When Lazareva was 12 years old, her parents begged her to take part in a popular song contest.
First musical steps
After graduating, Svetlana went to the capital to enter GITIS. But, oddly enough, the girl did not choose the vocal department, but decided to become a director of mass events. The young artist showed herself already in the first year of study. She was offered to sing at the Philharmonic, where she became a star for the audience from the first days. Everyone was simply fascinated by her jazz performance of songs.
At one of the performances, the girl was lucky to meet one of the most famous composers of that time - Theodor Efimov. Lazareva's singing impressed him so much that Efimov decided to ask his friends from the team "blue bird» to take a young artist to his team. As a result, the group only won. Svetlana's singing attracted even more attention and popularity to the Blue Bird. Before the appearance of the girl, the group had already released 4 full-fledged studio collections.

As a result, the meeting became productive, as three young and talented artists decided to create a new musical project - a trio with the original name "Women's Council". But the team did not last long. After a year and a half, the group broke up. Whether the girls did not share the popularity, or did not agree on the characters - in fact, no one knows.
Solo project of Svetlana Lazareva

The first marriage of Lazareva happened after graduation. Her chosen one was the songwriter Simon Osiashvili. It was he who at that time wrote texts for the works of The Blue Bird. But the union was short-lived, or rather, very short. The reason for the breakup was that the husband was against the children, and Svetlana really wanted to become a mother. The second husband of Svetlana is Valery Kuzmin. This marriage was more conscious, as it happened much later. The singer at the time of the wedding was 34 years old.
A few months later, the couple had a daughter, Natalia. The birth was very difficult and Svetlana had to spend 9 days in the intensive care unit. The girl was named after Natalia Vetlitskaya, the show business star became her godmother. In marriage, Lazareva and Kuzmin lived for 19 years. After they came to the conclusion that their union had exhausted itself. The couple decided to divorce. The singer left all the property acquired in marriage to her ex-husband. I bought a cozy mansion in New Riga for myself and my daughter.
Lazareva now

A woman takes care of her appearance, eats right, plays sports. Men still stare at the artist, making her constant signs of attention.
Svetlana actively maintains pages on social networks, where she communicates with her fans. A woman treats criticism and hatred in her direction absolutely calmly. Now the main income for the singer is not at all creative work. She has her own salon where she sells luxury furniture. The woman is not against romantic relationships and believes that she will still find true love.
