Sofia is growing up artistic and creative child, feels great on stage. In 2018, she went to first grade at an elite gymnasium in the Moscow region, where a year of education costs more than 2 million rubles. The singer, who herself lived very poorly as a child, tries to give her beloved daughter the best.
Marriage and birth of a daughter
Ani met her future husband Murat in 2005 while on vacation in Turkey. He was an employee of the hotel where the singer stayed. The young people immediately liked each other and exchanged phone numbers. For a whole year they communicated at a distance, until Ani came to Turkey to shoot a new video. A whirlwind romance began, a beautiful courtship, for the sake of which Murat increasingly visited Ukraine. The singer was happy when future husband decided to move to her country. She helped him open a restaurant and travel agency here. For several years the couple lived without officially registering their relationship, and in August 2009 they signed at the central Kiev registry office. Gorgeous wedding celebrated in the groom's homeland in Turkey.
Shortly before the new year 2011, Lorak told fans that she was happily expecting her first child. The star made no secret of her pregnancy. On the contrary, she willingly shared the details of this with journalists. important event. Ani tolerated her new condition well and continued to go on stage. True, she refused solo concerts, leaving only small performances. The singer revised her diet, adding more fruits and vegetables to it, and temporarily gave up playing sports.
As for superstitions that prohibit pregnant women from many seemingly harmless things, Lorak did not take them seriously. She admitted that she trusts her doctor and consults him on any matter. He also listens carefully to his body. Anya and her husband did not find out the sex of the child in advance, having decided to arrange a surprise for themselves.
The singer gave birth to her daughter Sofia on the evening of June 9. The baby's weight was 3290 grams, height - 51 cm. A joyful event took place in Kyiv. Lorak gave birth naturally, and, in addition to her husband and relatives, her creative patron Philip Kirkorov also worried about her during the fights. He regularly learned about Anya’s condition by phone and became one of the first to congratulate the new mother. A happy father Murat received an unforgettable gift for his birthday, which he celebrates on June 12.
Sofia's upbringing and talents
In April 2012, little Sofia's christening took place. After long discussions with her husband, who professes Islam, Ani finally decided to raise her daughter in the traditions Orthodox faith, since she will live in an Orthodox country. Philip Kirkorov became the baby’s godfather. Verkhovna Rada deputy Irina Berezhnaya was chosen to play the role of godmother.
Lorak gained 15 kg during her pregnancy, so after giving birth she actively began to regain her weight. slim figure. The singer returned to her favorite system separate power supply: ate 5 times a day in small portions, excluded sweets, flour products, fatty sauces, carbonated drinks. Instead of training in the gym, I took up dancing. As a result, Ani was again in perfect shape when she returned to the stage.
True, the singer had a hard time getting used to frequent separations from her daughter. And Sofia, when she grew up a little, began to be capricious as soon as she saw her mother’s suitcase front door. Explanations about her work and the fans who were waiting for her performances served as little consolation for the child. The situation improved when Sofia grew up a little and got used to this rhythm of life. Moreover, according to Lorak’s calculations, she spends no less time with her daughter than women who work 8 hours 5 days a week.
After the birth of her daughter, Ani literally showered her with gifts; not a single trip to the village was complete without new toys. children's store. The singer admitted that she pampers herself in this way, because she grew up in poverty and modesty. Due to complex life circumstances the future star even spent some time in a boarding school. Therefore, she doubly wanted to give Sofia toys or entertainment, which the singer herself was deprived of in childhood.
Ani and her husband are trying to develop their daughter comprehensively. The girl is dancing figure skating, drawing, tennis, stage speech. Parents do not force the heiress to go somewhere if interest has disappeared, so Sofia tries her hand at different directions. Thanks to her international family, the baby knows 4 languages: Russian, English, Ukrainian, Turkish.
