The future singer Pelageya was born in 1986 in the city of Novosibirsk. At the time of registering the birth certificate, the registry office staff made a mistake and registered the girl as Polina. Only at the age of 16, when she received a passport, the singer was able to regain the name that her parents had originally given her. By the way, this is a family name: the child was named after his grandmother.

The artist also did not bear the surname Khanova from birth; She received it from her stepfather, who raised her as his own daughter. The little girl practically didn’t know her own father – she and her mother broke up very early. Mother future star She was once a famous jazz vocalist, but after a long illness she lost her voice. Svetlana had to start working in the theater. Now she is a director and teaches acting, and is also a producer for her daughter.

Pelageya Khanova's career began in early childhood. At the age of four, the girl took part in a kindergarten production. The child really enjoyed performing on stage, and four years later the mother enrolled her daughter in a music school at the Novosibirsk Conservatory. It is noteworthy that by that time the school had been operating for 25 years, but only instrumentalists, not vocalists, studied there. At one of the performances at the conservatory, the girl was noticed by Dmitry Revyakin, lead singer of the Kalinov Most group. He invited the young vocalist to go to Moscow and become a participant in the Morning Star program. The girl managed to win this competition, and in 1996 the 10-year-old performer was recognized as the best folk vocalist of Russia.

After this, the artist competed in some other prestigious music competitions. In addition, the girl began to play in KVN for the university team of her native Novosibirsk. During the same period, Pelageya was lucky enough to sing in front of the presidents of Russia, France and Germany at a trilateral summit of the heads of these states.

At the age of 14, the girl graduated from school ahead of schedule and settled in the capital, entering the Academy of Theater Arts. That same year, the singer became the lead singer of the group of the same name, which soon released its first album, “Lyubo!” The group sang in a very unusual style, but perhaps it was thanks to this that the disc quickly became popular.

Thus, from the age of 14, the singer began touring and recording compositions in the studio. The artist managed to work in several directions at once, and with constant success. For example, in 2003, the vocalist graduated with honors and simultaneously recorded her second album. In 2006-2009, Pelageya Khanova actively performed at concerts in Russia and other countries former USSR, took part in many competitions and famous festivals.

The audience fell in love with the mentor’s sincere emotions and her feelings for all the contestants without exception. Being the only populist among all the mentors, the singer often gives folk songs to her wards.

Previously, the artist was also on the jury of the adult “Voice”, but recently she was replaced by Polina Gagarina.

Personal life of Pelageya

In 1997, during the KVN games in Novosibirsk, Pelageya met Dmitry Efimovich, who later became the director of the television project “Comedy Woman”. At that time, Dmitry played for one of the teams, but the guys did not become friends.

Many years later, the singer and director met by chance in Moscow, and tender feelings arose between them. In 2010, the couple legalized their relationship. This was the girl’s first serious novel, since in her youth she was not particularly popular with young people. Fans sincerely hoped that the marriage with Efimovich would be successful.

After the wedding, the singer took the surname of her husband, who, by the way, is 11 years older than her. However, after 2 years, the vocalist again began to appear in the world as Pelageya Khanova. Soon the public learned that the singer and her husband were officially divorced. According to one version, the reason for the separation was Dmitry’s betrayal. According to another version, the husband already wanted a child at that time, and the singer threw herself into work and was in no hurry to have a baby.

The artist was very worried about the divorce. She found salvation in active work and in searching for new material for musical creativity. Gradually, the pain from the failed marriage passed, and the singer again began to believe that she would meet her true love.

In the second season of the show “The Voice,” one of the members of her team, Dmitry Sorochenkov, drew the attention of Pelageya. It is noteworthy that the young man is not only the namesake of the singer’s ex-husband, but also resembles him in appearance. Dmitry publicly stated that the mentor turned his heart, and the singer also admitted more than once that she was not indifferent to her ward. However, rumors about their romance were not confirmed.

Pelageya Khanova was also credited with another romance on the “Voice” project - this time with colleague Dima Bilan. The basis for such guesses was a photograph in which the singers tenderly embrace in one of the bars. As in the case of Dmitry Sorochenkov, the rumors turned out to be groundless.

In the summer of 2016, it became known that Pelageya was dating the famous hockey player Ivan Telegin. During one of Telegin’s matches, the paparazzi caught the “Voice” mentor on the podium, who had an engagement ring on her ring finger. Then the athlete’s relatives confirmed: there will be a wedding! It would seem worth rejoicing for Pelageya. However, following the news about the new boyfriend, information appeared that Khanova had taken the guy away from the family. In February, Ivan and his girlfriend Evgenia had a son, Mark, but the child did not save the union from collapse.

