Anastasia Kozhevnikova in "VIA Gre" did not last long, but now, several years after leaving the popular band, her songs are listened to by numerous fans. Who is she and where is she from? What is Anastasia doing now?
Experience under the supervision of one of the leading Russian music producers and composers - not many representatives of modern show business can boast of this. Anastasia Kozhevnikova, a charming Ukrainian woman, has this experience, and he disappointed her a little. According to her, the scene is merciless and even cruel, jealous of those who want to share it with a successful personal life or other professional areas.
Biography of the former participant of "VIA Gra" Anastasia Kozhevnikova
Nastya was born in Yuzhnoukrainsk, at the end of March 1993, in a creative family. The girl's grandfather and dad were photographers, her grandmother taught music, and her mother sang in the choir. It is not surprising that little Anastasia also chose the path of a vocalist.
Nastya Kozhevnikova entered the music school at the age of 8, before that she sang in the children's choir of the city level for two years. In the "musical" Anastasia mastered the basics of playing the piano, but the teachers, noticing her singing talent, offered to study singing at the same time.
But after school, the girl chose another direction in her further education - management. She understood that a serious profession would also come in handy in her life. She mastered this profile direction already in the capital of Ukraine - in Kiev. In parallel with her studies, Anastasia stormed all vocal competitions and auditions, but luck bypassed her. And only the support of her mother forced her to go on stage again and again in front of strict jury members.
Anastasia Kozhevnikova's career
From early childhood, Nastya aspired to the "big" stage, but her talent was stubbornly overlooked. At the music school, she was supported by teachers - professional vocalists and musicians who understood that the girl was talented, worthy of something more than a place in a children's choir at the level of a provincial Ukrainian city.
At the age of 16, another disappointment awaited Anastasia, she again did not receive the approval of the jury at the next casting. It was then that the girl decided to get a more serious profession. But my mother stubbornly forced her to try her hand again and again.
Nastya tried her strength only within Ukraine. In her "piggy bank" of this plan there are such song contests as "Super star", "X-factor". In the last competition, she even made it to the first round, but she was not allowed to enter the second. It seemed to be the “last straw”. But my mother found out that Konstantin Meladze was coming to pick up girls for the new composition of her sensational group VIA Gra. And, at the insistence of her mother, Anastasia Kozhevnikova went there. It was her finest hour, but, unfortunately, only for a few years.
Anastasia Kozhevnika in the group "VIA Gra"
Konstantin Kozhevnikova's Medaze passed the second round easily - the young beauty immediately won the hearts of strict jury members, and this literally inspired her. As a result, all tests were successfully passed, at the end of 2013 a new composition of the most popular female musical and vocal group "VIA Gra" was formed, which included Anastasia Kozhevnikova.
Less than six months later, the girls from the group became "members" of the top songs, the most downloaded and popular on the radio. But they did not succeed in becoming laureates of the "Best Promotion of the Year" award.
Disagreements soon began in the group. The press wrote that the girls could not get along with each other, at rehearsals and even performances they often have scandals.
As a result, when Nastya started talking about leaving the group and breaking the contract, producer Konstantin Meladze did not oppose her decision. It is still not known for certain, the conflict with which of the girls led to such a decision, but Anastasia Kozhevnikova is still friends with Misha Romanova.
There was another version of why Kozhevnikova left VIA Gro - allegedly her newly-made husband was dissatisfied with the too revealing outfits of his wife on stage, and Nastya gave in to him.
Personal life of Anastasia Kozhevnikova
This side of life interested music lovers and journalists after Anastasia became part of the VIA Gra group. The novels of the young singer were closely followed, the paparazzi constantly threw up new pictures of the girl with potential contenders for her hand and heart. Moreover, the terms of the contract allowed the singers to establish their personal lives.
Anastasia Kozhevnikova was credited with novels with

- Vladislav Ramm,
- Anatoly Tsoi.
The girl remained silent, did not refute or confirm rumors about her personal life. Anastasia Kozhevnikova got married in the summer of 2018. The singer's chosen one was her longtime acquaintance, the brother of her friend at the music school - Kirill Snitkov.
The wedding of Anastasia and Kirill was magnificent and loud, her colleagues from the VIA Gra team were also invited to it. Photos from the celebration can be seen on Anastasia Kozhevnikova's Instagram page.
Kirill Snitkov is a rather successful young man, and he is ready to pay for the further career development of his wife in show business. But Nastya herself is now not ready to re-enter this "cruel and jealous" environment. Now she just works "at the desk", and she receives advice and help only from her husband. She promised to present the new singles to the fans "as soon as it becomes clear that it will be a hit."
