Katya Chili returned to the stage last week. Some have known her since the distant 90s, others only heard her voice now. Who is this singer and what made her return to big stage– see the following facts.
The beginning of creativity
Ekaterina Kondratenko, later - Katya Chilly , appeared on stage completely by accident, at the age of 8, when she performed and appeared on television in 1986 during one concert. As the singer said: “All this was accidentally filmed on television, and I felt like a stage virus had entered my blood, which, in principle, cannot be removed.”
Later in 1992, Katya received the Grand Prix in one song competition. There the singer found her future composer and mentor Sergei Smetanin.
Concerts and albums of the singer
Katya's success in show business made itself felt. In 1997-1999, the singer released her first album "Mermaids In Da House" and declared itself in Germany, Poland, Sweden, Egypt, the USA and other countries. And already in March 2001 Katya Chilly performed with concert program in London, where she gave more than 40 concerts. The artist's performances were broadcast on live on the BBC channel.
In the early 2000s, Katya, together with other members of the groups, created a joint album "Dream", however, it was never published.
In 2003, the hit “Ponad Khmarami” was released, recorded together with the leader of the Tartak group Sashko Polozhinsky. In 2005 he presented a new single “Pivni”, and already in 2006 he released another studio album"I am young".
The beginning of the "calm"
In 2008, Katya decides to create the group Katya Chilly with other musicians. Since in 2007-2009 the singer was the headliner of the festivals “Jazz Koktebel”, “Golden Gate”, “Chervona Ruta”, “Rozhanitsa”, “Antonych-fest”, “Junior Eurovision” there was a slight lull in her work.
Since 2010, the singer delved into working on solo acoustic material and began to appear in public less and less. However, the singer did not “disappear” and remained well known. Only in March 2016, in the studio of the M2 channel with Sashko Polozhinsky, the singer performed old hit"Above the gloom."
Return to the big stage
It became a real sensation. According to the singer, she did not plan to stay on the project, since she came only as a guest. But the judges convinced her to choose one of her mentors and continue singing on the show. Katya unexpectedly changed her choice and chose Tina Karol. The singer was amazed by Katya’s choice and touchingly commented on this event: “How Ukraine needs you.”
Despite her vast experience in Ukrainian show business, Katya Chilly has appeared on stage again and perhaps this time she will once again win the attention of her loyal listeners.

Already from the first grades of ten years old, she entered a music school in two departments at once - string instruments and piano. In addition, the talented girl enrolled in a folk singing school, and then became a soloist in the Orelya choir.

Even higher education Katya received it while studying at the Faculty of Philology of the National University. Taras Shevchenko (specialization - Folklore).
The first shoots of success
Since the spring of 1996, Katya has focused on a pop-avant-garde project (combining ancient ritual singing with the most modern music). This caused a real stir in the media and a storm of delight among fans. Katya has become a symbol of new Ukrainian music, a new musical alternative.
The ethnic material in the singer’s interpretation charmed even those who were far from folklore. Fans of Katya Chilly gathered under the flags of different people: representatives of generation X who were waiting for unconventional music, adult fans of Ukrainian folklore and admirers of the World Musik phenomenon.
Popularity in Ukraine and abroad
Less than a year it took a talented girl to gain confident star status. Numerous interviews, participation in television programs, performances at the largest and most prestigious concert venues countries, victories at festivals (including the Chervona Ruta festival).
The singer’s work aroused keen interest from the Western community. For example, in 1997, MTV President Bill Rowdy invited the singer to participate in the programs of this channel.
Katya Chilly’s creativity was celebrated at various international festivals. Among them is the Fringe festival, which took place in the Scottish city of Edinburgh.
In 1998, Katya Chilly released her debut album “Mermaids in da House”, the appearance of which became a landmark event for the development of Ukrainian musical culture. Media representatives dubbed the singer’s performance style “the singing of a beautiful elf.”
Injury and long recovery
On the tour of the “Chervona Ruta” winners, something happened that she doesn’t talk about much: at one of the concerts, Katya fell off the stage, lost consciousness and severely injured her spine.
The only one who helped her was Sashko Polozhinsky. He carried her in his arms to the ambulance and supported her afterwards.
There was a long period of rehabilitation, the singer began to experience depression. She reconsidered her outlook on life, realized that there were very few real friends and loved ones, and because of what happened she began to have stage fright.
I thought about stopping performing altogether, but then I got out of my depression, recorded a new album and went on tour with it in England and Russia.
Tours in England and collaboration with the BBC
Since 2000, Katya has collaborated with composers, arrangers and instrumentalists Leonid Beley (“Mandry”) and Alexander Yurchenko (ex-Yarn, Blemish). The album “Dream”, recorded later, was never released, despite the fact that the program was successfully tested on venues in England and Russia.

