In the two thousandth, Sasha gained all-Russian fame, and the fame of the singer stepped outside the country. The vocalist's biography began in 1979.
Carier start
The girl was born in Moscow on February 5 in a family of civil aviation workers. Soon after the birth of his daughter, he moved to Syktyvkar. The future singer spent her childhood and youth there. Sasha loved singing. She liked the musical creativity of foreign pop stars. Antonova often listened to the records brought by her father.
The girl also dreamed of a sports career. She went in for figure skating, became a candidate for master of sports. However, immediately after this achievement, the classes were discontinued. The future performer gave preference to dancing and vocals. After graduating from school, the future soloist chose a legal education. Alexandra successfully entered the Syktyvkar Institute, but after a year and a half she realized that this type of activity was not suitable for her.
Antonova decided to move to the capital. Excellent choreographic skills provided the dancer with a job in one of the Moscow clubs. An attractive and young girl attracted the attention of producer Yuri Aizenshpis. A popular figure offered the girl her own musical project. At first, Antonova worked under her real name and surname. The stage name appeared much later.
Glory came pretty quickly. All radio stations in the country broadcast songs performed by the vocalist. On television, videos for the songs of a rising star were constantly shown. The fame grew. Fans quickly noted the outward resemblance of the idol and Madonna.

The young singer toured the whole country on tour. The artist received invitations to many TV shows, the songs ended up in the tops of the most prestigious charts. Sasha was also engaged in modeling activities.
She starred for various publications, including "Playboy", "MAXIM", gave interviews to "Cosmopolitan", "Vogue". Very little time passed, and the aspiring vocalist received recognition outside the country. New acquaintances, partners, friends appeared. In 2007 Antonova performed in a new role. She became the host of the gaining popularity of the TV program "Babi Revolt" on the MTV channel. The debut turned out to be successful, but Sasha did not plan to stop her vocal career either.
Performances continued on the national stage. After the concert at Luzhniki, Alexandra took a stage break. After a while, fans learned that the vocalist had moved to the United States. At the new place of residence, the girl took up the continuation of her singing career. She took on a new pseudonym Sasha Gradiva. The pop diva was produced by Tricky Stewart.

The performance of the song "Wanted" turned into an all-American recognition. The song was played on all radio stations. Fans posted ads with a picture of the singer and the title of the single under it, which sounds translated as "Wanted".
The Russian singer who managed to win recognition abroad received an invitation to the Grammy ceremony. A large-scale tour of American cities began. After being awarded the prestigious award, Sasha decided to make an equally impressive impression on the public.
Her outfit "a la Barbie" and the decor chosen for it in the form of a machine gun all over her arm became a real sensation. We discussed the appearance of the vocalist at the ceremony in this form for several months. After such shocking, Alexandra received the nickname Gun Girl.
New turn
In 2016, the pop star's mini-album "Tin Foil" was released. The singer does not like to discuss her personal life with the press. Sasha is in no hurry to initiate his most devoted fans into his novels. The journalists became aware of only one of the singer's fans, Garik Balayan. It was because of him that the decision was allegedly made to transfer to a permanent place of residence across the ocean.
However, Antonova herself denied all the conclusions of journalists and fans, saying that this was just speculation. In 2016, the singer had a child. Daughter star mom named Uma. There is no information about the baby's father, about whether her parents officially became husband and wife, having created a family. According to Alexandra herself, her family life went wrong.
A joint decision was made to part with the chosen one. Almost immediately after the birth of her daughter, the vocalist returned to work. The period turned out to be very difficult for Sasha.
