How old is the Russian singer Natalie. Natalie (singer) - biography, information, personal life

Natalie is a famous singer who in the late 90s conquered the musical space of Russia and the countries of the former Soviet Union with the songs “The wind blew from the sea”, which is called her visiting card, and “Turtle”. The second wave of popularity came to the artist many years later with a cheerful composition "Oh God, what a man!". Fans appreciate Natalie not only for light dance hits, but also for the warmth and light that she is ready to generously give to everyone.

Childhood

The real name of the singer is Natalya Rudina, maiden name Minyaeva. She was born on March 31, 1974 in Dzerzhinsk, a small industrial city in the Nizhny Novgorod region. Natalia's parents, Lyudmila and Anatoly Minyaev, were not related to the world of art, they were employees of the Dzerzhinsky Plexiglas chemical enterprise. Four years after the birth of their daughter, the twins Olesya and Anton appeared in the Minyaev family.

According to the star, music has always lived in her heart, but during her school years she did not dream of becoming a singer, although she studied at a music school, and she herself asked her parents to record it. In addition to piano and vocal lessons, Natasha taught herself to play the guitar and tried to match music to her poems.

Natasha was a very active girl, she tried to participate in all school evenings, and when she was sixteen, Leningrad filmmakers noticed a pretty blond girl, and she starred in the documentary directed by Yevgeny Ovchinnikov "My City". Natasha read a voice-over text about her hometown and its sights and played the main role. She looked as natural as possible, portraying the dreamy schoolgirl that, in fact, she was.

First steps to success

In high school, Natalya sang for a short time in the Chocolate Bar school group, in which her brother was a drummer, and in 1990 she became a member of the Pop Galaxy group.

One of the first performances of Natalie (1990)

The group released two albums, "Superboy" and "Star Rain", which became as popular as the songs of the groups "Mirage" and "Tender May", they were played in the yards, not a single school disco could do without them.

Especially the youth of new Russia liked the song "Superboy", which was actually a cover of Linda Joe Rizzo's song "You" re My First, You "re My Last", and the song "Love and Space", a rehash of The Flirts' composition "Helpless ".

After graduating from school, Natalya Minyaeva entered the Pedagogical College in Dzerzhinsk, but she did not have a chance to work in her specialty for long, only a year. In 1993, after graduating from college, she, already being the wife of Alexander Rudin, soon left for Moscow, where she began her creative career.

Popularity

In the capital, her husband Alexander made several attempts to help Natasha break into the stage, and one of them was successful. According to producer Valery Ivanov, in the early 90s he was engaged in the sale and release of CDs, and a cassette with songs by Natalya Rudina was brought to him by his school friend, who convinced him to try to “unwind” the young singer. The first circulation of the album "The Little Mermaid" was only two thousand copies, but, to Ivanov's surprise, the cassettes sold well.

The project called "Natalie" earned in full force in 1996, with the release of the collection "Snow Rose", but despite all the efforts of the singer and her producer, he did not become popular. In the same year, Natalya and Alexander moved to Moscow, in anticipation of a breakthrough, she performed as an opening act for Kai Metov, but the breakthrough happened later when she showed Valery a cassette with songs that she sang during her school years. Among them was the song "The wind blew from the sea."

Valery Ivanov's intuition did not let him down, and soon after the release of the album, named after the title song “The Wind Blowed from the Sea”, the young singer, as they say, woke up famous, and he did not have time to answer phone calls with concert offers.

Natalie herself, according to her, did not expect such a success, because she knew this song from a young age, from the time she first heard how the older guys sang it to the guitar in a pioneer camp.

Ivanov was initially against the fact that the album indicated that the author of the song was unknown, but Natalie insisted on this point - she did not want to appropriate other people's merits. As a result, many poets and composers began to fight for authorship, for example, an ensign from Donetsk, a composer from the city of Yaroslavl and a former military man Vladimir Petrov. The composer Yuri Malyshev managed to prove the authorship of the music, and Elena Sokolskaya was recognized as the author of the poems, but even after many years, many continue to claim the authorship of the famous hit.

