Few people expected that the daughter of famous athletes Tatyana Navka and Alexander Zhulin would decide to connect her life not with figure skating, like her parents, but with music. 16-year-old Alexandra Zhulina, having taken the creative pseudonym Alexia, has already begun to conquer the heights of Russian show business. Radio stations are happy to play her first single “I Will Dance” on the air, and the other day the premiere of Alexia's debut video for the song “You Breathe Me” took place. Something tells us that this is only the beginning and we will hear more than once about the achievements of the young artist. the site decided that it was worth getting to know the future star better, and therefore did not miss the opportunity to get to know Sasha personally. To be honest, the heiress of a high-profile surname surprised us with the seriousness of her intentions and at the same time disarmed us with her simplicity in communication.
When you are the daughter of famous skaters, people around you unconsciously expect you to continue the sports dynasty. The daughter of Tatyana Navka and Alexander Zhulin, Sasha, once preferred tennis to figure skating, but due to a back injury she was forced to forget about this sport. Now she has plunged headlong into creativity and releases singles and videos under the pseudonym Alexia.
And if Alexandra's passion for music seems strange and illogical to many, then during the interview the site found out the answers to all questions and was imbued with sincere sympathy for the newly-minted artist. Read on and understand why.
website: Sasha, how did it happen that you started singing? Still, she grew up in a family of athletes.
Alexia: Few people know about this, but my dad sings very well, so, probably, I was into him - my mother was not interested in vocals. When tennis didn't work out for me, I realized that this was my chance to make a childhood dream come true. At the family council, they decided that it was worth finding good teachers so that they would give me a voice, and try.
“No one thought that in the future I would start recording songs and shooting videos - I just wanted to find something I like, to which I could devote my free time from school.”
website: In addition to vocals, what else do you do?
Alexia: Solfeggio. I am still learning to play the piano - I practice almost every day. It is difficult enough to start at the age of 16, but without it, nowhere.
Alexia: Moved to 10th. After graduation, I plan to enter MGIMO, most likely the Faculty of Economics.
? Why economics, not music?
Alexia:“I like mathematics, I like to solve various problems, equations. I'm also interested in economics. I want to get a higher fundamental education, which will come in handy anyway.”
As for music ... As an option, I consider Gnesinka (Russian Academy of Music named after the Gnesins, - approx. site), faculty of pop-jazz vocals. But I'm still not sure if it's worth those nerves. We have a lot of artists who did not study at music colleges, universities - they had enough knowledge gained at a music school or during private lessons.
Alexia: I visit a choreographic studio, because I want to move well on stage, put on numbers with dance elements. And, of course, I really like the learning process.
Alexia: That's the thing, no. It all started with my first song “I will dance”, which I prepared as a wedding gift for my mother. It so happened that one of the guests filmed my performance, posted it on Youtube, the video quickly gained a lot of views, and soon I was offered to put the single in rotation on the radio.
“Honestly, I did not dream of broadcasts, stage, concerts. Everything happened spontaneously. Then I thought, why not try to develop in this area further. Now I’ve got a taste for it and I want to work hard, my producer Vladimir Nichiporuk helps me with this.”
website: How did your parents react to your choice?
Alexia: My parents always supported me in everything, they were never against my hobbies. On the contrary, if I wanted to quit any activity, they convinced me that it was worth making more effort to get the result.
Alexia: I just liked that name for a long time. If I perform under a pseudonym, this does not mean that in this way I try to hide my last name, family and pretend that I do not use the help of loved ones.
“Of course, my mom and dad help me, like any other parents help their children - they support me, guide me, suggest something, advise.”
Moreover, I am still studying at school and, unfortunately, I do not earn money myself. But my parents didn’t “shove” me anywhere, they didn’t spend millions on my promotion, as some media write. I really hope that after some time I will be able to provide for myself and pay off my relatives.
Alexia: In some respects, yes, of course, it interferes. Many, as soon as they hear that "the daughter of Tatyana Navka and Alexander Zhulin sang," react harshly and biased. They say that I have no talent and in general everything is paid for, while they don’t even understand the situation and don’t want to understand anything. Okay, let them think so.
Alexia: Not anymore. It used to be a shame, because, in my opinion, I have a good voice. I'm not saying that I have excellent vocal abilities, super talent, but there is always something to strive for, something to develop.
Alexia: I have never been a “famous” child - I lived in America until the age of 6, then moved to Moscow, where I still study at an ordinary comprehensive school. I played tennis, as you remember, but it didn't work out. Even there, in sports, it used to be said that all tournaments were paid, they say, Zhulina was playing dishonestly. I worried, of course. But now I understand that you just need to work and not pay attention to who says what.
“A normal sane person would never waste their time on negative comments from insecure people on the internet.”
website: You give the impression of a very calm, reserved person.
Alexia: I'm just stress-resistant, but quick-tempered (smiles).
website: It’s just hard to imagine you in anger!
Alexia: However, it happens often (laughs). This is my big flaw that I'm working on. Sometimes anger even helps, especially at work, when you get angry at yourself and try to work to the maximum.
Sasha Zhulina is a 16-year-old Moscow schoolgirl who firmly decided to become a singer. A girl performs under the stage name of Alexia and demands that she be called that way. She spoke about the first steps in the profession and not only in an interview with the HELLO.RU website.