But most of all, Lorak’s daughter likes performing on stage. Her famous mom never ceases to be amazed at how easily and freely Sofia behaves in front of the public. She has already taken part in Anya’s solo concerts several times, and the audience was delighted with the little artist. By the way, at home the girl also loves to give performances, spends a long time dressing up for them, and then invites her parents to the “auditorium.” If mom and dad are busy, dolls and plush toys play the role of the audience.
School and new life
The Lorak family seemed exemplary. In all interviews, the singer spoke about her love for her husband, about the spiritual connection that only grows stronger with every year spent together. She delighted fans with photographs from family trips and published touching congratulations on the Internet for her beloved husband. Therefore, the public was shocked to see footage from a Kyiv nightclub in which Murat spent time in the company of another woman. The nature of their communication left no doubt that there was a close relationship between them.
Of course, a scandal broke out. The deceived singer remained silent for a long time. When the couple took Sofia to first grade together on September 1, 2018, many started talking about a possible reconciliation of the couple. However, this did not happen. Soon Lorak filed for divorce. She moved to Moscow, where she took part in the filming of the “Voice” project, and here she decided to send her daughter to school. Murat stayed in Kyiv, rented an apartment for himself and his new lover.
Ani officially divorced her husband on January 31, 2019. She does not interfere with the daughter’s communication with her father. Murat even flew to the USA for a short time when the singer was vacationing there with Sofia. The issue of the place of residence and the order of meetings with the girl will be decided by the parents in a separate court hearing. It is clear that the couple have parted ways. But for the sake of their daughter, they try to forget mutual grievances.
Fans do not leave their favorite singer during this difficult period. You can read hundreds of her accounts good wishes and words of support. Listeners hope that Ani will quickly recover from the divorce, because, despite the separation from her husband, people's love, her adored daughter and work will remain with her forever.

ANI LORAK – SHADY LADY OF UKRAINIAN VARIETY
He has solo concerts at the National Palace of Arts “Ukraine”, albums, singles, a biographical video, and video clips. Her photos were published on the covers of Cosmopolitan, FHM, What's On magazines. She played main role in the musical "Gypsies", as well as roles in New Year's musical projects: Oksana () and Fanchetta ("Crazy Day, or The Marriage of Figaro"), took second place in song competition and is not going to stop there.
Caroline
She was born in 1978 in small town Kitsman, in the north of the Chernivtsi region, in the very house where Vladimir Ivasyuk, the author of the song “Chervona Ruta,” was born. Maybe it was a sign that the girl would become a singer. Moreover, everyone in her family sang. The singer's father, a local journalist, graduated from a music school with a degree in choir conductor, as well as the philological faculty of Chernivtsi University; mother worked as a radio announcer. According to the star’s recollections, even her grandmother always hummed something... By the way, it was at the suggestion of her Polish grandmother that she was named Karolina.
The future Ukrainian pop star spent her childhood in Chernivtsi. Since her parents divorced before her birth and there was no one to help her mother, the children, Caroline and her brother Sergei, were sent to a boarding school to be looked after. The desire to become a singer Carolina appeared at the age of four. The girl often performed at various school vocal competitions. In 1992, she participated in the popular Chernivtsi festival “Primrose” and won. It is here that the fourteen-year-old Caroline meets producer Yuri Thalesa and signs his first professional contract.
Ani Lorak - Carolina in reverse
She still remembers her first performance experience. He and his brother were walking along a nearby street, and Sergei decided to go see his friend, and Caroline stayed near the entrance and started singing loudly. People began to gather around. The girl liked that they looked at her and listened to her sing, with open mouth! According to the singer herself, it was clear in their eyes that she had something that they didn’t have. Inspired, she continued to sing even louder... 
She sang everything like the radio: Pugachev, Dolina, Veski. When she stopped there was applause. And one grandmother approached the future star and held out an iron ruble with the words: “Here, my dear, this ruble, but in your life you will earn many more such rubles.”