Natalie - The wind blew from the sea

In 1999, the singer released the album "Counting", which included fourteen songs, many of which she wrote herself. The Russians warmly received Natalie's new songs: "Boat", "Stars fell from the sky", "Smile" and "Clouds".

The listeners especially liked the new performance of the famous New Year's hit "New Year's Toys", but how could it be otherwise, because its authors were Andrei Dementiev and Arkady Khoralov, who sang it in a duet with a young singer. For the first time, residents of the USSR heard this song in 1988, it was published on the composer's album Strange World, and Aurika Rotaru, sister of Sofia Rotaru, sang it with him at that time.

Natalie - Turtle

Since 2000, Natalie's songs have ceased to be heard on the radio, however, contrary to rumors, she did not end her career, but continued to work on new material and released several albums between 2000 and 2012.

According to critics, many songs from the albums "First Love", "Don't Fall in Love", "Seventeen Moments of Love" and others were more worthy than a simple "yard" song about the wind from the sea, but to surpass its success, or at least repeat him, none of them succeeded. Perhaps the song "Turtle" from the album "First Love" came closest.

Where did Natalie go?

At the end of 2001, Natalie became a mother for the first time, after several years of unsuccessful attempts to have a child. According to relatives, Natalie never set the goal of life, fame and stage. She wanted to be a wife and mother, and therefore, without hesitation, she exchanged the changeable love of the public for quiet family happiness.

In addition, the singer began to have psychological problems. It always seemed to her that her popularity was undeserved, that the love of the audience was given to her in advance, which must be carefully worked out.

I always dreamed of being a teacher in elementary grades, I graduated from a pedagogical school ... Apparently, this was the root of my depression. I rotted myself so much that at some point I stopped leaving the house.

The listeners ignored the new songs and at concerts over and over again demanded to perform the song “The Wind Blowed from the Sea”, which, frankly, had already bothered the artist.

As a result, Natalie lost the joy of going on stage, then she began to be afraid of the crowd, bouts of depression began. In 2002, she refused the services of Valery Ivanov and disappeared from the radar.

Sometimes she reminded of herself, taking part in television projects like Superstar 2008 and Musical Ring (2011), and in 2009 she released a new album, 17 Moments of Love, which was left without attention. By the beginning of the 2010s, the singer was recorded in the "forgotten stars of the 90s" and "one-hit performers." But very soon, Natalie not only reminded of herself - she made a loud comeback to the stage, instantly excluding herself from the category of "downed pilots".

Return to the stage

In 2013, Natalie, who was predicted the fate of a one-hit performer and who, in her own words, did not write songs for three or four years, suddenly burst into the Russian musical space with the song “Oh my God, what a man.”

The triumphant return to the top of the Russian musical Olympus took place in the fall of 2012. As the singer said in an interview, the words of the song were sent to her by a woman named Rosa Ziemens, a Russian woman living in Germany, a freelance poet. After reading the poems, the singer was so imbued with their simple, but at the same time deep content, corresponding to her mood, that a melody immediately sounded in her head. According to Natalie, everything happened so quickly that she did not notice the birth of the song, which stunned her with a second wave of popularity.

Natalie - Oh my God, what a man

The extraordinary success of the song "Oh my God, what a man" returned Natalie to the number of the brightest stars in Russia and she was awarded several music awards. The song, which became Natalie's second calling card, did not leave the first line of the Golden Gramophone hit parade on Russian Radio for almost two months, and the video clip for it gained more than two million views in the first months alone.

In 2013, Natalie wrote the song "Nikolai", which she performed with Nikolai Baskov, amusingly beating the competition of a blond and a blonde on stage, and the next she presented the album "Scheherazade".

