Таня - Радио Гагага / Radio GaGaGa

Singer Tanya (Tereshina) was born May 3, 1979 in Budapest (Hungary). Her father was military, he served in many areas of Russia and Ukraine and Poland, and little Tanya childhood spent traveling. This left a significant imprint on its multi-faceted personality. As a child Tanya loved everything that was associated with creativity and art, practiced in the art, music and ballet schools, as well as acted in the children's ensemble as a soloist.

When she was 13 years old, the family finally established itself in Smolensk. There Tanya graduated from the school, then - Faculty of Painting Smolensky Institute of Arts. And after that went to conquer Moscow.

A beautiful charismatic young girl immediately noticed and hired a modeling agency 'Modus Vivendis', and then in the agencies 'Point' and 'Fashion'. As a model Tanya has participated in fashion shows and photo shoot around the world. Career model of its fully staged, but Tanya once accidentally casting the group Hi-Fi. She did not connect with him no hope, but when she learned that passed, scared she would not be ready to participate in this popular, actively touring team. Doubts plagued Tania to the exit on the scene.

. Her first performance in the Hi-Fi was held on February 13, 2003, and over the next two years, Tanya, along with Mitya Fomin and Timothy Pronkin toured dozens of cities in Russia and acted in more than five hundred concerts
. It was not only a tremendous experience touring life, but also has become a determinant for Tanya in the choice of profession - she realized that without the scenes exist no longer.

His work in the group Tanya remembers with great pleasure. 'Mitya - my best friend, I just adore it, - says the singer. - We are cooperating well on stage and in life. I think our friendship over time may again lead to some creative cooperation '.

Of course, in the group and had nothing to think about some own implementation, and, when Tanya came proposals for a solo career, she decided to leave the Hi-Fi. 'There was some scandal connected with my departure, - said Tanya - but I'm glad that everything happened so. This gave me a great incentive for further development '.

Here's how she remembers the care of the group: "Nobody was going to leave the team. Just at some point the producer has ceased to follow the group. We are almost all solved themselves, to the point where you can relax. And once carved out in the schedule-free for three days and went to the sea. We called the producer, but he did not lift up. As a result, they put me with the fact that fired after the ceremony Muz-TV Award for gross misconduct.

I was shocked: why me? It went to all three! But then realized that the producer wanted to punish my dismissal and all other. They say all will survive! Naturally, I said that I will not work until Muz-TV Awards. And what a breach of discipline? I generally had to work in kicks, because the guys are very good. They strongly supported me, but object could not. You know, Timothy's family, he had to contain it, Mitya any problems. Of course, they talked with producer Eric Chenturiey. But he has a strange way of solving problems - if it is something not like it, he probably will not work with someone and talk.

. In the group of my work was not even in the works, and in the presence of me as a pretty object on the background of the children
. Even I was not allowed to sing! I opened my mouth to someone else's plywood. Commonplace sounds of "A-ah-ah-oh-oh-oh" recorded the wife of our composer.

I always sang with the included microphone at concerts, and I have the feeling that I'm singing. But on radio, I myself have not heard. Once tried to ask why I do not give to sing? And I passed through the director: "We are all still think about you, what to do". They say, "would have sat in silence, you do not very photogenic cheeks!"

With the departure of the group come to grips with Tanya solo career. In 2007, she recorded the first 7 songs for their debut album, and almost immediately began performing in clubs and national teams concerts.

Besides music and dancing, Tanya was constantly engaged in the development of costumes for concerts and clips - the principal amount Tannins dresses for work and life sewn for her sketches. 'Clothes - this is my passion, but apart from the usual women's interest in me, then there is more professional - I'm an artist by training, draw for me - great relaxation and pleasure. Make a dress for myself, I started back in 13 years, and now I have been able to create a truly sophisticated creative outfits'.
