be more liberated on stage.
Alyosha reached the pinnacle of success, justified all the hopes and predictions of the Kyiv masters of the pop scene. She is a bright star in the modern Ukrainian pop world.
With the birth of her daughter, Alyosha was forced to take a short break in her work. But, today we can confidently say that she has accumulated so much energy that she is ready to share a positive charge with her fans.
In 2021, an unrealistically cool LEBEDI track was released. “The melody and chorus came to me when we were vacationing with my family in Slavske. Then I was pregnant with Mariyka, ”the artist commented on the birth of the song.
The novelties from the Ukrainian singer did not end there. At the beginning of 2022, the release of "My Sea" took place. In just a couple of weeks, the work gained almost a million views.
“The song “My Sea” is a call to pay attention to what is happening in our soul and thoughts. There are feelings that I want to share. They are so strong and endless that you want to tell the whole world about them. Feelings of beauty and happiness are born in childhood, and they accompany us like a red ribbon. When we truly fall in love, these feelings are born again in our heart, ”the description of the musical work says.