Nikolay Baskov ft Natalie - Nikolay

The video for the title song, in which she appeared in unexpectedly provocative images, secured her place on the Russian stage and gave her new fans. At the time of the release of the video clip, the singer was already forty years old, and the Russians could not help but note her excellent shape, to maintain which, according to her, she does not make any efforts.

In 2015, Natalie recorded a video clip for the song “You are like that”, which she performed with a musician from Uzbekistan, Dostonbek Islamov, better known as rapper Doni.

Natalie ft. Doni - you are

Work on the album "Oh, God, what a man!" Natalie and her team completed by 2016, the collection, which promised to be the most significant in the singer's creative biography, included fifteen songs, including the famous "The wind blew from the sea" and "Oh God, what a man", as well as new versions of the songs from previous albums.

Participation in a TV show

Returning to the ranks of the main domestic celebrities, Natalie became a frequent guest of popular TV shows. In the spring of 2014, the famous artist participated in the Just Like It project, in which she captivated both the audience and the jury with the images of Masha Rasputina, Lyudmila Senchina, Marina Ladynina and Christina Orbakaite.

When Natalie portrayed the singer Valeria, then Valeria herself allegedly unexpectedly appeared on the stage, but the singers turned out to be so similar that the presenter Alexander Oleshko began to see double. All members of the judicial commission, and Gennady Khazanov, and Leonid Yarmolnik, and Maxim Averin, and even the strict Lyubov Kazarnovskaya noted the professionalism and delicacy with which Natalie represented her colleague. Anna Shulgina, Valeria's daughter, stated that Natalie was able to very accurately notice and convey the movements of her mother's legs.

Exactly the same. Natalie as Valerie

A year later, Anna will also take part in the famous show and present Natalie with the song “You are like that”, and the charismatic Doni will help her in this. By the way, Anna Ardova and Leonid Yarmolnik did not recognize Anna Shulgina, and Gennady Khazanov thought that Elena Temnikova was on stage. I guessed that the singer was portrayed by Valeria's daughter, only Lyubov Kazarnovskaya.

In the fall of 2016, Natalie became the heroine of the show "The Battle of Psychics", sixteen magicians tried to "scan" her. The singer was especially impressed by the abilities of the outrageous witch from Riga, Julia Wang, who calls herself the embodiment of Evil, and the St. Petersburg clairvoyant Victoria Raidos. According to Natalie, during the recording of the episode, she believed that the magicians are real, and not guest actors.

The artist also said that participation in the famous show and communication with psychics helped her to rethink a lot and draw conclusions. Otar Kushanashvili, a well-known wit and joker, said on this occasion that believing that the participants in the show are psychics is about the same as believing that Natalie is a singer. An interesting fact is that Otar, who spoke so unflatteringly about Natalie and her musical abilities, in his own words, has been friends with her for many years.

Natalie's personal life

The only man in Natalie's life is her husband Alexander Rudin, whom she met when she was an eleventh grade student. As the artist says, already in those years she was a very serious girl, she dreamed of marriage from the age of fourteen, and the ideal for her was the touching and respectful relationship of her parents.

Alexander is only four years older than Natalia, they met in Dzerzhinsk, at a rock concert in the House of Culture, where she performed as part of a school group. Natalie says that on that day she was afraid of the public, because for the first time she appeared on stage in a short skirt and was not ready for the reaction of some of the audience, who were not at all shy in expressing their delight at the sight of her slender legs.

She was introduced to Alexander by Dmitry Gerasimov, a musician and her senior friend, who then worked as a sound engineer at the House of Culture. At first, Natalya thought that a tall dark-haired young man would invite her on a date or to the movies, but he offered to help her record her first collection, which was eventually released in 1994 and was called "Provincial Girl".

Natalie also says that she dreamed of becoming a teacher and did not think about a creative career at all, because music was her hobby. The idea to start playing music professionally belongs to Alexander, but two months after they met, Natalie realized that he was her destiny.

