Description
Elena Vaenga is a Russian singer, actress and songwriter, Honored Artist of the Republics of Adygea and Mari El. Her path to success was not easy, but she was able to become a real phenomenon of show business, winning the hearts of millions of fans.
Elena was born on January 27, 1977 in Severomorsk, Murmansk region. The singer's real surname is Khruleva, and the stage name Vaenga was invented by her mother in honor of the river and city where she was born. Since childhood, Elena has shown creative talent: at the age of three, she danced to the sounds of a vacuum cleaner, and at the age of nine, she wrote her first song, “Doves,” which won a prize at the All-Union Competition of Young Composers.
After moving to St. Petersburg, Elena entered the Rimsky-Korsakov Music College, and then the Theater Academy. Despite successfully graduating from the Baltic Institute of Ecology, Politics and Law, she was always attracted to music. Her common-law husband Ivan Matvienko, who became her producer, made a great contribution to her career.
The first album, “Portrait,” was released in 2003, but real success came with the album “White Bird” in 2005. For the song “I Smoke,” Elena received her first award, the Golden Gramophone, and then for the song Airport. She has many awards to her credit, including Song of the Year, Chanson of the Year, Muz-TV Award, and others.
Her work is unique and does not fit into the framework of pop music or chanson. Vaenga's songs are familiar to many generations, and each concert is a sincere emotion and personal experience conveyed to the audience. Every year, Elena performs in various cities in Russia and Europe, and at the end of January and beginning of February, she traditionally gives a concert at the Oktyabrsky Concert Hall in honor of her birthday.
If you want to immerse yourself in the world of sincere emotions and live sound, do not miss the opportunity to see her performance. Buying tickets on our website is easy and convenient. The schedule and poster of events with Elena Vaenga's participation can also be viewed on our website.
