Biography and career of Elena Sergeevna Kukarskaya
At the very end of the first decade of October 1983, a future domestic pop star was born in the oil and gas capital of our country. From early childhood, the girl showed a special interest in music. In addition, school teachers have repeatedly noted her diligence and discipline. Along with the general educational curriculum, Elena also studied at a music school, and also attended basketball and volleyball sections.
After graduating from high school, Kukarskaya entered the local institute of culture, where during her studies she regularly performed at contests of pop performers, taking first places. Among her trophies in her student years is the title of "Best Actor - 2004" at the Mayor's Cup. Interestingly, in addition to the stage, Elena was seriously fond of playing KVN, being part of the leading team of the "Carbon Monoxide" team of her university.
Having successfully passed the qualifying competition at "Factory-5", Elena Kukarskaya began to perform solo songs, of which "Po Little" got into the rotation of many radio stations. Having taken the fourth place in the rating project, she signed a lucrative and long-term contract with Maxim Fadeev. During this period, she recorded new singles and performed a duet with Pierre Narcisse.
And in 2007, the star actress made her cinematic debut, when she appeared on the set in the multi-part film project "Love is not show business" (the role of Masha the fashion designer).
In the tenths, Elena opened a new stage in her creative career. She began to write songs on her own, and her track record was replenished with new compositions. Separate words of gratitude for the singer's creativity are her songs "Queen" (2013) and "All the best yourself" (2015). A clip was recorded on the basis of the last composition.
And in 2016, the music consumer market entered the album "Po Little", which included not only new works, but also hits that had already been loved earlier. In addition, the repertoire of Kuki's concert program includes such musical compositions as "Lambada", "Winter", "Bullet-Fool" and others.
Personal life of the artist
Behind the shoulders of the family life of Elena Kukarskaya today is the only marriage with Alexei Krutykh, which was officially registered in 2011. The result of this strong and happy family union was the birth of his son Fyodor three years after the wedding.
It is interesting that the singer met her future husband at her own concert, after which their relationship very quickly acquired a romantic format.
