The name Tatyana Ivanova is still associated with the Combination team. The artist first appeared on stage before reaching the age of majority. Tatyana managed to realize herself as a talented singer, actress, caring wife and mother.
Tatyana Ivanova: Childhood and youth
The singer was born on August 25, 1971 in the small provincial town of Saratov (Russia). The parents had no doubt that their daughter Tanya would definitely be a star.
She was interested in the stage at a preschool age. Tanya was constantly involved in all the festive events of the kindergarten - the girl sang, recited poems and danced all the time.
Ivanova's childhood and youth were spent in Saratov. The star still fondly recalls the time spent in this small town. Here she had relatives and friends with whom she still maintains good relations.
The ascent of Tatyana Ivanova to the stage is somewhat reminiscent of the fairy tale "Cinderella". She dreamed of performing on stage since childhood, but did not know at all how to get on the stage. Tanya's acquaintance with the producer of the Combination group is an accident.
The work of Tatyana Ivanova in the "Combination" group
Alexander Shishinin - in the mid-1980s, he worked in the Integral team. Later, Bari Alibasov advised him to create a women's group, such as the "Tender May" team, for example. Alexander took the advice into account and created something that "blew up" the heads of millions of Soviet music lovers.
As it turned out, Saratov is a city of talents. The producer, right on the street, began to look for suitable singers to create a project. He relied on an attractive appearance, and Natalia Stepnova (Ivanova's girlfriend) fit this criterion perfectly.
Alexander invited Natalia to audition. And I realized that long legs are great. But vocal abilities, which Stepanova, alas, did not possess, would not interfere with them. Then Natalia advised Alexander to invite her friend Tatyana Ivanova to audition.
He was pleased with the audition and officially invited Ivanova to take the place of the vocalist. At that time, she could not make a decision on her own, since she was only 17 years old. Alexander Vladimirovich had to persuade her parents for a long time. In the end, they agreed.
Mom and dad were very worried about their daughter. They wanted her to have a higher education. To reassure her parents, Tatyana entered the Polytechnic Institute. After studying for several years, Ivanova was still expelled for academic failure. She was unable to combine a busy tour schedule and classes at the institute.
Ivanova had thoughts of getting a musical education. But she didn't have time for that either. However, this nuance did not prevent Tatyana from becoming the idol of millions of fans. The woman organically combined vocal and artistic data.
The creative path of Tatyana Ivanova
After creating the composition, the producer introduced the members of the Combination group to Vitaly Okorokov. Subsequently, he became the author of most of the band's tracks.
Tatyana said that when she met the rest of the soloists of the group, and there were 6 of them, she saw a general external similarity. In addition, Ivanova was amazed that the girls, like her, were taken from the street.
The Combination group began touring in the Saratov region. Tatyana recalls that the first performances were like a horror movie. One day the lights went out at the country club, and the girls had to perform by candlelight. And then their bus broke down right in the middle of the field.
Interestingly, five members of the Combination group did not have a musical education. They were nuggets, and that was their peculiar charm. Only Apina had education. She did not plan to perform in the group on a full-time basis, but then briefly changed her plans.
Tatyana Ivanova has maintained friendly relations with Alena for many years. She “cultivated” her friend a little - Apina constantly gave books and records of foreign bands.
After the presentation of the track Russian Girls, the girl group fell in popularity. During 1988, Tatyana Ivanova, along with the rest of the soloists of the group, recovered on a large-scale tour. Girls could give several concerts a day. Tanya says that at that time it seemed to her right to sing to the soundtrack and delight the audience with her appearance on stage, albeit not very honest. Today, the artist has a different opinion.
In the same period of time, the producer decided to transport the girls to the capital of Russia. He had to take receipts from the parents that they had no complaints about the relocation of their daughters. Alexander became the second father for the group members. He was responsible for the safety of the girls. For example, they were not allowed to leave the house after 22:XNUMX.
The life of an artist after the 90s
In the early 1990s, the band presented their third LP. We are talking about the disc "Moscow registration". The collection was filled with tracks that were destined to become real hits. What are the songs "Accountant" and American Boy worth. Interestingly, this was the last LP in the discography of the Combination group of the first composition. After the presentation of the aforementioned record, Apina decided to leave the band.
Tatyana Ivanova begged her friend not to leave the Combination group. Apina's departure almost became a "bone of contention" among her friends. But later Tanya reconciled. At the same time, the singers presented the composition "Two Pieces of Sausages" in the album of the same name.
In an interview, Ivanova said that when she read the text, she refused to record the song. She said that for her the track was the standard of bad taste. But if she had known that the track would become one of the group's calling cards, she would not have been so self-confident.
In 1993, the producer of the Combination group was brutally murdered. It was a difficult time for the group, since Alexander was responsible for all the important issues of the team.
Alexander Tolmatsky (Decla's father) soon became the new producer of the Combination group. He failed to keep the group's popularity at the same level. Interest in the team quickly declined. But still, the group's discography has been replenished with a novelty - the album "The Most-Most".
By the way, Tatyana Ivanova and Alena Apina still communicate. In 2018, a presentation of a joint composition and a video for it took place. It's about the song "The Last Poem".
Details of the personal life of Tatyana Ivanova
Tatyana's first serious relationship was with former guitarist Laima Vaikule. Ivanova experienced the warmest feelings for this man. But, to her great regret, he did not make any attempts to take her to the registry office. After four years of relationship, the couple broke up. The musician left for Australia, and already from another country invited Tanya to his place, but she refused.
The singer's next relationship was with Vadim Kazachenko. Then he was a real sex symbol of Russia. Millions of girls went crazy over him, but Kazachenko chose Tanya. This union lasted a year, after which the couple broke up. Ivanova says that two stars in one cage cannot get along.
Alena Apina contributed to the female happiness of Tatyana Ivanova. She brought her friend to Elchin Musaev, who was not connected with the stage and music. The man worked as a dentist. He dreamed of taking an artist as his wife. Soon the couple had a daughter, who was named Maria.
By the way, Ivanova's daughter did not follow in her mother's footsteps. According to the singer, her daughter sings well, but she is far from the stage. Maria works as a translator and editor.
The wedding of Tatyana and Elchin took place only in 2016. It was one of the most anticipated events in her life. Ivanova thanks Apina for introducing her to a man whom she can safely call the best.
Tatyana Ivanova at the present time
The singer continues her creative activity. She tours around Russia, delighting fans with the performance of new and old tracks. In 2020, Ivanova, together with Vika Voronina, presented a joint composition. We are talking about the track "Stop".