Seventeen-year-old Natalia and twenty-year-old Alexander were able to get married with the help of the parents of the young bride, who, as required by the laws of the USSR, provided a fake pregnancy certificate. On August 24, 1991, the lovers got married.

Preparing for the wedding, Natasha spent the entire fee for participating in the documentary My City, which amounted to 100 rubles.

According to Natalie, she grew up with Alexander, and at every stage of her life, he was perfect for her. Rudin never tried to control his young artist wife, did not show any signs of being jealous of her and gave her maximum freedom.

The couple tried for almost ten years to conceive a child, but in vain. At the age of 17, she lost her first child. A few years later, the situation repeated itself. The superstitious singer believed that this was retribution for a fake pregnancy certificate. Thoughts also came to mind that by constantly repeating the words “the wind blew from the sea, catching up trouble,” she really called out trouble. The artist began to go to church and pray to God for a child.

But the fears turned out to be unfounded. In 2001, her first-born Arseniy was born, whose birth Natalie perceived as a miracle. She did not even think about a second child until, at the age of eight, her son began to beg to give a brother or sister. So in 2010, Natalie became the mother of baby Anatoly.

The fate of man. Natalie

In 2013, just after the release of the hit "Oh my God, what a man", Natalie became pregnant again. Due to the collapsed attention, busy concert schedule and constant stress, the pregnancy froze. The singer had to have an abortion. After Natalie reproached herself for a long time for not being able to "stand and hide, save this child from hassle."

The third son of Natalia and Alexander was born when they both had already stopped hoping for another child, in 2017. At the time of the birth of Zhenya, the artist was already 43 years old.

Alexander is rarely seen in the photo next to his famous wife, and in her video clip he appeared only once - in the video for the song "The Wind from the Sea Blowed", a landmark for her creative biography.

Having become a guest of Lera Kudryavtseva in the Secret for a Million show, in which celebrities reveal their secrets for a monetary reward, the singer said that injections of hyaluronic acid and Botox help her maintain youthfulness and beauty of the skin, she also did a procedure using the so-called golden threads.

For many years, the impeccable figure of Natalie has been the envy of Russian, and not only ladies, but she is not at all the result of exhausting workouts in the gym. As the singer says, she does not adhere to diets, but she tries to eat little and does almost all the housework herself, refusing to hire an au pair. Natalie's hobby is esotericism, after participating in the show "The Battle of Psychics" she often consults with Victoria Rydos, who, according to the singer, helped her give birth to her third child.

Singer Natalie now

In 2018, one of the most famous blondes in the Russian show space became a guest of another famous blonde, Lera Kudryavtseva, and answered tricky questions, each of which, depending on the degree of delicacy, brought her large, and not very sums of money. Her mother, Lyudmila Pavlovna, and sister Olesya, with their daughter, little Serafima, came to support Natalya and help her cope with the excitement.

For more than two hours while the program lasted, Natalie shared with the audience the details of her life. She told about how she met Alexander, how she came to God and how she begged for sons from Saint Panteleimon. The singer did not explain how belief in God is consistent with trips to psychics and fortune tellers, but spoke about cosmetic procedures and aesthetic surgery on her chest, which she decided against the will of her husband, who feared for her health.

During the recording of the show, Natalie sang one of her last songs, a very touching and beautiful lyrical composition "How sweet it is to be a mother", and the audience listened to her with tears in their eyes. The music for this song was written by Natalie herself, and the words were written by Simon Osiashvili, who gave the Russians the songs "Old Grandmothers" sung by Vyacheslav Dobrynin, "Winter Garden" sung by Alexei Glyzin, and many other famous songs.

At the end of 2018, the hosts of the Muz-TV channel “asked for it” to visit Natalie, who moved into a new spacious apartment. Natalie showed the house, outfits and accessories, talked about the things she loves the most and shared family stories that are associated with them. After watching this episode of the show "Ask for It", the audience noted the modesty of the singer, her sense of tact and the complete absence of symptoms of star fever, which, unfortunately, struck many of her colleagues.

