Svetlana Anatolevna Nazarenko, better known as Aya, is the vocalist of the group "City 312". At one time, she made a real breakthrough in show business, gathered stadiums and won the love of millions of fans from all over Russia and from neighboring countries.
Biography of Svetlana Nazarenko
The future star of show business was born on October 17, 1970 in the city of Bishkek, the Republic of Kyrgyzstan. Her parents are representatives of professions that have absolutely nothing to do with creativity, but singing in the family was very appreciated.
Nine years after the birth of Svetlana, she had a younger brother, who was named Alexei.
When the girl was seven years old, she was sent to a children's choir, where she immediately began to solo. In 1982, Sveta performed at the national festival of folk art, where she was spotted by one of the best teachers of vocal art - Rafail Sarlykov.
The teacher liked the girl so much that he immediately invited her to perform in his ensemble called "Araket". This collective performed national songs of the peoples of the Soviet Union, as well as German, Spanish, Latin American songs. The ensemble often went on tour around the country, earned fame, even won the All-Union Political Song Festival in Moscow. But for young Svetlana Nazarenko, this did not seem to be a great achievement - she did not want to be just one of the vocalists, the ambitious girl longed for the fame of the soloist and therefore left the ensemble.
Further activities
Svetlana Nazarenko came up with a pseudonym under which she will speak - Aya. She began to constantly participate in various competitions, concerts, festivals that were held in the Union, achieved more and more success, and won prizes.
After winning the competitions, the girl decided to consolidate her success and began to record the record. Her first albums were Magnetic Night and Broken Radio.

The appearance of the group "City 312"

Svetlana Nazarenko became the soloist of the group.
It turned out to be much more difficult to conquer Moscow than Kyrgyzstan. The guys lived five of them in a small apartment, ate what they had to. But after a couple of years, the group gained fame. First they won the Rainbow of Talents contest. Then their famous hits “Out of Access Zone” and “Turn around” began to sound from every yard, every car in Moscow, they began to give concerts in the best halls of the capital.
