The soloist of the ensemble "Golden Ring" Nadezhda Kadysheva is known not only in her native country, but also abroad. The singer built a brilliant career, but there were events in her life that could deprive Kadysheva of popularity, fame and recognition.
Childhood and youth of Nadezhda Kadysheva
Nadezhda Kadysheva was born on June 1, 1959 in a large family. She was the third of four sisters.
Little Nadezhda was brought up in an ordinary working-class family. Mom devoted herself to raising her daughters, and her father fed the family by working as a foreman on the railway.
At first, the Kadyshev family lived in the village of Gorki. Then they moved to the village of Old Maclaus. Undoubtedly, the names of the settlements speak for themselves. Hope was brought up in God-forsaken provincial towns.
Nadezhda admitted that as a child she acutely felt the lack of money. Despite the fact that the family lived in poverty, the girl was happy.
Together with her sisters, Nadia organized a home theater. She also loved to imitate dancers and ballerinas.
At the age of 10, Nadezhda had a grief - her mother passed away. The father didn't grieve for long. He found a new wife, and six months later a strict stepmother came to the house.
The older sister could not stand it and left for Moscow to work, the middle one moved to relatives. And Nadia, along with her younger sister, was brought up in a boarding school.
Despite the fact that it was not sweet at the boarding school, it was in this place that little Nadia became interested in music. The girl performed at holidays and regional festivals.
Music and creativity for Nadezhda have become a real joy. During rehearsals, her pain lessened at least a little.
After graduating from the boarding school, Kadysheva moved to the Moscow region. Her sister lived there. To feed herself, Nadia got a job at a factory. Despite the busy schedule, Kadysheva did not forget about music for a minute.
Soon Nadezhda had a dream to enter a music school. But, despite the fact that Kadysheva had vocal abilities, she was not enrolled in a music school. Then the girl went to the preparatory department in order to enter the next year.
The following year, Kadysheva finally realized her dream. Then she decided that the school was not enough for a career as a performer and that she needed to enter the Gnessin Institute.
Creative career of Nadezhda Kadysheva
The solo career of Nadezhda Kadysheva began in 1988. As a solo performer, Nadezhda might not have realized herself. Her husband Alexander Kostyuk helped the Russian singer to get on her feet.
Alexander organized the Golden Ring ensemble, in which Nadezhda Kadysheva was supposed to sing. Until the creation of the Golden Ring musical ensemble, Kadysheva worked in the Rossiyanochka quartet.
The basis for the new ensemble was the Smolensk State Philharmonic. Alexander restored the authentic instruments, which he played in the arrangements of the songs.
Despite the fact that the ensemble "Golden Ring" for the most part performed folk songs, they performed abroad, and not in Russia. It is also known that the ensemble recorded their first albums abroad.
National musical compositions in the West were very popular. So the artists there could make a lot more money.
For five years, the Golden Ring ensemble toured abroad. In 1993, the musicians received an offer from the Soyuz company, and the ensemble signed a contract. Then they learned about Nadezhda Kadysheva in the Russian Federation.
The first disc, published in the homeland, was called "Am I to blame." The album includes such top compositions as: “Bird cherry sways under the window”, “Suffering”, “Ural mountain ash”, “Where are you running, dear path”.
The musical composition "A Stream Flows" instantly became a hit. The song was included in the second album of Nadezhda Kadysheva.
The disc entered the top of the best-selling albums in the Russian Federation. Then the fans were already singing such songs as: “The river is wide”, “I am entering love”, “I am not a sorceress”, “Entangled happiness”.
It's time to replenish Kadysheva's videography. The Russian singer actively presented clips for top songs to fans of her work. Video clips were broadcast on central television.
In 1999, Nadezhda Kadysheva received the title of "People's Artist of the Russian Federation". The performer also became the owner of a prestigious award from Vladimir Putin.
During her creative career, Nadezhda Kadysheva has replenished her discography with 20 albums. Some records were reissued because they were very popular.
The music for most of the compositions was written by Kadysheva's husband Alexander Grigoryevich. It is interesting that the son Grigory was engaged in the organization of concerts.
In 2015, the Russian singer and the musical ensemble "Golden Ring" celebrated the 30th anniversary of their creative activity. The video from the concert was posted on YouTube video hosting. The concert was watched by about 4 million users.
Personal life of Nadezhda Kadysheva
The personal life of Nadezhda Kadysheva has developed very successfully. While still studying at a music school, the singer met her future husband Alexander Kostyuk.
For the first time, Nadezhda met Alexander in the student canteen. The woman admitted that it was love at first sight.
Sympathy immediately arose between the young people. In order to once again meet Alexander Kostyuk at least with a glance, Nadezhda became a student at the prestigious Gnessin Institute.
For about 4 years, Nadezhda simply watched Alexander. She didn't dare to approach him. Alexander also thought that his feelings were not mutual.
Closer to graduation, the fate of Nadezhda Kadysheva was decided. Alexander approached the girl and made a marriage proposal. In 1983, young people got married. Soon their son Gregory was born.
If there are ideal married couples in the world of show business, then the tandem of Kostyuk and Kadysheva can definitely be attributed to them. The couple is constantly together - at concerts, rehearsals, holidays and at home.
The family is very sensitive to their home. For a long time, the Kadysheva family lived in a rented apartment. Then Gelena Velikanova contributed to obtaining the first real estate.
Alexander and Nadezhda were very happy, as they were finally able to move their son Gregory to their own home. Before that, the boy lived with his grandparents.
Kadysheva and Kostyuk received a second apartment thanks to Viktor Chernomyrdin's special love for the ensemble's music. For a long time, the couple lived on suitcases, not paying attention to the quality of repairs in the house.
But it's time for a change. After 12 years, the artists turned the family home into royal apartments. The Italian designer Onofrio Yuculano helped them with this.
In addition to singing, Nadezhda has a hobby. People's Artist of Russia collects concert outfits and paintings.
Recently, the performer shared that she has over 100 rich and elegant costumes in her collection. In the future, Kadysheva wants to open a museum where the collected collection will be presented.
It is known that Nadezhda Kadysheva miraculously survived. At 30, the singer was diagnosed with breast cancer. The performer spent two years in death waiting mode, but the diagnosis was not confirmed.
The second time the singer was saved at the age of 49, then she had an acute sign of tachycardia. At the moment, Kadysheva's life is not in danger.
