Grechka is a Russian performer who announced herself just a few years ago. A girl with such a creative creative pseudonym almost immediately attracted attention. Many, ambiguously attributed to the work of Grechka. And even now, the army of the singer's fans is fighting with music lovers who do not "understand" how the singer managed to climb to the top of the musical Olympus.
Even 10 years ago, in order to become famous and get their star, singers had to look for a producer or simply be born into the family of a millionaire. The modern world dictates its own rules, so to become a popular singer, it is enough to record a song, create a video clip and upload the work to the Internet. The main condition is that the content must be of high quality.
Buckwheat gained popularity in a matter of days. This is not an exaggeration, but a fact. Her friends have long been talking about the fact that the work should be shown on display. This will allow you to get not only fans, but also "sober" negative or positive criticism.
Childhood and youth of the future star
Of course, Grechka is the creative pseudonym of the singer. But the real name sounds like Anastasia Ivanova. The girl was born on March 1, 2000 in the city of Kingisepp (which is in the Leningrad region). Did the girl dream of a career as a singer? Still would! And this desire was born quite unexpectedly.
Nastya watched the film "Camp Rock: Musical Holidays". Since then, Demi Lovato and brothers Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas have become her favorite singers. Anastasia really wanted to follow their musical career and example.
Anastasia Ivanova's parents have always supported her. Nastya herself says that it would be difficult for her to get her star if it were not for the huge support of mom and dad. When Nastya shared with her parents about her plans for music, they bought her the first musical instrument - a guitar, and Anastasia easily began to play the melodies of her favorite songs.
Nastya enthusiastically began to play the guitar and compose her own songs. One recognition of the parents was not enough for the girl, so she began to play for passers-by. For her performances in the open air, the girl could earn up to one thousand rubles. It was a lot of money for Ivanova Jr.
During her school years, Anastasia was a fan of the work of Valentin Strykalo. It was the songs of this singer that she most often performed on the street. Nastya admits that in Strykalo's tracks, she was most attracted by the frivolity and laid-back lyrics.
The first performances of the singer
Residents of the hometown of Anastasia Ivanova at first did not understand why a young, needy girl goes out into the street with a guitar and sings.
Some reproached Nastya's mother for the fact that her daughter was engaged in a shameful business. But, the mother supported her daughter. Street performances went to Nastya's aid. Thanks to such performances, the singer got rid of the complexes to speak to the public.
Many people wonder about the pseudonym of the performer. Nastya admits that she decided to take such a pseudonym for herself quite by accident.
At the time when the girl tried to upload her work to the Internet, she ate buckwheat with milk and sugar. The girl did not want to enter her data, so she decided to upload the works under the nickname "Buckwheat".
After graduating from school, Grechka moved to St. Petersburg, where she entered the College of Water Resources. Anastasia admits that she had no desire to study water resources.
She simply submitted her documents to the first educational institution that came across. But, to get a diploma, it was not meant to be. At the age of 18, Ivanova leaves college, and still does not regret what she did.
The beginning of the musical career of the singer
Grechka's professional musical biography began in St. Petersburg. Alexander Ionov, the founder of the Ionoteka club, drew attention to the talented girl. Ionov began to push the name of Grechka. Soon, most teenagers in St. Petersburg knew about the singer.
Alexander Ionov helped the singer record her debut album. The work was called "Stars only at night." The first performances of Grechka also came out from under the “stick” of Ionov. The singer herself often recalls this name in her interviews.
At first, the singer did not perform solo. She was noticed at the opening act for the musical group Vulgar Molly. A little more time will pass after the presentation of the debut album, and the girl will begin to give her solo concerts.
After the debut album hit the net, the artist's tracks began to spread at a high speed.
Users shared Grechka's musical compositions by attaching a photo of the performer to them. Ionov admitted to reporters that he did not count on such a result, but simply wanted to help the young talent get back on his feet a little.
At the beginning of his musical career, Grechka still had time to study. But, after, I had to choose: music or study. And, of course, Grechka opted for music. At 18, Anastasia leaves college.
What worried her most was how her mother would react. But, Nastya was lucky with her parents, because they supported and support her in all her extraordinary decisions.
By the time she dropped out of college, the singer was already making good money. She could afford not a poor life. The real recognition for the singer was that Ivan Urgant himself invited her to take part in his show.
Buckwheat on TV
Grechka performed one of her top musical compositions on the Evening Urgant program.
When journalists asked the girl how she herself defines the musical genre of her songs, the singer answered without hesitation: “I sing in the post-bard style.”
In the songs of the performer, you can hear the words: drugs, alcohol, illegal substances. Those who are not familiar with the work of the singer may certainly have an opinion that the girl herself uses one of the above. Grechka herself admits that she leads a healthy lifestyle and does not like to change her mind.
Music critics compare the work of Grechka with the work of the great Zemfira. And the singer herself has repeatedly admitted that she loves Zemfira's tracks.
But Zemfira, in Grechka's assessment, turned out to be more categorical: the star said that the girl could not sing and even allowed herself to criticize the performer's appearance.
Singer Grechka now
At the beginning of 2018, Grechka organized her concert in Moscow. But besides this, the singer presented her mini-album "Untouchable", which consisted of "juicy" musical compositions.
In addition to concerts, Nastya likes to participate in various music festivals. So, the singer was seen at the festivals: "Pain" and "Stereoleto". And already in August, the singer performed at the Invasion, joining the masters of Russian rock.
In March 2019, Grechka will present an album with archival recordings "Collection of a Youngster". Perhaps, it becomes clear from the title that Anastasia wrote the tracks that were included in the collection in her youth. At the time of writing, she was only 16 years old.
In 2020, the Russian singer Grechka presented her fans with a new album with the creative title "From Good to Evil". The record was topped by 8 tracks.
In the tracks, Grechka's desire to close her eyes to the past and start a new stage in her life is clearly heard. The composition "Grungestyle, part 2" perfectly describes the above words. A tour in support of the LP will take place in mid-2020.
Singer Grechka in 2021
At the end of February 2021, the singer presented her new single to her fans. We are talking about the track "A Thousand Moments". The premiere of the composition is timed specifically for the festive event. The fact is that the performer celebrates her birthday at the beginning of March.
On March 12, 2021, the singer's new LP was released. The disc received the laconic name "Not for anything". Recall that this is the seventh album in the discography of the performer. The compilation was topped by 10 tracks. According to Grechka, the recording of the LP helped her survive panic attacks without losing her health.
