Elizaveta Valdemarovna Ivantsiv (creative pseudonym Elka) is a Ukrainian and Russian pop singer, actress and producer. The general public is better known as the performer of the hits "Girl in Peugeot" and "Good mood". Fans, of course, are interested not only in her work, but also in the details of her financial condition.
A native of the Ukrainian province and from a family where singing in folk style and collecting modern music albums was considered a major hobby, she began her career in the B&B group in 2004. The unremarkable debut in Uzhgorod would have remained noticed only by local connoisseurs of beauty, if not for the meeting with Vlad Valov and the release of the album "City of Deception".
Today, the music performed by the Christmas tree can be considered exclusively "for an amateur". Only people who are inexperienced in this segment of art can consider it “smart and modern”. However, representatives of the singer's fan club are attracted by the peacefulness and calmness of her compositions, which, against the background of modern musical hysteria, can even be regarded as a positive creative impulse.
It is also interesting that the idol for several generations has not been trying to promote his professional career with fabricated sensations and other unoriginal ways inherent in show business, but on the contrary does not like to contact the press. She does not even react to “that nonsense that journalists sometimes write”, which cannot but please her fans, who disdainfully perceive all the “dirt” of this “elite subculture”.
short biography
On July 2, 1982, the surroundings of the maternity hospital of the Ukrainian Uzhgorod resounded with the characteristic cry of the future pop diva. Liza Ivantsiv, who was brought up in a family where everyone can be counted among music lovers of varying "severity" (from collectors to folk choristers), began her career, as it should be in her area of residence, from the Palace of Pioneers, where teachers immediately noticed her "voice ".
Ivantsiv's teenage hobbies fully corresponded to the provincial perception of Eastern European musical culture. Soul and rap styles, combined with colorful speech features, might not have attracted the attention of the sophisticated Moscow public, but for their region everything looked quite decent. In addition to ethnic vocal abilities, the aspiring artist tried to gain acting skills by taking part in the school KVN. On the scale of a small town, it even became recognizable.
After receiving a certificate of secondary education with well-grounded "average" indicators of academic performance, the aspiring singer did not aim at the conservatory as her more capable peers, but limited herself only to the music school. But even here it was only enough for the first semester. The fact is that at this time she not only did not differ in academic performance, but also conducted all sorts of experiments with appearance.
Apparently, the provincial way of life and the desire to stand out were able to embody such a ridiculous integration of creativity and perception of reality. However, as the future has shown, this development path not only did not become a dead end, but also brought the girl to the big stage.
Personal life
Elizaveta Ivantsiv did not stop at an unusual appearance and perception of reality. She decided to go all the way in her originality. A creative pseudonym from the "wooden" theme seemed to her not only unique, but also romantic. After all, the New Year tree in our culture is symbolized with a magical celebration. Apparently, the image of a holiday man seemed to her the most suitable.
Interestingly, the public nature of Yolka's activities did not affect its openness with the press. The singer always answers about her personal life in the same and unpretentious manner. The phrase "I live with a cat", taken from the everyday life of the classic of the satirical genre, is now associated by many fans with her sense of humor.
Sergey Astakhov, who was not noted for anything in the field of culture and art, except for the position of the administrator of his wife, became the husband of this pop diva who did not remove the stars from the sky in the romantic aspect. In 2016, the press flashed information about the discord in this married couple. They mentioned everyday problems, a country house for which there were not enough funds, the dismissal of her husband from a position that was not entirely to his liking, and a possible breakup. But, apparently, the couple decided to simply "reset" the relationship, which for the public does not matter except the desire to witness the creative impulse in the singer's professional activity.
Loyal fans of Ivantsiv know about her care for stray animals from Instagram, where she regularly uploads thematic photos. Together with this affection of hers, here she publishes the details of her professional activities. It is strange that the desire to be known as an original artist in this sense does not fit with such banal for today promotions of their creativity.
Artist today
Perhaps some of the fans consider Yolka to be a fairly wealthy artist. But against the background of their more successful colleagues, this is not perceived as such. Suffice it to compare it, for example, with Philip Kirkorov, who gives out 30 concerts in some months and, accordingly, earns decent money.
In 2018, Elizaveta Ivantsiv was able to be realized in some projects. The musical composition "On the Knee" formed the basis of her video clip for the New Year holidays. And "Make Love" became, according to some estimates, even a hit in the fall. In addition, after a while the fans got acquainted with the new version of the song "Home", which was included in the album "# SKY" and subsequently a video clip. 2018 ended with the single "Where are you".
With such a creative baggage, it’s hard to argue that 2018 has become a particularly rich year in creative achievements. Apparently, the singer is only gathering strength to please her loyal fans with future achievements in the field of creativity.
