Elena Sergeevna Yesenina decided to engage in creative activity from childhood. From an early age, she wrote music, took part in prestigious competitions, and received awards.
The beginning of the way
The biography of the future celebrity began in 1987. The girl was born in Ryazan on July 27. The child's musical talent manifested itself early. The girl learned to play the piano from the age of 6. While in elementary school, she wrote her first blues song, Once Upon a Time in Chicago.
The debut on the stage of the local military landing school took place when Elena moved to the 5th grade. She took part in the New Year's Eve. Two years later, parents were recommended to give their daughter an education at the Pirogov Music College.
Yesenina studied at the pop-jazz department. A fourteen-year-old teenage girl became a member of the Impulse competition and performed successfully. She participated in "Songs of the Father's House", "I Will Give You a Romance", "Beauty Will Save the World" as a student.
At the international chanson festival, the girl won a trip to Paris. Yesenina decided to continue her studies at the music department of the Moscow State Pedagogical University.
The path to recognition
Her professional career started at the Moscow Theater of Variety Performances. Yesenina became the backing vocalist of the famous singer Alexander Kalyanov. Two years later, solo performances began under the name of Lena Valevskaya.
The singer made her debut with the song You and Me in 2007. Composer Konstantin Moskovich noticed a rising star after her victory in the Songs of the World competition. With his song "Butterfly" Elena became a favorite at the "Slavianski Bazaar" festival. After winning it, cooperation with producer Joseph Prigogine began.

After the birth of the youngest child, the daughter of Seraphima, new heroes are created for her. So, the kite, the main character of the book "Benny Bohm", constantly touches something. It was decided to transform the colorful book into a play and a cartoon.