Asked for it. Visiting singer Natalie

In the same year, the premiere of the video clip for the song “I am without weapons”, which Natalie recorded with Sultan Hurricane, known for the hits “Valenki” and “Come in large numbers”, took place. The singer posted photos from the shooting on her Instagram, but the subscribers criticized her image and outfits and called her a forty-five-year-old girl, noting "an inappropriate emphasis on infantilism and even childishness." However, Natalia was mostly criticized by women, while men, on the contrary, spoke out in support of the new image of the singer, noted her beauty and excellent physical shape, which was so emphasized by provocative daring large-plaid tights, a romantic dress, pink lipstick and black patent leather shoes with spikes.

In the fall of 2019, after almost a year of silence, Natalie posted on YouTube the song "Dream Man", written for her by Pavel Vinogradov and designed in a signature retro dance style. The artist announced the premiere of the song on social networks, wished the fans love and joy, and expressed the hope that her song would fill the Russians with happy emotions.

Natalie (Natalya Rudina) is a Russian popular singer whose name has long been associated with the hit of the 90s “The Wind from the Sea Blowed”. Written at the age of 13, the song became the hallmark of the artist.

The return of the star turned out to be no less bright - the hit "Oh God, what a man!" gained worldwide popularity.

After she perfectly mastered this instrument, she took many prizes at numerous music competitions in which the singer participated.

In those days, Natalie had already created her first musical group, with which she took part in music festivals and competitions.

In 1990, filming of a documentary film began, which told about Dzerzhinsk, the city in which Natalya lived. She was offered to star in this film, and the singer gladly agreed. True, to participate in the filming, it was necessary to participate in the casting, but Natalya quickly passed it, charming all the directors. In the same year, the singer went to St. Petersburg to sound the tape at the Lenfilm studio. After that, the young singer gained wide popularity in her hometown.

So, in the first years of the beginning of her musical career, Natalie managed to:

• Take part in numerous music competitions.
• Create your own musical group and perform with it at music festivals.
• Shoot in a documentary.
• Sound the movie.

Gaining Popularity

Despite the fact that the singer adored music, she began to pay attention not to her own musical development, but to the development of others. In other words, Natalie began to teach music to children. Thanks to her love for children and music, the singer graduated from the Pedagogical Institute in her city and received the profession of a music teacher. In 1993, she got married, after which she moved with her husband to the capital.

The singer called her first musical group "Chocolate Bar". Alexander Rudin, who assisted the singer in her professional realization, helped the young team record their first albums. By the way, it was for him that Natalie married. Album titles:

• "Pop Galaxy".
• "Superboy".

Most of the songs that were present in these albums, the singer wrote herself while studying at school. Both Rudin and Natalie understood that they would not be able to achieve great fame in Dzerzhinsk, and since both spouses were purposeful and ambitious, they decided to go to Moscow and try their luck there. The singer's husband gave all his best so that Natalie's talent was noticed. And his efforts were not in vain. In the capital, Rudin managed to contact a producer named Valery Ivanov, who arranged an audition for the singer. After the audition was over, he decided to take Natalie under his wing to help her gain popularity. A year later, Natalie released her first professional album, which she called "The Little Mermaid". The first few years after that, Natalie had to be the "warming up" at the concerts of her colleagues. However, after a while, the singer's audience grew, and this allowed her producer, Ivanov, to organize concerts only for Natalie.

So thanks to what song did the singer gain all-Russian fame? It was the song "The wind blew from the sea." Few people know, but it was this song that the singer composed at the age of 13, and when she learned to play the guitar, she herself wrote music for it. Perhaps, after this composition "came out" and every second began to sing it, Natalie herself was in a pleasant shock.

A more modern stage of the singer's work is associated with the release in 2012 of the song "Oh God, what a man!".