And the Russian television program “Morning Star”, which was released in March 1995, brought fame to the young singer. At the same time Caroline became known as: has already been entered in this competition Russian singer under the name Carolina, and the Ukrainian Carolina had to get out of a difficult situation by performing under a pseudonym, which is the reverse reading of her name.
At the same time, according to the results of the survey “New Stars of the Old Year”, she was recognized as the discovery of 1994 and awarded the “Golden Firebird” of the Tavria Games, and at the Chervona Ruta festival held in Crimea she took second place.
Star friends of Ani Lorak
Ani and Philip Kirkorov met in 2002 on the set of the musical “Evenings on the Farm” 
near Dikanka" in Kyiv, where she played the main role of Oksana, and he played the cute little devil. At first he didn’t pay much attention to the girl, but during a break, while having fun at the piano, she suddenly began to sing... It was an absolutely amazing timbre, which was somewhat reminiscent of the voice of Alla Pugacheva in her youth. In addition, it turned out that Lorak is well versed in the work of the prima donna and knows her songs. Then life collided with them on the set of the musical “The Marriage of Figaro,” where they were already like old friends. After that, they saw each other every time Ani came to Moscow - so a fleeting acquaintance grew into a strong friendship.
Philip is a long-time fan of the competition. In 1995, he participated in it himself, in 1997 he went there with Alla Pugacheva, in 2007 - with Dima Koldun, representing Belarus. This year he is the composer of the song 
“Shady Lady” decided to entrust her performance. Kirkorov was sure that Ani would show good result at the competition, and helped her prepare for it. They made a good creative tandem with Philip: according to Anya, if she has a question, a problem - not only creatively, but also personally - she always consults with him. By and large, he also does production work. But at the same time, he is more to her than a producer. Apparently, to some extent, Philip was able to become an older brother for him ( brother singer Sergei died in Afghanistan when she was 9 years old, and, probably, the place for brotherly love remained unfilled in her heart).
Dreams of Ani Lorak
When Anya is asked about her childhood dream, she replies that her dream has come true - she always wanted to sing. They began to recognize her in Europe, she tours in Greece, Turkey, England, Sweden, 
but she believes that she needs to move on, open new horizons and become a world-famous singer.
Now she has fulfilled her role as a beloved wife and mother. On August 15, 2009, she married one of the owners of the famous tour operator “Turtess Travel” - Turkish citizen Murat Nalkakioglu. The couple got married in the central registry office of Kyiv, and after that they celebrated their wedding on a grand scale in Turkey. The singer met her future husband in 2003 in Antalya on vacation. In 2004, Murat moved to Ukraine. And two years later he proposed to the singer. Daughter Sofia Muratovna Nalkakioglu (Nalchadzhi) was born on June 9, 2011. After much discussion, I finally decided to baptize Sofia in Orthodox church despite the fact that her husband, Murat Nalkakioglu, is a Muslim.
Ani Lorak Awards
At the age of 19, she received the title of Honored Artist of Ukraine, thereby becoming the youngest singer from 
those who have ever received it. Possessor huge amount awards, “Golden Discs”, winner of prestigious international and Ukrainian festivals and ratings and winner of the Grand Prix of the World Competition for Young Performers Big Apple Music-96 in New York. And in 2005 she was awarded the Order of St. Stanislaus, IV degree, with the Officer’s Cross “for strengthening the international authority of Ukraine, high professionalism, high creative achievements, charitable activities and loyalty to knightly ideals."
Album with meaning
She released a studio album under the symbolic title “15”. This name speaks not only about the creative experience at that time, but also about many important thoughts that are revealed in the songs of the album. Moreover, according to the artist herself, 15 is her favorite age. 
