Masha Goya was born on November 12, 1988 in the city of Krivoy Rog.
The singer's real name is Maria Shapovalova. Nickname " MaSha GoYa" was taken in honor of her favorite Spanish artist Francisco De Goya. Masha is sure that the name of the person who inspires her with his creativity will undoubtedly bring her good luck.

Masha has been performing on stage for about 15 years. At five she was already singing as part of the show group “Notka”, which captivated the audience of such festivals as “Black Sea Games”, “Tavria Games”, “Eastern Bazaar” and others. Her entire childhood was spent traveling and touring, and if she had free time, it was devoted to learning vocals and playing the piano.

After graduating from school, the singer did not immediately move to Kyiv. Masha hesitated whether to choose music as her life’s work, because in some ways it was a big risk. Having entered the Odessa National Academy of Law, the singer realized that only music brings her true pleasure in life, only music does she want to earn her living.
After studying for six months, Masha transferred to the correspondence department and moved to Kyiv at her own peril and risk: without money and connections, without relatives nearby.
In 2006, the singer entered the Glier School, and after 2 months she transferred to the Variety and Circus Academy. Utesova. There Masha honed her skills and slowly made her way into show business.

Masha was taken into the group "SMS". After staying there for two months, the artist, quite by accident, thanks to her friend, agreed to meet with the producer. Yuri was very surprised when Masha opened the door with her foot and was clearly outraged by his lateness to the office. It took literally half an hour for the producer to negotiate the signing of the contract: he was impressed by the video of Masha’s debut performance on stage. The singer, of course, accepted his offer and left the group. In November 2009, her debut video “Love-Marijuana” was immediately released, which caused a storm of emotions both in the press and on television.
Masha is a very adventurous person, and thanks to this quality, she, like many aspiring artists, wanted to try her hand at television musical projects. The most interesting thing is that Goya’s desire to participate in a television project became the main subject of quarrels with her producer. Yuri Thalesa never approved of such shows, but unable to withstand the young artist’s inflexibility and persistence, he gave in to her.
A lot of time was spent preparing for castings and participating in them. After Goya entered Star Factory 4, she was proud that she had achieved what she wanted. But participation in the project was not what she expected. But it was thanks to the Factory that the singer realized that she should work on her solo album and not call herself an “ex-factory owner.”
In February 2012, her video “One Winter” was released. The coldness and melancholy of the artist at a certain period of her life were like a cry from the soul. And despite -15C outside, in Goya’s heart there is always only a plus: “You can love me or hate me! You will not remain indifferent in any case!” - Masha Goya characterizes herself.

After the release of the video for the track “Phantastic” on TV channels in Russia and Ukraine, in which the singer appeared in a new image and musical direction, viewers and fans of Masha began to support her in experimenting with herself and her creativity.
“During these three years, it was very important for me to find myself, to find my style. There were days when I gave up and no longer believed that everything would work out. But there is one person who believed in me within 30 minutes of our acquaintance, and has not stopped doing this for 4 years - this is my producer Yuri Thales. I am glad to present to all listeners and fans my brainchild, my first album “I Don’t Play”. Live to the fullest, because there is one thing that will never happen to you again - this is life” - Masha Goya.

In December 2012, Masha Goya took part in the Russian vocal show “The Voice” on Channel One. No one could even think that Ukrainian singer will reach the finals. Masha Goya went through 5 qualifying rounds and captivated audiences all over Russia with her performance of the following compositions: “Simply the best”, an opera aria from “The 5th Element”, Ukrainian folk song“Oh, don’t light up the month”, “Its my life” Masha Goya started 2013 with a new video for the song “Don’t be afraid of partings”. Already in the spring it took place fateful meeting at one of the recording studios with the talented singer and composer Yulia Pyltsa. The singers’ communication inspired Yulia to write the track “GIRL LOVE”, the video for which was released in the summer. Another good news was that the girls are planning to record an album, where Yulia Pyltsa will be the songwriter. “MASHA: I really enjoyed working with Yulia, she is a wonderful, deep person, she understood my condition one hundred percent, my inner world and depicted it in this song"

Friends! Please note: in order to correctly correct the lyrics of the song, you need to highlight at least two words

[Verse 1, Masha & Rada]:
A cigarette flickers in the darkness, the wind throws ashes in my face.
And the charred filter left a burn on my fingers.
The door opened with a steel creak. You are coming, you are mine now -
I feel a pleasant shiver from head to toe.

Chorus:

[Verse 2, Masha & Rada]:
Erotic Moonlight will forbid you to say “no”.
And all my laundry will fall smoothly to the floor.
The noise of the trees and the night wind, the groan will drown out yours and mine -
And the beating of a heart blazing with hellish fire.

Chorus:
Forget everything with me - this night will seem like a dream to us.
You will take me and hold me like your own daughter.
We will be enveloped in cigarette smoke. You will leave when dawn comes
And the marks on the bed will remind you of a happy night.

Forget everything with me - this night will seem like a dream to us.
You will take me and hold me like your own daughter.
We will be enveloped in cigarette smoke. You will leave when dawn comes
And the marks on the bed will remind you of a happy night.
