The childhood and youth of Maria the Epiphany

Masha was born on August 17, 1993 in the town of Pokhvistnevo, Samara Region. Mary Gu is the creative pseudonym of the singer, under which the name of Maria Bogoyavlenskaya is hidden.

This surname went to the girl from her husband. Since childhood, the girl had the surname Gusarova. Maria admits that as a child, because of her surname, she was often teased, so she gladly took her husband's surname.

It is known that Mary grew up in an incomplete family. She was raised by her mother and grandmother. In her videos, the girl repeatedly talked about the fact that her mother had a difficult character, which influenced the upbringing of the girl.

With great warmth, Maria recalls her grandmother, who, according to her own confessions, raised and fed her. At the age of 5, Masha became interested in music.

She asked me to buy her a piano. From the moment this instrument appeared in the house, Maria was assigned to a music school. In total, the girl studied at the music school for 12 years.

First, she studied piano for 7 years, and then she devoted 5 years to the department of pop-jazz vocals. Then, in fact, Masha first tried herself on stage.

Maria says that as a child she was a modest, even shy child. But it ended when adolescence came. The girl did not want to study at a music school, skipped lessons. She was drawn to love adventures and the street.

Her grandmother managed to reason with the girl. It was she who did not allow me to leave the music school, for which Masha is very grateful to her. Thanks to her studies, from the age of 16, the girl began to teach vocals. In fact, this was her first job.

After receiving the certificate, Masha left the provincial town of Pokhvistnevo. The girl decided to move to live in Samara. The reason for the move was the desire to get a higher musical education.

In 2011, the girl entered the SGIK in the direction of pop music art. Four years later, the girl received a diploma of higher education.

Maria's participation in projects

She was inspired by the work of Fadeev, so she wanted to get into his label. In addition, she took part in the Voice project, which she shared with her subscribers on social networks.

The fact that the castings were not successful did not greatly upset the girl. Maria realized that each singer has his own format. She concluded that her format was not suitable for the general public.

Maria gained popularity after she performed the musical composition "Madness", the author and performer of which is rapper Oksimiron.

The combination of harsh text with Masha's melodic voice made an incredible impression on the audience.

The track was written, and the customers disappeared. Masha finalized the musical composition and decided to take it into her repertoire.

Fans loved the new creation. However, it seemed to some that the song "Ai-Petri" would sound better if it were not for Serezha Dragni's vocals.
