Childhood and youth of Katya Lel
Katya Lel is the stage name of a Russian singer. The real name and surname sounds somewhat more modest - Ekaterina Chuprinina.
The future pop star was born in 1974 in Nalchik.
Catherine had an early interest in musical compositions. At the age of 3, Katya's dad gave her a piano. Since then, the music in the Chuprins' house has never ceased.
The eldest daughter Irina played music, and the younger Ekaterina sang along with her sister.
At the age of 7, mother enrolls her daughter Katya in a music school. There, Ekaterina learns to play the piano and simultaneously learns the art of choral conducting. Young Chuprinina graduated from both departments with an “excellent” mark.
At school, Katya studied normally. Her soul lay in literature, history, music.
She never liked the exact sciences and physical education. In adolescence, she decided on her future profession.
Having received a secondary education, the girl submits documents to a music school. Then, the mother of the future star insisted that her daughter have a higher education. Catherine has no choice but to submit her documents to the North Caucasian Institute of Arts.
Education at the Institute of Arts is given to Catherine easily. She receives her diploma and returns home.
However, having arrived in her native land, Katya understands that there are zero prospects here. She packs her suitcases with things, and leaves to conquer Moscow.
The capital of Russia met the girl not very friendly. Katya realized two things - you need a lot of money, and you need to get another prestigious education. The latter she decides to implement immediately.
Ekaterina becomes a student of the Gnessin Russian Academy of Music.
And then luck turned to face the young talent. Ekaterina becomes a laureate of the Musical Start - 94 contest. But it didn't end there.
