Yulia Volkova is a Russian singer and actress. The performer gained wide popularity as part of the Tatu duet. For this period of time, Yulia positions herself as a solo artist - she has her own musical project.
Childhood and youth of Yulia Volkova
Yulia Volkova was born in Moscow in 1985. Julia never hid that she was brought up in a wealthy family. The head of the family was engaged in business, and my mother worked as a stylist. Parents provided their daughter with a really happy childhood.
Music accompanied Volkova from an early age. At the age of seven, parents sent their daughter to a music school, where she mastered playing the piano. The girl entered the professional scene when she was in the third grade.
At the age of nine, she became part of the Fidget team. The vocal-instrumental ensemble was already famous for its storehouse of talents. In the team, Julia met Lena Katina, who in the future became her colleague in the group “Tattoo».
She delved into the study of acting. Volkova excelled in her work. Work in a vocal and instrumental ensemble brought Julia frantic pleasure. She was even entrusted with several small roles in Yeralash. From this moment begins another part of Volkova's creative biography.
The creative path of Yulia Volkova
Volkova's professional career began at a young age. As a teenager, she takes part in a musical casting. Julia's performance impressed the producer, and he decided to give her a chance to prove herself. The singer became a member of the Tatu duet.
The second member of the scandalous team was Lena Katina. The little-known duo gained not only all-Russian popularity - even foreign music lovers knew about the team.
The producer made a bet on a shocking-lesbian image. The plan worked, but soon the public began to lose interest in the girls. At this stage, Volkova and Katina began to touch on social topics in musical compositions.
The singers recorded LPs in Russian and English. They regularly performed in Russia and America. The debut single in the English version of All The Things She Said is one of the first Tatu tracks that sounded on the American charts.
Yulia Volkova: Participation of the Tatu group in the international Eurovision Song Contest
In 2003, the group represented Russia at the Eurovision international music contest. On stage, they performed the track "Do not believe, do not be afraid, do not ask." Participation in the competition brought the duet the third place.
The performers were not very inventive. They took to the stage in white t-shirts and jeans. The number "1" was emblazoned on the T-shirt. In one of the interviews, the singers said that they carefully prepared for the event, but their stage costumes were stolen on the eve of the Eurovision Song Contest.
The singers started working in 2005 on the second LP "People with Disabilities". In the same year, the presentation of one of the band's most recognizable hits took place. We are talking about the song All About Us. At this time, the popularity of the duet drops significantly.
Julia and her partner said in an interview that they do not belong and never belonged to representatives of sexual minorities. The statement that the girls are "straight" slightly disappointed the "fan" base, since it was with the statement about non-traditional orientation that the story of Tatu began. The girls said that they have exclusively friendly and working relations.
The start of the solo career of Yulia Volkova
The decrease in interest in the work of the Tatu group prompted Yulia to think about a solo career. The situation was aggravated by the conflict with Boris Rensky. Since 2009, Volkova has positioned herself as a solo singer. Only in 2012, Julia worked with a former bandmate. The singers re-released a common LP.
"Move the World" is Volkova's first piece of music, which she recorded at the recording studio Gala Records. In 2011, a video clip was also released for the track. Soon the presentation of the songs Rage and Woman All The Way Down took place. It cannot be said that Volkova's solo work was of great interest to music lovers.
She failed to replicate the success she gained while being part of Tatu.
Julia applied for participation in the Eurovision Song Contest. She performed the musical composition Back to Her Future in a duet with Dima Bilan. In the qualifying round, the singer took second place, losing to Buranovsky Babushki.

Mike Tompkins and Legalize took part in the recording of the composition. A music video was filmed for the song in 2014.
The singers tried to resume a full-fledged team, but they did not succeed. Volkova claimed that it was difficult for her to communicate with her partner. Conflicts and creative differences led to the fact that the former members of the group practically stopped communicating.
In 2015, Volkova's new solo track premiered. A video was shot for the track, directed by Alan Badoev. A year later, she replenished the repertoire with the composition "Save, people, the world." In April of the same year, the debut LP was presented.
