Biography
Helena Fisher, or Elena Petrovna Fisher, was born on August 5, 1984 in Krasnoyarsk. Her parents, Peter and Marina Fischer, are Russian Germans who were exiled to Siberia in 1941. His father worked as a simple physical education teacher in an ordinary Krasnoyarsk school, and his mother worked as an engineer at a department at a university. Elena has an older sister, Eric.
When the girl was only 4 years old, her family moved to Germany as “German settlers”. There they settled in Wöllstein in Rhineland-Palatinate, located in the southwestern part of the country.
The future singer first received her education in an ordinary German school, and then she graduated from the private music school Stage & Musical School in Frankfurt. As a student of this music school, Elena has already performed on the big stage of the People's Theater in Frankfurt and the State Theater in Darmstadt.
Career
Carier start
Even while Elena was studying at a private music school, in 2004, Marina Fischer secretly from her daughter sent out a demo disc with her songs to various studios in order to find out what reaction her work would cause from professionals. This was the starting point for the beginning of her career. A week after the recordings were sent, a well-known music manager in Germany, Uwe Kantak, contacted Elena.
In May 2005, 20-year-old Elena performed for the first time in a duet with singer Florian Zilberaisen in one of the programs of ZDF, the second national television channel in Germany.
A year later, the singer released her first album, which was called "Von hier bis unendlich", and a year later - her second album, called "So nah wie Du". Both albums received gold status.
In the period from 2008 to 2011, Elena Fisher released 3 more albums, which were quickly sold out by her fans.
The Helena Fischer Show
Since 2011, every year, in the evening of the day of Catholic Christmas (December 25), Elena has been hosting a festive show "Die Helene Fischer Show". German performers and world celebrities take part in it. At various times, Michael Bolton, Andrea Bocelli, Il Divo, Brian Adams, Sunrise Avenue, etc. performed at the Helena Fischer Show. Until 2015, the show was filmed at the Velodrome in Berlin, and since 2016 in Dusseldorf.
Helena Fischer's sensational albums
In 2013, Elena's sixth album was released, which is called "Farbenspiel" (translated from German - "Play of color"), which became a real sensation. It sold 2,350,000 copies and earned 10x platinum certification in Germany. And in Austria it became 18 times platinum, and in Switzerland - 4 times. Also for the Play of Colors, the singer was twice awarded the prestigious German Echo Prize in the Album of the Year category.
This album is considered by many to be a turning point in Elena Fischer's career, since after its release she was finally assigned the honorary title of "hit queen".
In support of the record, solo concerts were held in large cities of Germany, Switzerland and Austria. The largest of them took place in Berlin, where about 120 thousand fans of Elena Fischer gathered.
Her eighth studio album, Helene Fischer, released in 2017, sold over 345,000 copies in its first week. Like Farbenspiel, the eighth album also peaked at number one on the German, Austrian and Swiss charts.
Personal life
In 2005, Helena met the famous singer and TV presenter Florian Zilbereisen, performing with him on the Hochzeitsfest der Volksmusik show. Later, their stage duet grew into a touching romance. For 10 years they met, but it never came to a wedding: on December 19, 2018, Elena Fisher officially announced her breakup with Florian on her social media pages.
After this loud statement in the German yellow press, rumors immediately spread that Fischer had another man.
