Valeria (Alla Perfilova) is a Soviet and Russian pop singer. She is the holder of the title "People's Artist of Russia", adviser to the President of the Russian Federation for culture and art, a member of the Council for Culture and Art under the President of the Russian Federation. Fans are interested not only in regalia, titles and creative achievements of recent years of this representative of Russian bohemia, but also in her financial situation.
A native of the Saratov region and a native of a family that had connections with the country's culture and art at the level of the pedagogical staff of a provincial music school, she ascended to the pinnacle of national fame thanks to her natural abilities, hard work and incredible ability to achieve this goal. Her creative path and personal life can in no way be called simple and serene, because a series of difficulties and failures accompanied her for many years.
short biography
On April 17, 1968, Alla Perfilova was born in the city of Atkarsk, who later became a singer Valeria. According to the artist, she grew up as an obedient and responsible girl, who, instead of childhood hobbies, filled her first years of life with various creative pursuits. And due to the lack of time, the grandmother Valentina Dmitrievna was engaged in raising the child.
Of course, the professional activities of the father and mother could not but affect their daughter. Alla studied vocals from early childhood. Already in kindergarten, she took an active part in the activities of the choir, often performing with a solo program. And at the age of 5, she went to a music school. And at the same time she was also engaged in choreography, dreaming of becoming a ballerina.
The girl graduated from a secondary school in her small town with a gold medal. But the "botanical" character was poorly combined in those years with her physical condition. So, in order to maintain the chances of excellent academic performance, she even had to intensively engage in volleyball and skiing in the corresponding sections. In this aspect, the phrase “it is impossible to be perfect in everything” is appropriate.
After receiving a certificate of secondary education, Perfilova set off to conquer the capital's heights using the well-known traffic. The Gnessin Academy has become for a diligent and responsible girl that educational institution, within the walls of which she has turned from a provincial girl "promising" into a real promising artist. The course of Joseph Kobzon was completed in 1990. And in the period from 1996 to 1998 she even taught at her native Russian Academy of Music.
Personal life
Valeria began to replenish her rich family luggage from her debut attempt at the age of 18, associated with her husband Leonid Yaroshevsky. This colleague in the creative department was in those years the head of the "Impulse" group. It was he who sent the young lady to a music university and became her first professional mentor.
The second time a trip to the registry office was made with Alexander Shulgin in 1993, who "took away" a seemingly serious woman from the first family. The official marriage took place already when the singer was raising her daughter Anna. This union also gave birth to a son Artemy (1994) and a son Arseny (1998). A strange tendency to streamline his life was hypertrophied in "3A" (according to the initial letters of the names of his children). Why play with the names of the offspring like that, probably, only competent psychologists can explain. But the name row took place in this form, at least until the time when the children themselves can realize and accept this parental decision.
In this marriage, which can be called the most pragmatic on the part of the singer, her real ascent to the musical Olympus took place. Shulgin was the beginning when the unknown Alla Perfilova became recognizable Valeria. At this time, her talent was "promoted" on all imaginable and unimaginable music venues, including television and radio broadcasting.
Apparently, the singer did not have any special complaisance and reasonable behavior, for which the hot-tempered and jealous husband often "brought up" her with the use of physical force. The wedding in an Orthodox church did not help either, after which, by the way, a complete break in relations took place. In 2002, Valeria once again became an official "divorcee". Despite the “public flogging”, the artist did not hesitate to describe this marital experience in her autobiographical edition “And life, and tears, and love”, published in 2006, based on which the television series “There was love ". Apparently, this woman is still more a businessman than a modest spouse.
The final marriage took place with the singer with a successful producer Joseph Prigozhin. And this time, romance was clearly combined with the successful promotion of their uncomplicated activities. The year 2004 became a new milestone in the life of Valeria, who became the wife of a colleague in the creative department for the third time. Today, the couple is trying to look quite happy in public. However, there are rumors that the wife is not very loyal to her husband's relationship with her children from a previous marriage.
And now about the artist's monetary component
It is quite obvious that the income part of a member of a creative family speaks very eloquently about the artist's professional success. According to reliable information, the main monetary component in Valeria's earnings is "concert chas" (touring tours). This already suggests that the singer's specialization today is focused not on the creation of new compositions, but specifically on the “squeezing out” of the old repertoire.
The singer gives about 70 performances annually, which cannot be called an excellent indicator against the background of the established repertoires and concert activity of other Russian stars. And the box office of the People's Artist of Russia usually ranges from 20 to 40 thousand US dollars per concert. In addition to this type of income, Valeria does not neglect corporate parties. She usually has about fifty of them a year. For performances in a "narrow circle" the singer receives from 30,000 to 50,000 US dollars.