Pelageya refused to comment on this shocking statement. But after some time, a message from a representative of the group (presumably Svetlana Gennadievna Khanova) appeared on its official website under numerous questions from fans.

“I will answer here for the first and last time,” the comment reads. - Vanya was not married. When they met Polya, he was no longer in a relationship. All. I suggest we end here."

On June 16, 2016, Pelageya and Ivan Telegin played a secret wedding. Their wedding took place in the Kutuzovsky registry office, and the banquet took place in one of the Rublevsky restaurants. Among the guests of the event were only the closest relatives and friends. Among the star people are Lera Kudryavtseva and Igor Makarov.

A month after the wedding, everyone noticed that Pelageya was in an interesting position. On January 21, 2017, she gave birth to a girl, whom she and Ivan named Taisiya.

Always smiling and cheerful, Pelageya is used to keeping a respectful distance from strangers. It’s not easy to earn the trust of the girl hosting the “Voice Children” show. The owner of a beautiful voice is very shy and believes that she has no competitive spirit, so all competitions are held as the next step to achieve the desired goal.

But modesty and small stature do not prevent the singer with a gorgeous biography from remaining the most beloved performer of our time. She always looks great and this is not surprising given such parameters: Pelageya Sergeevna’s height is 163 cm and her weight is 53 kg. But just recently the girl looked different.

The lover of high-calorie Siberian cuisine weighed 7 kg more. Helped a show business star proper diet when food is consumed in small portions 5-6 times a day.

The folk diva was born on July 14, 1986 in Novosibirsk, which is considered the third city in the Russian Federation in terms of population. According to her horoscope, she is Cancer, so she is always sensitive to people and suffers from increased emotionality. I am an introvert by nature.

In an interview, the singer admits that she always starts crying when talking about her loved ones. Such an amazing feature of a strong and strong-willed star seems incredible to fans. Many people mistakenly consider the name Pelagia to be a pseudonym, but it is real and is translated as “sea”.

Childhood

Pelageya Sergeevna Khanova became a world star thanks to her mother. Jazz performer Svetlana early childhood gave her daughter the opportunity to do exclusively what she liked. But at the same time, the girl knew that there were certain prohibitions that should not be violated.

For example, Pelageya was not allowed to watch TV programs that did not carry important information. And Soviet cartoons were encouraged because they helped my daughter develop as a person.

From the age of three, the plump girl loved to dress up in her mother’s clothes and perform independently invented performances. Polya, as they used to call her at home and at work, sang songs from the popular film “Goodbye, Mary Poppins!” and danced. Then mother Svetlana, who worked as a director at a local theater, decided to send Pelageya to ballet school.

But the girl was not accepted because she was overweight. That's why he's already dancing adult woman very rarely. She talks with admiration about her mother, who, having used up her resources as a singer, managed to start everything from scratch, becoming not only a director of performances, but also a teacher of acting and directing.

Interesting fact! Little Polya made her first performance on stage at the age of 3 years. Mom, who organized an exhibition of her fabric paintings in the city on the Neva, included the restless singer in the program. But Pelageya, who received enthusiastic applause from art connoisseurs, got scared and burst into tears on stage. The girl still remembers this moment, considering the performance a failure.

Pelageya managed to correct the mistake three years later. Mom Svetlana was invited to the radio for an interview. The singer, who had lost her voice, was unable to sing, and the daughter decided to take advantage of the moment and show her talents. This performance in front of a large audience of listeners with the Siberian lament song “Dropped the Ring” restored the little girl’s self-confidence.

Studies

Her creative mother, who instilled in Pelageya a love of books and art, helped her become a bright and interesting person. A young intellectual at the age of 8 read Mikhail Bulgakov’s book “The Master and Margarita”, enjoying the fantastic story of the main character.

Seeing that her daughter was not inclined to the exact sciences, Svetlana Khanova allowed her to focus on humanitarian subjects. It was this attentive parental approach that made Pelagia who she is now.

The singer admits that grades in chemistry, physics and other exact sciences were given to her simply so that she would move to the next class. But she knew literature and other subjects better than her classmates. She owes everything that Pelageya has achieved to her mother. According to the star, there was no such figure in her life as dad. And Polya’s grandmother did not live to see the birth of her granddaughter. It was in her honor that the folk music performer was named.

Carier start

The young soloist with a strong voice appeared on stage at the age of four. And already at 8 she became a student at a specialized school at the conservatory of the city of Novosibirsk. The girl managed to get into the course without competition. She was invited by a teacher who was fascinated by her voice.