The album includes both Lorak’s famous hits, including the compositions “At First Sight” and “I’m with You,” as well as new tracks. For the first time in her entire career, the singer produced the album herself. Moreover, “15” includes two versions of the hit “Bring Back My Love” - a duet with Valery Meladze, as well as a solo performance. The new album is filled with three moods: lyrics, dance and the drive of live music. Undoubtedly, the singer did not forget to include in the album the compositions that fans and lovers of her work are accustomed to. An unexpected track on the album was a cover version of Jon Bon Jovi’s legendary hit “It’s My Life.” As you know, the musician personally gave permission to use the track in the record. The album included only one composition in Ukrainian - “I will become the sea” - in the best traditions of Lorak’s songs, which was liked by all romantics and lyricists.
This album can be called emotional, frank, courageous and sincere work, with which I have always skillfully pleased 
admirers of his talent. Impeccable vocals, live sound, high-quality music and the unrivaled performance style of the Ukrainian star cannot but charm and fascinate.
DATA
With support, three children's books were published - “How to become a star”, “How to become a princess”, “How to become a culinary star in 7 days”. The singer is also the producer of her brand.
Ukrposhta decided to immortalize the singer on its stamps. In October 2008, a personalized stamp and an envelope with an image were issued.

Ani Lorak is talented and bright singer, known and loved in Ukraine and Russia, was born on September 27, 1978 in the small town of Kitsman, near Chernivtsi, Ukraine.
Ani Lorak is the pseudonym of the singer, whose real name is Carolina. The girl was named that way by her Polish grandmother, who loved her very much.
Little Caroline’s childhood can hardly be called happy. Her parents divorced before the birth of their daughter. For some time, the girl was raised by her grandmother, but as she grew older, it became difficult for her to take care of the child and Caroline had to study at a boarding school in Chernivtsi.
The girl grew up lively and artistic. From a very young age, she dreamed of singing on stage and already at the age of 4 she began performing at children's concerts. Even an improvised stage gave her great pleasure, and she happily responded to any offer to sing in front of the audience.
First victories
Over time, Caroline's talent was noticed, and she began to take an active part in various children's competitions and festivals. She won prizes quite often, but for the first time she managed to win only in 1991 at the regional competition “Primrose”.
Here, for the first time in her life, the girl meets a real producer. Yuri Thalesa offers her a professional contract.
In 1994, Carolina actively participated in the Tavria Games, which became a launching pad for many popular performers. There, the audience liked Carolina so much that at the end of the year she did not receive the “Golden Firebird,” one of her first prestigious awards.
However, real fame, as well as the stage name that became fateful, was brought to Caroline by her participation in one of the first Russian television shows, “Morning Star,” to which the girl was invited by its permanent presenter, Yuri Nikolaev. But another girl named Caroline was already on the list of participants.
Yuri Thalesa in an original way solved the problem by simply writing the name of his ward backwards.
But it’s not for nothing that they say that nothing in life is accidental. Participation in “Morning Star,” which was broadcast throughout the country, also turned Caroline’s life 180 degrees. She became a famous young performer and a favorite of the whole country.
Taking off
All this time, Carolina not only actively performed and studied singing, but also worked hard, preparing for the release of her first solo album. The CD “I Want to Fly,” predominantly consisting of compositions in the jazz-rock style, was released in the fall of 1995.
Released in England in a small circulation of only 6 thousand discs, it did not reach Russian listeners, scattering instantly.
And Carolina, having finished working on her solo album, sets off to conquer America. There she took part in the “Big Apple Music Competition 1996” competition for young performers, in which she brilliantly won.
The singer celebrates 1997 with the release of her first video clip for the song “I'll Be Back,” which still often occupies the top lines of the charts. It was this song that became business card her next album of the same name, the presentation of which took place at the next Tavria Games.
A year later, the singer goes on her first tour, which includes not only most cities of Ukraine, but also foreign countries. The singer’s fantastically bright and strong voice captivated audiences in America, Hungary, Germany, France and brought her to the crest of a wave of fame and popularity.
On the wave of success
The young singer won the hearts of Ukrainians so much that in 1999 she became the youngest Honored Artist of Ukraine. On talented girl the master pays attention Russian stage Igor Krutoy. A phenomenal voice wins the heart of a famous composer and the result is joint creativity becomes another hit of the singer “Mirrors”.
