Each of her songs becomes incredibly popular and instantly takes high positions in the music charts. Valeria is interesting not only as an artist, her personal life attracts the views of millions of fans.
Childhood
Alla Perfileva, whom we know as Valeria, was born on April 17, 1968. The future star was born in a small town in the Saratov region - Atkarsk. In the same town, in a music school, the only one in the whole city, Alla's parents worked. The singer's father Yuri Ivanovich was in charge, Galina Nikolaevna-mother, taught at this school. The fate of little Alla was predetermined. Music has accompanied the future star since childhood. Not a single family holiday was complete without music. She was not just a means for the survival of the whole family, but also a part of the Perfilevs' life. Since childhood, the singer was not indifferent to the piano and at the age of five she entered a music school.
Parents often worked late and did not have time to keep an eye on their daughter, but this was not required. Alla did well both in a regular and in a music school. At first, Alla did not even dream of becoming a singer, and even on the contrary, she dreamed of becoming a ballerina. Everything was decided by chance. At one of the regional-scale concerts, Alla was offered to perform in front of a small hall, and from that day the girl could no longer think about anything except the stage with a microphone.
Alla graduated from school with a gold medal and immediately left to conquer the capital. There, the girl auditioned at the Russian Academy of Music. Gnesins and despite the fact that there was a great competition, Valeria achieved what she wanted. Entrance exams ended with admission to the course to I. Kobzon.
Creation
After graduating from the Gnessin Russian Academy of Music, Alla went to work at the local philharmonic society. The first husband Yaroshevsky invited her to the "Impulse" ensemble as a soloist. The turning point in the composition of the ensemble was the performance at the festival in Jurmala in 1987. The future star performed jazz, which was "undesirable" for that time, and the jury members, unfortunately, reacted to this style very coolly. Valeria was expected to fail, but further acquaintance with Alexander Shulgin, her future second husband, determined her whole life.
The performer in 1995 releases her composition entitled "My Moscow". Its popularity began to skyrocket. Already the second composition "Airplane" wins the hearts of millions of listeners and becomes "Song of the Year". At the same time, the album "Anna" is released, it is he who irrevocably and finally consolidates the status of a star on the Russian stage for Valeria.
Then four more discs were released and Valeria declares that she is forced to take a creative break. There was a pause from 2001 to 2003. A pause filled with scandals, disagreements with her husband Alexander Shulgin.
Having finally parted with her ex-husband, Valeria begins a new project in 2003 with producer Iosif Prigozhin and the recording studio "Knox Music". Working in tandem gave birth to the eighth album with new songs "Land of Love". This disc instantly took off to the top of the charts and gained incredible popularity. Finally, in 2005, the singer was awarded the high title of Honored Artist of Russia.
In 2007 Valeria made another attempt to break into foreign musical spaces and released the second English album “Out of control” in her career. . Foreign performers and show business stars took part in the recording of the disc. About $ 3 million was spent on his recording. Valeria even appeared in Billboard magazine. For the next few years, Valeria toured foreign countries. After that, plans to conquer the foreign music market changed, and it was decided to return to the domestic stage. Valeria releases four discs (including a collection of the best compositions and a collection of famous Russian romances).
In 2015, the artist's next 16th album "This is the time of love" was released, then "Oceans", in which the singer surprises the audience with her frankness. Valeria shares the most intimate and important in her life - attitude towards loved ones, mutual understanding between mother and child.
The singer, in addition to music, is also engaged in public affairs. She was appointed Goodwill Ambassador of the International Organization for Migration. Valeria is also a permanent member of the jury of the "New Wave" competition.
Today, the list of the singer's music awards is so great that she herself hardly remembers the whole. In 2013 she was awarded the title of People's Artist of Russia.
Personal life
The first husband, Leonid Yaroshevsky, was a pianist and concurrently led the "Impulse" collective, where the future spouses met. It was he who insisted that the young star start studying at a music university, while Valeria wanted to be a teacher. After the eighteenth birthday of the girl, the wedding took place. But the family broke up after Valeria met her future second husband, Alexander Shulgin.
By the time Alexander proposed to the singer, they already had a daughter, Anna. A year later, a son, Artemy, was born, and in 1998, Arseny, the third child, was born. Shulgin spent a lot of energy to make Valeria a real star: constant recordings, competitions, filming, rotation of songs on radio and television.
Despite the seeming idyll, family life was not so simple. Valeria's husband turned out to be quick-tempered and often raised his hand to his wife. All proceeds were under the control of Alexander. Despite everything, Valeria believed that everything would change, her husband would improve and tried to preserve the family hearth and warm relations. She even offered to get married, but the wedding imperceptibly spilled over into another scandal. This was the last frontier in the relationship.
Having collected a small amount of money, the singer and her children returned to the parental home, at the same time starting the divorce process. In February 2002, Valeria was officially divorced. In the future, she described this segment of her life in her autobiography book "And life, and tears, and love", on which in 2010 the series "There was love" was filmed.
Valeria met her third husband in 1991, at the famous Morning Star talent competition. Joseph Prigogine (however, like Valeria herself) did not even think that having met the singer again 12 years later, he would fall in love with her at first sight.
At first, Valeria reacted without interest to the producer, but the warmth and sincerity of Prigozhin did their job, and in 2004 the wedding took place. To this day, the couple live in harmony. Joseph had an excellent relationship with Valeria's children. He treats them like family.
Valeria has 18 albums, more than 50 clips, and the list of the singer's musical awards is so great that she herself hardly remembers the whole thing.