New period
After active creative life Katya disappears for 10 years from the radars of Ukrainian music lovers. No concerts, no new albums. But this period was not in vain for the singer - she rethought her work, discarded the electronic component and concentrated only on Ukrainian authentic folk singing, gave birth to a son, Svyatozar.

A sweet-voiced elf, a politically correct nonconformist of Ukrainian music, a singer who destroys all ideas about the format. The voice of a siren, making you forget about everything in the world, gingerbread face fairy tale character and pure childlike spontaneity. All this is about her – Katya Chilly.
Even if we discard all the enthusiastic definitions, we still cannot avoid the statement: Katya is one of the most striking phenomena of Ukrainian music. Arguments in favor of this statement? Firstly, the originality of the genre in which the singer works. Vocal abilities and stage image give every right consider it an unprecedented phenomenon in Ukrainian music. Yes, probably in the world as well. Secondly, this singer cannot be confused with anyone, and cannot even be compared with anyone. She is unique and there are no analogues to her work.
If we talk about existing patterns, then Katya Chilly’s work can be classified as “world music”. But this is only a conditional definition. Because her songs go beyond any musical direction. Katya's music is much more than any definition. This is a kind of mantra framed by virtuoso electronic arrangements.
In the summer of 2005, together with Ukrainian Records, the singer released the maxi-single “Pivni”, which included the first single from the new album and remixes to it. Famous Russian and Ukrainian DJs worked on the creation of remixes: Tka4 (Kyiv), Evgeniy Arsentiev (Moscow), DJ Lemon (Kyiv), Professor Moriarti (Moscow), LP (Kaliningrad). As a bonus, the disc contains a new version of the track “Ponad Khmarami”, which Katya Chilly performed with Sashko Polozhinsky, and the video clip “Pivni”, created using 3D graphics technology. The director of the video was the famous Ukrainian artist Ivan Tsyupka. Katya's appearance with new material marked new stage in her work, the next step in musical evolution…

Katya, this year you triumphantly returned to the stage. Why did you decide to take part in “The Voice”?
The rule of three presentations... I trusted Space. Three times they tell me “no” - I let go. They invite me three times - I go. I took this for myself as one and bookmarked it in the direction 2 years ago. And a few more rules. One of them is to follow Joy. Where I feel Joy inside my heart, when the sea is calm inside. Invest my energy only in what gives me goosebumps and tears in my eyes, what makes me want to laugh like a little child.
You have changed a lot since the hit “Ponad Khmarami”...
Nobody knows me. There are only fruits of labor, which are few. But I intend to work hard.
What kind of music do you make? Who is it for?
She is called to open the heart into a space where access to Knowledge is open to everyone... She is for People... She is for Children... human, who are called upon not to dominate, not to be blind kittens, but to take care of all things... she for Life... It is designed to awaken Life...
All our works are Alive. They cannot be compared like maple and oak leaves. They are alive. This is already a victory. This is a reaction not to a work... but to Life. Life cannot help but respond to Life.
Katya, you are the soul of Ukrainian folk music. Who do you think you are?
In spirit, yes. I am part of a Very Big Soul.
Katya, what inspires you?
The question is “how to help love.”

I have very few things in my house and wardrobe). Of the things, these are two colors of the same style (for replacement). It’s the same story in summer and winter...only I can change the decorations, following my feelings in life. And keep your hair in order.
Which Ukrainian designers do you enjoy supporting and wearing?
Honestly, I don’t know any greater pleasure than wearing vintage clothes: there is so much Life there! There is so much Attention and Quality! These are real things of power... These clothes structure the space of Life. These clothes help you feel connected to the living world, to the Universe. I am happy that the guys created the Ukrainian Institute of Fashion History / Ukrainian Institute of Fashion History, where the tradition of clothing is maintained at a level that brings tears to my eyes. And I receive great inspiration from everything that happens through the space of the National Center of Folk Culture, the I. Gonchar Museum.
Do you have special symbolic objects and things with which your memories, secrets, dreams, special events are connected?
If there are things in my life, then they are just like this.

I don’t eat killed creatures or anything that contains ingredients obtained by killing, I don’t eat GMOs (complete sterilization through generations and mutations), synthetic food, I don’t eat anything that contains yeast (this fungus is not friendly to the microflora of a living person and rearranges it for itself ), I don’t eat trans fats, I don’t eat mushrooms (they suppress the immune system).
The food industry has transformed into a massive flow directed against people and towards their destruction. Being weak, we are able to feel and control little.
For health - everything is simple: fruits, vegetables, pure water. Consciousness directly depends on what we let in. There are products that extinguish the ability to be Alive, and there are products that help. The latter are everything that nature gives us, products obtained without violence.
Yoga. Breathing practices. I swim in the ice hole and shower myself cold water. Prayer of repentance. TM.
