Russian singer Alisa Vox is the favorite of all fans of the Leningrad group. Future star was born in the city of Leningrad. The real her maiden name Kondratieva, however, today she is Burmistrova. Since the very early years She felt a craving for artistry, so she very often organized concerts in front of her family.

Alice’s mother supported her daughter in every possible way in such hobbies, since in the future she saw her only on big stage. At the age of four, her parents sent her to ballet, which she attended for a year, but did not achieve any particular success in this direction. Accepting that her daughter will not become a choreography star, the girl's mother enrolls her in theater studio for children "Music Hall".

First the girl was put in choral singing, however, later noticing her unique vocal abilities, they allowed her to perform solo compositions. She also took an active part in completely different productions, but she played her central role in the musical called “ New Year's adventures Alice, or the magic book of wishes."

Due to the fact that the girl devoted almost all her time to singing and dancing, her school performance rapidly declined. Actually, for this reason, when Alice was eight years old, her parents took her from the Music Hall and allowed her to study what she loved exclusively as a hobby and then during her free time from school. She began taking choreography and vocal classes at the Sports Dance Federation.

She entered the state academy theatrical arts in St. Petersburg. But she studied there for only one year, after which she decided to transfer to GITIS in Moscow. It was there that she began to develop and grow as an artist. However, her happiness did not last long, as her parents had problems paying for her education and the girl, at the age of twenty, returned to her hometown. She completes her education at the University of Culture and Arts, namely in the pop-jazz vocal department.

Creative path

Alice's first job was a cabaret restaurant called "NEP" where she held the position of vocalist. In addition, she worked as a singer at various events. Later she worked in such clubs under a pseudonym. This income was quite significant, but this was not enough for the girl, and she decided to try her hand at casting for the Leningrad group, which she had been delighted with since an early age.

And Alisa passed the casting, but at first she was directly involved in studio recordings, but this did not upset her. The girl’s whole life changed in 2013, since then she performed with the group as a full member. It was during this period of time that she took on the pseudonym Alice Vox. For four years she was part of the Leningrad group, but in 2016 she decided to leave and start a solo career.

Alisa Vox for the first time about the reasons for leaving the Leningrad group, divorce from her husband and support from Lagutenko

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the soundtrack of 2016 in Russia was the song of the Leningrad group “Exhibit”. Having burst into rotation on radio stations and TV channels in January, the song instantly became popular throughout the country and even became part of cultural life: At the Van Gogh exhibition held in Moscow at the beginning of the year, female visitors in Louboutins and the Seregas accompanying them were allowed in free of charge.

Against this background, another event happened - this time on a local scale. For the first time in the almost 20-year history of the Leningrad group, not only frontman Sergei Shnurov, but also the lead singer of the group, Alisa Vox, came to the fore. It was she who became the voice of “Exhibit”, as well as several other popular songs from the repertoire, which attracted everyone’s attention.

However, at the peak of popularity, in March 2016, Alisa unexpectedly announced her departure from the group. She posted the news about this on her page on the social network, saying that she decided to move on regardless of Shnurov. Sergei did not seem very upset. Having said that the group was, first and foremost, him, Shnurov quickly found two new singers to replace Alisa and continued to work as if nothing had happened. And Alisa Vox took up a solo career.

In an interview with HELLO.RU, Alisa Vox for the first time gave answers to questions that concern her fans about leaving the group and talked about what other events had happened in her life in recent months.

Alisa, how did you become the lead singer of the Leningrad group?

This happened in 2011. I learned that they were looking for a singer to join the group during the maternity leave of the current soloist Yulia Kogan. I decided to give it a try and ended up passing the casting. The castings lasted from the moment it became known about Yulia’s pregnancy; about 300 applicants were screened, but they approved me.

You ended up in a very popular group, which became even more popular after the release of the song “Exhibit”. And suddenly they left the group. Why?

Nothing much actually happened. This decision was not spontaneous; it was initially clear to me that I would not survive in the group until I was old. We talked with Sergei and decided that I had already done all the best in the group, it was time to move on.

The press wrote that there was supposedly a conflict between you, and it was connected with the fact that Sergei’s wife Matilda was jealous of him. This is true?

It's a lie. (Laughs.) There was not the slightest reason for jealousy. No one quarreled with anyone, a work situation arose - I made this decision.

So you didn’t quarrel with Sergei?

Sergei is a difficult person, demanding, authoritarian. How was it working with him? Did he allow you to express your individuality?

He manages more than two dozen people - of course, there is no time for simplicity. He is a tough leader, but for me personally this was not a problem. He puts it first professional relationships, I think this is correct. I felt comfortable working with him.

After you left, Sergei said that the Leningrad group is him, and it doesn’t matter which soloist will sing in it.

Well, that's how it is. (Laughs.) It would be strange to disagree with this. You will stop anyone on the street and ask what associations he has when he hears the name “Leningrad”. They will definitely answer you: Cord.

IN this moment Does the fame of the ex-soloist of “Leningrad” hinder you or help you?

Hard to tell. I try not to exploit this; I don’t perform the group’s songs or Shnurov’s songs. I have a different image, a different direction in music. I don't want to be perceived as part of a team that I'm no longer involved with.

Do you have any restrictions on performing Shnurov’s songs? If you wanted to sing something at your concert, could you do it?

There were no prohibitions or court orders in this regard, and I also did not receive any verbal instructions from Sergei. But, to be honest, we never discussed this.

Your first solo composition, “Hold,” caused a mixed reaction from the public. Some people liked it, others found it downright boring. How can you comment on this?

I'm moving in musical direction, which I consider the most popular today in the world musical culture. It's synth-pop, electro-pop, pop-rock. But people are used to seeing me in a different image, they are accustomed to different vocabulary, so perhaps what I do now seems boring to some - those people who simply do not understand my new image. It's a matter of taste.

Initially, I found myself in the wrong field. Large audience fans of "Leningrad" were watching and expecting a continuation from me in the spirit of "Leningrad", but this did not happen. People who were not interested in associating me with the group greeted the release positively. My work received four stars from the Intermedia portal - this is the same as received last album Red Hot Chili Peppers, For example. I read the impartial, critical analyzes from a professional point of view and am pleased with the result.

Can you say that being part of the Leningrad group you were not yourself and did things that were not close to you?

"Leningrad" is Sergei Shnurov, starting with music and ending with images. He creates everything, everyone there plays the roles that he assigned to them. This is a theater of one director.

Are you prepared for the possibility that you might lose some of your audience?

I think you need to do what you believe in.

Shortly before leaving the group, changes occurred in your personal life - you separated from your husband. Why did they suddenly decide to burn bridges in all directions at once?

I divorced my husband, but, despite the fact that at that moment the media wrote everything about this, there was no drama. It happens that sometimes feelings just pass - you get up and silently leave. At some point I realized that I had no future with this person - and I left.

Are you currently communicating with Sergei Shnurov and your ex-husband?

No. It is not necessary. Now I'm focused on work. A video will be released soon; it has been filmed, but is currently in the post-production stage. Then an EP will be released - a mini-album, which will include five songs, three of them new and two fresh versions of old ones. In December I will present a song for which I wrote the music and lyrics myself. This is very important for me, a new starting point. In terms of musical style, I plan to continue moving towards electro-pop rock. By the way, Ilya Lagutenko supports me in this. He listened to my songs and reacted very positively to them; his assessment is very important to me. I was pleased to receive words of encouragement from him. So life goes on.
