Valeria Kozlova is one of the few representatives of the Russian stage who was lucky enough to become the heroine of two "box-office" projects at once. These were the girlish rock group "Ranetki" and a youth series about the history of its creation and development.
Actress, vocalist, drummer - that's all she, Valeria Kozlova. A wide circle of Russians, and from several age groups, the girl became known due to the fact that she played one of the key roles in the youth series "Ranetki". The series told a story about a girl's rock group, which Lera Kozlova created together with several like-minded women. Who is she and where is she from? How, without a musical education, did she manage to become one of the most popular singers on the modern Russian stage?
Biography of Lera Kozlova
"Ex-ranet" Lera Kozlova is a Muscovite. She was born at the end of January 1988. Since childhood, the girl gravitated towards music, but her parents preferred to hire private vocal and instrument teachers for her, rather than take her to a specialized school. They themselves had nothing to do with art, maybe this is the explanation for the fact that they made just such a decision.
Valeria Kozlova does not have a musical education confirmed by diplomas or certificates, but she improved her skills and gained new knowledge in practice. For a long time, the girl was a member of the children's "Buratino", where she was taught to own drums and dance.
The leaders of the "Buratino" collective were sure that Lera had a great future precisely in the dance direction or in ballet, but she chose a different path. After graduating from high school, she entered the Moscow State Institute of Culture, the faculty of production.
In parallel with her studies, the girl began work on creating her own musical group with 4 friends, and the project met the expectations of its authors. Its pluses and advantages were an extraordinary musical direction, the courage and spontaneity of the participants, the absence of competitors, since this "niche" of the stage was not yet occupied by anyone and had not been mastered.
Musical career of Valeria Kozlova
The Ranetki group, with which Lera Kozlova's musical career began, was created in August 2005. Initially, in addition to Lera, it included 4 more girls, but after a few months the soloist of the group left it, and Valeria had to take on the role of both drummer and vocalist. This fact became the main feature of the group - the solo performer also played drums. This has never happened on the Russian stage. At the end of the year, Ranetki already had a contract not just with a successful producer, but with a whole music brand under the Megaliner label.
For three years Lera Kozlova was practically the “face” of the Ranetki group, but after a conflict with the producer, the girl left the team and decided to pursue a solo career. A year later, in 2009, she presented her solo concert as a performer under the name "LeRa".
After signing a mutually beneficial contract with Kruzheva Music, three videos for Lera Kozlova's songs were released, followed by the first awards, including "Bravo" as the best singer. Now Lera Kozlova is a soloist of the 5sta Family group. She replaced Yulianna Karaulova at this "post".
Filmography of Lera Kozlova
Valeria is not only a singer, but also an actress. She took part in work on three projects in the film industry. The first was a film in the format of the series "Happy Together", where the girl played the role of a member of a musical group called "Pipettes". The role was episodic, but it became a kind of impetus for development in this new direction for Lera.
In 2008, she began acting in the larger youth series Ranetki, and the role in it was no longer episodic, but the main one. Lera played practically herself, but in an artistic script. The series talked about a new musical group, and Lera was its kind of "backbone".
The series "Ranetki" developed rapidly, became extremely popular for all age categories of viewers, and literally cult for young people. Film company "CostaFilm" filmed 6 seasons of it. His filming began in February 2008, and just a month later he began showing it on the popular Russian entertainment channel. Filming and rental lasted 5 years. Lera Kozlova not only played one of the main roles in "Ranetki", but also wrote tracks for the film - "Fly Fly", "I'll leave" and others.
Another film with Lera Kozlova's participation is “Summer, swimming trunks, rock-n-roll!”, Where she performed the role of “cameo”, that is, she played herself. This project was filmed and edited by the musicians of the Nerva and Khaki groups and the then singer Lera-Lera (pseudonym of Valeria Kozlova in 2011).
Personal life of the singer Lera Kozlova
The young singer's first novel was scandalous. The press accused her that Lera decided on a relationship with a married man - producer Sergei Milnichenko, who also had a daughter. The couple, according to the journalists, even lived together for some time in a civil marriage, but under pressure from the press and the scandal that broke out around them, they broke up.
After parting with Sergei, Lera Kozlova was not left alone for long. Just a couple of months later, the girl "started" an affair with a colleague in the shop, musician Nikita Goryuk. The young man introduced the chosen one to her parents, thought about the wedding, but soon Nikita and Lera broke up.
Now nothing is known about Lera Kozlova's new novels. She herself assures that she is only engaged in a career, now she simply does not have time for romance and love passions.