The premiere of the song was so successful that Krutoy immediately signed a contract with Ali Lorak, who opened the young singer to the world Russian show business. And since 2000, Carolina begins her triumphant march through concert venues in Russia.
The year 2001 was marked for the singer with another prestigious award. For his new album “Where You Are,” recorded in collaboration with Krutoy, Lorak receives another “Golden Firebird”, and the disc itself also becomes gold. In 2002, Ani Lorak was named the most popular singer in Ukraine.
Also in 2002, Carolina appeared on television in a new role for herself. On New Year's Russian musical“Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka” she played the capricious Ukrainian beauty Oksana, the bride of the blacksmith Vakula.
Working on the musical, in addition to revealing the secrets of cinema for the singer, allowed her to meet almost all the Russian pop stars and move to a completely different level in this environment.
Eurovision
In 2004, Ani Lorak, who released her next album “Three Zvichnyh Words”, became the best Ukrainian singer of the year. She is preparing an English-language album, which she plans to present at Eurovision in 2005. The song from this album “Smile” quickly becomes a hit and the singer’s chances of getting into the prestigious competition are very high.
However, the events of the Orange Revolution played a cruel joke on the singer’s career. Bypassing the hassle of pre-selection, the patriotic group “Grinjoly” passes through the final stage of the Eurovision qualifying competition, and eventually goes to represent Ukraine. However, European viewers turned out to be far from revolutionary passions, and the group was received rather coldly.
Carolina, despite the temporary setback, continues to perform successfully and record new songs, which quickly win the top positions in the charts. In addition, she begins to actively engage in social activities and charity. Soon she is appointed UN Goodwill Ambassador for HIV in Ukraine.
In 2008, having successfully passed all the qualifying tests, Carolina still goes to Eurovision with the song “From Heaven to Heaven”, for which at the end of the year she receives the Golden Gramophone. At Eurovision, Ani Lorak takes an honorable second place. And a year later she again received the “Golden Gramophone” for the song “Sun”, and she herself became “Person of the Year” in the “Idol of Ukrainians” category.
In the winter of 2018, Ani Lorak showed the world her grandiose show “Diva”. This is truly a very large-scale show, during which the singer is on stage for all three hours. While performing songs, Carolina performs complex stunts and changes 240 outfits. The director of this action is Oleg Bondarchuk.
By the way, he was the director of the singer’s last show “Carolina”. Both the shows “Carolina” and “Diva” are to some extent autobiographical and describe the status of Ani Lorak. The singer dedicates her latest show to all women. This show attracts full houses at the largest venues in Russia.
Besides his big show singer for Lately She recorded several songs in a duet with famous performers Emin and Mot. These songs - “I Can’t Say”, “Say Goodbye”, “Soprano” - have already become hits.
Ani Lorak (Karolina Kuek) is open and frank in all areas of her life. Even her stage name is a transformed personal name of the singer, only written backwards, and not something made up purely for the sake of euphony. It was first pronounced in 1996 on an episode of the Morning Star program.
Biography
Caroline was born on September 27, 1978 in the Chernivtsi region city of Kitsman. Everyday difficulties did not affect the character of the perky girl, who was raised with two older brothers only by her mother; her father left them before her daughter was born.
With mom and brothers
The modest income of her mother, who worked several jobs, did not give her the opportunity to feed her children and arrange a good home. Therefore, soon after moving to Chernivtsi, Caroline’s mother accepted difficult decision send them to the Sadgori boarding school.
The girl spent most of her time in the institution until the 7th grade. But unlike many other boarding school children, she and her brothers were at home on weekends, periodically met with their father and received gifts of toys and candy from him. Returning to school, Caroline always shared sweets with the other children. Another source of Caroline’s sweet “income” was performances at concerts and matinees, where she was constantly invited to sing.