A year later, at one of the competitions, the girl was noticed by the founder of the Kalinov Most group, Dmitry Aleksandrovich Revyakin. The composer persuaded Polya to take part in the “Morning Star” show in the capital of the Russian Federation. The performance was stunning. The gifted singer received her first significant award, becoming “Best Folk Song Performer of 1996.” But the most unexpected thing was receiving a bonus of 1000 in foreign currency.

In 1997, the aspiring pop star entered into a contract with the independent music company Feelee Records and recorded his first two songs: “Kozak” and “Lyubo, brothers.” Having decided to start a career as a performer of non-standard music, the gifted girl moves to Moscow with her mother and begins new life in the world of show business.

To become a professional in the pop field, Pelageya agreed to enter school No. 1113 with a musical and choreographic focus. She also attended classes at RAM. IN school years The artist distinguished herself by singing in a duet with the following world stars:

• rock musician Garik, founder of the “Manual Sunset” groups, P.S. "Brigade C";
• leader of the Nautilus group Vyacheslav Gennadievich Butusov;
• the legendary British rock band Depeche Mode, performing music in its own unique style;
• Alexander Feliksovich Sklyar, founder of the Va-Bank group and organizer of the alternative music festival;
• Inna Yurievna Zhelannaya is the leader of the folk group Farlanders and the soloist of the Alliance group.

A talented girl is repeatedly invited to interesting and bright projects, but they all take place during the holidays. The girl’s mother does not allow her to leave school for a long time. In 1997, the aspiring artist became a member of the KVN team of her hometown.

Working in a humorous group helped Polya open up and realize the significance of the scene in her life. But then the girl realized that KVN is not what she wants to spend time and energy on. Therefore, Pelageya left the team, maintaining warm friendly relations with its members.

In 1988, the girl spoke at the G8 Summit in front of the heads of foreign countries.

In 1999, a crisis ensued and the artist was forced to terminate her contract with the creators of alternative music, Feelee Records. Svetlana Khanova becomes her new producer. Fascinated by non-standard melodies, the daughter and mother gather a company of virtuoso musicians and become the organizers of the Pelageya group.

The first performance of the group performing folk-rock music takes place at the Central House of Artists. A crowded hall and completely sold out tickets are the first resounding success, followed by a series of performances at the cult club “Chinese pilot Zhao-Da”. The group gains its first loyal fans.

Rise, popularity

The artist admits that real touring life for her began only as a student. Living in a metropolis, Pelageya often took part in competitions and recorded her first albums. But Svetlana’s mother believed that her daughter should not be distracted from her studies.

Having graduated as an external student high school, the girl goes to receive higher education at GITIS at the faculty pop vocals. Folk music has repeatedly attracted the attention of the government. Pelageya and her team are invited to important events for the country.

And in 2001, the aspiring star received an apartment under the patronage of the government of the Russian capital. In 2003, the group's first album was released and solo songs recorded in childhood were released.

Small changes are taking place in Pelageya's team. Instead of two solo guitars, there is a solo and bass. Young people led by leader Pavel Deshura receive an invitation to the main square of Moscow.

I gave this name to the girl dear grandmother, but the registry office thought differently and decided that the newborn’s name would be Polina. In fact, the workers simply assumed that Pelageya and Polina are the same name, only the first is outdated, but the second is modern and sonorous. Pelageya was able to officially return her name only when it was time to apply for a passport. Pelageya's last name is Khanova and she got it from her stepfather; she never communicated with her father and does not know him.

Pelageya’s mother was a fairly popular and famous jazz singer. But, unfortunately, she lost her voice due to illness. She continued to build her career on the theater stage. She worked as a director and taught acting.

Little Pelageya with her mother

A native Siberian, Pelageya grew up as a very gifted child. The girl learned to read very early, when she was only three years old, she read her first novel “Gargantua and Pantagruel” by Rabelais, and at the age of ten she was already carried away by “The Master and Margarita” and mastered reading it from cover to cover. Developed in creative direction the future singer from a very young age, and this was primarily facilitated by her mother.

My mother taught vocals to her daughter; she can safely be called her first teacher. And all because they were afraid to harm the voice of the future singer, to spoil her wide range.

The beginning of a creative journey

Pelageya began to take her first steps to Olympus of glory at the age of 4. But it was just a performance staged by the teachers kindergarten. The first appearance on stage was successful.

Then the career of the little girl Pelageya, whose talent no one doubted, quickly took off. She performed at the competition “Young Talents of Siberia”, “New Names of the Planet”, and also became a member of the KVN team from NSU University. Pelagia was entrusted with singing at the trilateral summit for the presidents of Russia, France and Germany.
