"Happiness will come to you, just until it knows how to approach you."
(Sedokova A. V., book "The Art of Seduction", publishing house "AST", 2010)
Childhood
Anna Sedokova was born in Kiev on December 16, 1982. Her childhood was not cloudless. She was five years old when her father left the family, completely forgetting that he had a daughter. He tried to contact her only when Anna herself was preparing to become a mother.
Ani's mother taught music and English at school. Of course, this influenced the career and life of her daughter. At the age of six, Anya already performed in the song and dance ensemble, later she went to study at a music school in the piano class. Anya worked very seriously on her education from an early age. She graduated from the music school with excellent marks, as well as from a general education school and, subsequently, an institute.
From youth - in show business
At the age of 15, Anna earned her own money for the first time. Now it is not surprising that it was earning on the podium, but then she herself did not consider herself beautiful enough. For two days in the Khreshchatyk model house she was paid one hundred hryvnias - a lot of money in those days. Anya worked as a model for a year and left this profession. I realized that her future is in something else.
After school, she entered the Kiev Institute of Culture on the course of actors, announcers and TV presenters. She did not succeed in spending her student years carelessly, she had to provide for herself, and Anna went to look for work. She passed a casting on television and hosted the OTV-Models program for a year. Then she was taken as the host of the morning show on the "New Channel". The show paid a lot of money for her - 350 dollars a month, but one day it all, suddenly, ended. They simply fired without explanation, and Anya was again left without money and with a bunch of plans and desires. It happened in 2002.
VIA Gra
After going through different options in her head, the girl remembered that two years ago she was casting for a girl group. Then she was told that she liked her, but there is a problem - in age. At that time she was only 17. Now that the age problem has been solved, Anna decided to try her luck again. The group was called "VIA Gra".
Konstantin Meladze, the producer of the group, once told the same story in an interview - how it looked from his side: “Dima and I (Dmitry Kostyuk) decided to make a trio. We had Anya in mind, whom we looked at at the casting for the first cast, but at that time she was still very young, seventeen years old. In 2002, the time has come. I talked with Anya for a long time, frightened her with stories, what a terrible job it is, hard, ungrateful, but she was as hard as flint and insisted: I agree."
The first video of "VIA Gra" in the new line-up was the song "Stop! Stop! Stop!". According to Meladze, having removed the song, he realized that the group had reached a new level.
Over the years that have passed since the founding of "VIA Gra", 15 girls have passed through it. For each of them, the group of Meladze and Kostyuk became a springboard for their future life in the world of show business. Anna Sedokova is no exception. The composition with her participation is called golden, and she was the first to show that she can achieve something without VIA Gra.
First marriage and the beginning of an independent career
At the beginning of her career in the group, Anna met the captain of Dynamo Kiev, Valentin Belkevich. According to Anna's stories, the acquaintance at first was very conditional. They sometimes saw each other in a beauty salon, where they went to the same master, and did not pay attention to each other. This went on for a long time, until Valentine once invited Anya to a cafe. This was followed by a swift and passionate romance, which led to Anna's pregnancy and her departure from the group.
Even before leaving VIA Gra, Sedokova promised the editor-in-chief of Maxim magazine that she would shoot for the cover. When, finally, there was time for filming, Anna was already four months pregnant, but this only spiced up the session. She worked the shooting professionally and kept herself so free that it never occurred to anyone that there might be something wrong with her.
In December 2004, Anna gave birth to a daughter, Alina, and, as soon as the girl grew up a little, she returned to work again. She wanted to be independent, despite the fact that her husband could support her. Already in 2005, the singer returned to the stage in a solo project under the pseudonym Annabelle and in September 2006 received the Audience Award at the Five Stars festival in Sochi. In the same year she was invited to host the program "New Songs about the Main" on Channel One. Next is a new photo session, this time for Playboy magazine. The editors accompanied the session with a statement that 90% of readers want to see it on the cover. At the end of the year, the ex-soloist of the golden line-up of VIA Gra, who has returned to the stage, receives the first prize at the Ukrainian Song of the Year.
Anna Sedokova during these years personifies the dream of millions of Russian-speaking men. She is in demand on television. Radio Monte Carlo officially calls her the most coveted TV presenter in Russia.
In 2009, Anna Sedokova starred in the film "Pregnant". Before that, she had appeared on the movie screen more than once. The first experience of filming was back in 2002 - in the role of the English princess of the Ukrainian musical "Cinderella". Then there was the role of herself in the "VIA Gra" in the film "New Year's Robbery" and a small role in the Ukrainian television series "The Power of Attraction".
Personal life of the country's most coveted TV presenter
In the same 2009, the singer leaves for the USA for six months, where she shoots the video "Cold Heart" with the rapper Djigan. Upon her return from America, she publishes her book, The Art of Seduction. The author describes his book as advice to all those women who want to become happy. At the same time, she understands seduction, rather, as achieving a goal in general, than as an exclusively sexual act. She herself does not have to make great efforts to seduce men. After a broken marriage with Valentin Belkevich, Anna converges with a businessman living in the States, Maxim Chernyavsky. Together with her daughter, she often visits him in America and, in the end, marries him and gives birth to a daughter, Monica. After parting with Chernyavsky, he starts an affair with dancer Sergei Guman. The next seduced man was the son of the owner of ChTPZ ("Chelyabinsk Pipe-Rolling Plant") and the owner of several companies, Artyom Komarov. From him, in April 2017, Anna Sedokova gives birth to her third child. This time - a son.
All these years Anna has been actively working on television, receiving awards, recording songs, in many of which she is a co-author. She continues to be one of the most beautiful women in the country. Although, however, the addition “one of the most” clearly does not go to the phrase “beautiful woman”. Anna Sedokova, as before, is the most beautiful, desirable, energetic and able to achieve her goals in the eternal pursuit of female happiness.