The girl first felt recognition of her talent at the age of four, when people walking nearby gathered around her, singing to the accompaniment of a portable transistor. local residents. Not stingy with applause after each song, they unwittingly helped the “star” decide on his choice life path. Caroline decided to sing not only for her own pleasure, but also for the joy of her listeners.
The first significant step towards the big stage took place in 1992, when Caroline was helped to get to the Chernivtsi festival of young talents. There were many participants, but she was able to win. “Primrose” brought her not only her first recognition on a regional scale, but also gave her an acquaintance with Yuri Thales.
A professional producer highly appreciated the potential of the festival winner and even signed a contract with her.
Ani Lorak won the super final of the television competition “Morning Star”, won the “Tavria Games”, received two international awards, earned the title of Honorary Artist of Israel and performed at many small concerts.
Competition "Morning Star"
After receiving honorary title The singer’s enthusiasm only increased. In 1999, Carolina became an Honored Artist of Ukraine. Today, her collection includes more than one “Golden Gramophone”, dozens of awards, awards as one of the most stylish singers of our time and, of course, her own albums in Ukrainian, Russian and English language. The singer also often has to pose for magazines, including nude ones.

Personal life
Yuri Thales became for Carolina not only a mentor in the profession, but also the first great love. The first 4 years of their relationship were filled only with a passion for art. Yuri and Carolina became a de facto family in 1996.
Naturally, work came first in this union, so little time was allocated for real romance. It is possible that it was the lack of attention as a woman that caused the breakup in 2004. Although later in his interviews Yuri veiledly hinted at the same problem, but in relation to himself.
Living under the gaze of the paparazzi is not the sweetest thing in the world. I glanced a little at how tomorrow your more than close relationship will be trumpeted in all the media. This is what happened with football player Sergei Rebrov. There are no photographs of them together, but the media wrote a lot about their relationship.
Passion brought benefits to the career of the lover - new songs appeared, imbued with special energy. It’s enough to listen to “Dream about me” and understand that this is not just a talented work.
Alas, a little later a new confession “Rozkazhi” was born, which became another hit for fans of the singer’s talent. But, in essence, it was a recognition that disappointment in the chosen one is a very painful and offensive thing.
Ani Lorak and her husband Murat Nalchadzhioglu
Resentment towards men simply transformed into Ani’s everyday experience, but Murat Nalchadzhioglu, the man with whom she decided to officially link her destiny, was able to change this. A handsome, stately Turk lit a spark in her heart from the first meeting, which was not distinguished by romantic circumstances.
There was even a version in the media about a somewhat ambiguous joke made by Murat to the new hotel guest when their paths crossed. Or is it all due to an inaccurate translation of a phrase in a foreign language?
Anya was halfway on a work trip, and he held one of the management positions at the hotel where the singer was staying. For the next four years, these two met periodically, constantly kept in touch and systematically fought off the advice of relatives and friends, who prophesied the fragility of the nascent relationship. On August 15, 2009, Murat and Carolina officially got married in Kyiv, having arranged festive event about this in Turkey.
The most important jewel of this marriage is the angel Sofia, adored by dad and mom, born on June 9, 2011.

And since then he has been actively involved in the life of his goddaughter, which is quite simple. After all, Philip and Caroline are family friends, organize joint name day celebrations, and visit each other with their children on creative tours.

Ani Lorak divorced
Over time, information about the novels of Murat Nalchadzhioglu began to appear regularly in the press. While Lorak worked in Russia, her husband was often seen in Kyiv nightclubs with other girls.
In the summer of 2018, video and photographic evidence of Murat’s betrayal appeared in the media. The couple openly showed their feelings in one of the karaoke bars in Kyiv:
The girl was quickly identified; she turned out to be Yana Belova - socialite and businesswoman.
