ANGELA
«Music for me is freedom»
Ukrainian singer ANGELA talked about her first performance on stage, where she received her education and how she started her career as a singer.
When did you realize that you wanted to be a singer?
As long as I can remember, I always sang. My first public performance was at the age of four, when I went to kindergarten in Zhytomyr. My compatriots still remember, during meetings they talk about my first appearance on stage. My first performance in front of a large audience as a singer was on the podium. In the program of the event, it was not written that I should go to the podium and sing. It was my initiative, most likely — my improvisation! After all, I forgot the words that I had to say after the presentation of the swimsuit series. My colleagues from the podium were immediately surprised that I also sing well. After all, I never told them about it. A week after the show, a glossy magazine with my photos was published. In the article, you could read about the collection of swimwear, dresses, about the music break of the event and about the "singing model in the image of an angel». Currently, I have more than 30 works in various formats: from Ukrainian songs to modern original and experimental music. I still supplement my concert repertoire with Ukrainian songs. I have a desire and great potential to do what I love, giving the public my talent and the warmth of my soul. I am ready to share the secrets of professional skills with talented youth and do not forget about the popularization of Ukrainian national art
Where did you get your education?
She studied music from an early age, in particular, she learned to play the piano at a music school. I played beautifully, my teachers were sure that I would become an outstanding pianist in the future. But I myself decided to be a singer.She received her professional education at the Taras Shevchenko KNU with a diploma of financier, but she never worked in her profession for a day.
Office work is not for me
How did you start your career? Who helped in this?
I started playing music at the age of 8. My dad is a musician, so I had someone to emulate. Music for me is freedom. Music will always support you and it doesn't matter if you are a child or an adult, it knows the way to every heart
I am impressed by artists not only as characters, but also as strong-willed people with principles and values. This list definitely includes Rihanna, The Weekend, Adele, Bruno Mars, Lana Del Rey. The main qualities that help to achieve the goal are hard work, talent and creativity
You must be an interesting person, because there are already so many different artists. Only when I had the opportunity to work in my profession and help my country at the same time, I came to life
It keeps me going today. Because I have the opportunity to work on the music front. We can be useful to our country. We will definitely return and rebuild our country, live in a free and independent Ukraine! This is our dream and goal!
Describe who ANGELA is?
It all started in early childhood with a simple desire to be happy.
It was the songs that I associated with a feeling of joy: the music played — everyone was dancing, singing, having fun. As a child, I liked to play actresses, singers and models. My father often called me an artist in my childhood! Fortunately, with an attractive appearance and a model walk, you can realize yourself in many ways
I chose a modeling career, after which I began to focus more on my development.
When I was offered to become the advertising face of a beauty salon, I was very happy. After all, I started making money in the modeling business
After successfully participating in beauty contests, I thought I would only be a model, but then I started writing songs
People, listening to them, asked me: "And when to sing? You have such an angelic voice! And songs! I want to live under them."
It was after that that I began to sing them and realize myself as a singer
We created a special stage persona under the pseudonym AngelA. The songs I write are related to me in one way or another. And now I know for sure: everything is possible, the impossible just takes a little more time
How do you choose your songs?
I don't choose rhymes specifically, I don't sit up at night, I don't think about which word to insert… It's just that this process happens by itself. I can't explain why. Well, for example, you are lying in bed, falling asleep and suddenly inspiration comes. A rhythm, a poem begins to emerge in your thoughts, you write it down, and then you make a song in your free time. I perform and invent songs in the style of pop, Euro-pop. It's something I'll always be high on, something I'll sing anywhere.These are usually tracks with a good melody, an unusual beat and meaning But, of course, I always have jazz. This is the best music, which is the basis, on which you should learn to sing and develop your taste and skills
I don't write music for clubs or a good addition. It must be heard and felt
If you weren't singing, what would you be doing? What are your hobbies?
I really like to paint outdoors when I'm not working. I try to do this once a month. I paint outside, because I instantly develop an allergy to the smell of paint indoors.
I also like to travel and do sports in my free time. I enjoy spending time with my family. Sometimes we get together as families with friends, we spend time having tea — these are my hobbies.
To cheer myself and my friends up, I shoot interesting videos on my phone, which I later post on the Internet. The videos suddenly started getting a huge amount of views, turning my fun hobby into a profitable business, making me one of the most popular vloggers in the world. At least there will be something to remember in old age!
