ANIKV is a hip-hop, pop, soul and rhythm and blues artist, songwriter. The artist is a member of the creative association "Gazgolder". She conquered music lovers not only with the unique timbre of her voice, but also with her charming appearance. Anna Purtsen (real name of the artist) gained her first popularity on the rating Russian music show "Songs".
Anna Purzen's childhood and youth
The artist's date of birth is April 29, 1995. She was born on the territory of sunny Tbilisi (Georgia). Anna was lucky enough to be brought up in a primordially creative and intelligent family.
Purzen's parents have nothing to do with creativity. So, mom realized herself as a doctor, and dad is an architect. Mutual respect reigned in their family, although for a long time they had disputes about their daughter's hobbies.
At the age of 6, Anna, together with her parents, moved to the capital of Russia. Since childhood, a talented girl has been drawn to music. Parents feared for their daughter's future, so they insisted on getting a "good" education.
After receiving a matriculation certificate, she became a student at Moscow State University of Technology. The girl preferred the faculty of graphic design. The girl studied at the Moscow Architectural Institute for 3D animation. Later she worked freelance, but quickly realized that it was not her.
Creative path of ANIKV
During her school years, she showed talent. Even then, Anna, together with her like-minded people, “put together” a rock band. By the way, the parents were skeptical about their daughter's hobby and did not support the girl's undertakings.
But, she still wanted to shine on stage. She didn't know where to start. She lacked support. Then the girl was still far from the world of show business.
She was helped by chance. One day, walking along the streets of Moscow, she came across musicians performing the track of the Oasis band. Having overcome her shyness, the girl approached the artists. They chatted for a bit, and Anna left the guys her phone number.
And the next day, on the same street, ordinary passers-by enjoyed the performance of complex musical works from Anna Purzen. In her performance, the tracks of Amy Winehouse and Erica Badu sounded especially cool.
According to the artist, on some days they earned a decent amount of money. Once the guys even forked out to go to dinner in an expensive restaurant. It was then that Anna realized that you can not only enjoy music, but also make good money.
For some time, the artist pleased with the performances of visitors to the capital's nightclubs, bars, restaurants. She also became a member of SOUL KITCHEN.
Having overcome her excitement, Anna began to "cut" songs and put them on the Internet. She was very worried that her music would not be understood. But, how surprised Purzen was when rap artists Basta and Oksimiron threw “respect” to her. The girl definitely did not expect that stars of this magnitude would pay attention to her talent.
Premiere of the artist's debut single
Already in 2018, the performer's repertoire was replenished with a debut single. We are talking about a piece of music by Damn. A little later, a bright video was also presented for the track. The filming of the video took place in the homeland of the artist - in Tbilisi.
Then she decided to tell the whole country about her talent. The fact is that the singer performed on the stage of the rating musical show "Songs", which was broadcast by the Russian channel TNT.
She had to cope with a difficult task - her track "Miss U" in 2019 opened the 2nd season of the project. She was very worried and did not know what to expect from the judges. But, Anna's excitement was not justified. She managed to impress Basta and Timati.

Anna has a bright appearance. At one time, the singer shone on the catwalks as a model. Popular brands Outlaw, Ushatava and Mirstores became interested in her person. According to Purzen, she enjoys being a model. But, she is not ready to “betray” the music. Creativity is her priority.
After some time, Anna admitted that she was in a relationship with rap artist Saluki.
“We met online, and a little later he invited me to a recording studio. At first it was just a friendly relationship, but then we started dating. We are not lovers of any official dates. For us, the best option is to ride scooters, have a delicious meal at home and watch a movie.”