During all this time, Ani Lorak never commented on her husband’s infidelity. On February 1, 2019, they officially divorced. The meeting was closed, but it is known that neither Lorak nor Murat were present at it. They have not yet filed a claim for the division of property and custody of their daughter. On this moment Sofia lives with her mother in Moscow.
Ani Lorak is one of the most sexy stars show business. Unlike her colleagues in the industry, her image is not filled with vulgarity or excessive vulgarity.
The singer’s gentle and sophisticated nature has become a kind of role model for many aspiring singers. Her appearance was appreciated by such famous companies as Schwarzkopf & Henkel and Oriflame.
A musical projects received huge success in the CIS countries and provided the singer with the love of millions of fans. But the beginning of this story turned out to be quite gloomy...
Hard childhood
The future star, Karolina Miroslavovna Kuek, was born in the village of Kitsman, Chernigov region. The parents developed, and all the hardships of raising a daughter and two brothers fell to the mother.
Working as an announcer on a local radio did not bring the desired income, so I had to look for additional income to feed my family.
In this regard, the children were sent to study at a boarding school. There Caroline showed her artistic inclinations, taking an active part in school concerts.
At one of the competitions, the girl was noticed by producer Yuri Thales and offered her her first serious contract. Thus began the “ascension to the stars” of a talented performer from the Ukrainian hinterland.
After her performance at Morning Star, the girl began to be recognized and invited to various festivals. But bad luck, she found a competitor in Russia with the same name.
To avoid confusion, the Ukrainian decided to make herself a pseudonym, twisting her name backwards. This is how Ani Lorak was born.
First confession
In the mid-90s, the girl took part in the annual competition “Tavria Games”, winning a landslide victory there. The young talent of Ani Lorak was immediately noted by the jury, who deservedly recognized the artist as a real discovery of the year.
The singer’s first solo project was called “I Want to Fly.” It was positively noted by the public and became a kind of bridge to the big stage for the performer.
In 1999, in her homeland, Ani Lorak received the title of “Honored Artist,” becoming the youngest holder of this title in Ukraine.
I liked the image of a gentle and romantic girl famous producer Igor Krutoy. Together they release the “Mirrors” video and sign a lucrative contract. In 2001, a new collection by Ani Lorak was published.
It received gold status based on the number of copies sold. In addition, the singer is included in the rating of the most attractive girls peace. She also becomes the face of global cosmetics brands.
Eurovision success and solo career
Ani Lorak was nominated as a contender for the Eurovision Song Contest back in 2005. But then she was not allowed into the finals due to the participation of the Grinjola group.
The guys from Ivano-Frankivsk were simply “squeezed” into the selection due to their popularity on the Maidan during the “Orange Revolution”.
But besides the Ukrainians themselves, practically no one supported the group and therefore they took only 19th place at the competition.
But in 2008, Ani Lorak finally received her pass to the prestigious European music festival.
In the final, she performed the song “Shady Lady”, taking an honorable second place. This was a significant success for the performer, which was consolidated by the release of the new album “Sun”.
2011 became one of the busiest years in the artist’s stage life. She receives the title of “person of the year”, and the composition “For You” is included in the top 20 best songs.
Her albums are extremely successful in the CIS countries, and her singles do not leave the top of the charts on domestic radio stations.
The last years of the singer’s work were darkened political events in Ukraine. Due to her participation in Russian concerts, Ukrainian nationalists begin to accuse the singer of treason.
At an Odessa concert in 2014, a serious brawl broke out between radical youth and the police, during which several dozen people were injured.
Representatives of the authorities also join the accusations, calling the singer’s statements about the conflict in Donbass anti-Ukrainian.
The singer's personal life
Yuri Thales was not only the girl’s first producer. Together they lived in civil marriage about 8 years old.
A year after the breakup, the singer met businessman Murat Nalchadzhioglu at the Antalya resort.
For the sake of the girl, he moved to live in Ukraine and after 3 years of courtship he proposed. Their wedding took place in 2009.
In 2011, their daughter Sofia was born, whose godfather he himself became.
