How many were there - beauties from beauty contests who decided to start a musical career? Many can no longer be remembered, even if you look closely at the photo. But some managed to accomplish a feat - to issue a one-hundred-percent hit, which even after 20 years is played at discos and on the radio. Today we recall who Julia Akhonkova is. And also, than this young lady was remembered.
Biography
Julia Akhonkova was born on February 5, 1985. The native Muscovite was no different from her peers, but she blossomed with age and decided to try her hand at a beauty contest. At 17, she became a participant in the Miss Russia contest in 2003. Her height is only 170 cm, and this is not enough to make a successful career in the modeling business. Attractive appearance helped her reach the finals and win the competition.
Having received the main prize, she experienced some disappointment. Now she had the right to go and compete for the Miss Universe crown, but only girls over 18 years old were allowed to participate in the competition. When the moment of adulthood came, she could only be content with European competition. She failed to get Miss Europe, but this did not upset the girl - she already had other plans.
Music career
In the same year, Julia recorded the song "Illegal Angel" - a cover of the famous song by American performer Juis Newton. Soon, the music video, which was, as they say, “tear out your eyes”, began to be twisted on all music channels. The abundance of red, the blonde and the motorcycle looked harmonious - I liked the video, and the plain text and the clinging chorus were the main component of success for that time. The song did not become a hit, but the debut was a success. Photos of Julia Akhonkova appear in magazines: the beauty is quickly gaining popularity.
Spit Eternity
This is exactly what the performers themselves call 100% hits. Not many manage during their entire singing career to “give birth” to a composition that will win the hearts of listeners. Julia Akhonkova succeeded. Her song “Candy Taste” blew up the air of music channels. It could be heard everywhere, and the refrain was so sticky that then it would spin all day in my head and tongue. No wonder one of the KVN teams chose it for their number and made a splash after many years.
But you won’t get far with two songs - the blonde signs a contract with already eminent producers - Joseph Prigozhin and Viktor Drobysh. Unfortunately, a miracle did not happen, and nothing good came of this union. The girl did not become a star. There wasn’t enough vocal data or luck turned away - however, Prigogine, after this experience, promised to work with beginner singers.
What did not suit the two producers, attracted Vladimir Dubovitsky. He already had experience working with singers - his wives were Tatyana Ovsienko and Irina Allegrova at one time. With such agility, he began to untwist the girl, that soon she gave birth to a son from him. But again it did not work out - neither a career, nor a relationship.