Sasha is moving towards her goal slowly but stubbornly: she is engaged in vocals, plays the piano, records songs, and recently, together with MBAND soloist Nikita Kiosse, she shot the first video. In the very near future, when her peers will enjoy their summer holidays, Sasha will go to America - she entered the prestigious New York Film Academy, where she will study acting and the art of musical theater for several weeks. The ability to clearly set goals and achieve them is in Sasha's blood: the daughter of the famous figure skating champions Alexander Zhulin and Tatyana Navka could not be different. However, Sasha does not want to use the fame of her parents, which explains the fact that she took a sonorous pseudonym for the stage - Alexia.
Sasha, many believe that all doors are open to the children of famous parents. Why do you think otherwise?
I don’t want to be announced before my performances: “Tatyana Navka’s daughter is on stage.” I want to go my own way, even if it means working three times as hard. I'm ready for this.
Why Alexia?
I like the name Alexander, so I wanted to find a consonant pseudonym. Alexia - beautiful, in my opinion.
The name is international. Do you plan to work not only in Russia?
Not yet, I'm determined to work in Russia. And there you will see.
You were a professional sportsman. How did it happen that in the end you decided to connect your life with music?
I went in for sports from 6 to 15 years old, played tennis. He occupied most of my life, there were successes. At 12, I won the Russian championship in pairs among athletes of my age category, and won prizes in international competitions. In general, everything was serious. But then I got injured, because of which I missed six months of training. I didn’t play tennis at all, I went to the doctors. No one could accurately diagnose, and the injury made itself felt constantly, my back hurt a lot. Dreams of tennis had to be abandoned. And then I remembered another hobby of mine - since childhood I loved to sing when no one was at home. But there was no time to do this seriously, since all the forces went to the sport. A year ago, I started to study vocals with a teacher, I also take piano lessons.
When did you decide that you wanted to sing not for yourself, but in front of an audience?
The idea to record the song came about when I was preparing a gift for my mother's wedding. "I will dance" I first performed it there. There were no thoughts about the stage, I just wanted to please my mother. That was when my first public performance took place. I did not think that the song would get on the radio, but it got there, and the question arose under what name to put it on the air. Then the pseudonym Alexia appeared and plans to build a career on stage.
One of your first performances on a serious stage took place on June 12 on Red Square, at a gala concert in honor of the Day of Russia. How were you received by the audience?
Well, people smiled, danced. I was very worried, but then I didn’t want to leave the stage - the audience gives such energy! I see comments on social media. More good, kind, when songs and voice are praised. But there are also negative ones, which at first upset me. I was very worried, I thought - why can't I do what I like? Am I doomed to read bad reviews all my life and always be treated with prejudice? But then it let go. I think that normal people will not waste time writing nasty things under the article. Fortunately, there are few such people.
The other day you starred in the debut video for the song "You breathe me." Tell us about how the shooting went.
The concept of the video - a romantic story in which two young people are fighting for my heart - we came up with my mother, producer Vladimir Nichiporuk and director Felix Mikhailov. Filmed until 7am! But I really liked the process, I thought it would be more difficult. There were no thoughts “I want to sleep”, “I want to eat”, on the contrary, I did not want to leave the site even late at night. My filming partners, MBAND soloist Nikita Kiosse and model Roman Shlyakiss, and I ran around Muzeon, rode bicycles, it was fun. And around 5 in the morning it started to rain, and we filmed already at dawn, in the rain - there was such a beautiful scene ... In general, now I'm really looking forward to when the editing of the video is ready and I will finally see it.
By the way, you also tried yourself as a model. At the fashion show by designer Bella Potemkina, she walked the runway in a dress in the colors of the Russian flag. Liked?
For the first time I was in the role of a model, Bella invited me to shoot for a lookbook, and after that I went to the catwalk in her dress. I thought, why not? But this is a one-time experience, I do not plan to pursue a modeling career, especially since my height is not suitable. I was actually surprised that they took me. (Laughs.)
Sasha, you rarely go to social events, while many of your peers, who also decided to conquer show business - Stefania Malikova, Yurkiss - do not miss anything significant ...
Well, why, sometimes my mother and I go to events, just recently we were together at the RU.TV channel awards, and now, after our interview, I’m going to the Fashion TV Russia channel award - Fashion Summer Awards 2016. (At the ceremony, Sasha received an award in the nomination It girl. - Ed.) But in general, I have practically no time for parties: I used to play tennis, now - music. In general, my main plan for the next two years is to finish school and go to university.
Are you really excellent?
Yes, I have almost all fives.
Where are you planning to go?
At MGIMO, I want to get an economic education. I've always liked math.
But what about Gnesinka and dreams of a stage?
Many successful actors and singers do not have a diploma from any special institution, but this does not prevent them from being professionals in their field. I think private tutoring will help, and I'll be heading to New York in a few days to spend my summer vacation studying acting at the New York Film Academy. This is a summer camp for children from 14 to 17 years old, where Kevin Spacey, Steven Spielberg, Al Pacino give lectures. I think this experience will help me.
You were born in New York, lived there as a child. Did you miss the city?
I haven't been there since I was 6, so I don't remember it well. So I'll practically get to know him again.
Is it the first time you've been separated from your family for such a long time?
I live with my mother, I'm used to seeing her every day. Of course I will miss you. Now she is in Sochi, playing in the musical on ice "Carmen", but when she does not have tours, we see each other every day. Mom is generally a close person to me, we have a very warm relationship with her. Unlike many children of athletes, I was never an abandoned child, I always had the attention of both mom and dad.
How are things with friends? Are you friends with any celebrity kids? Do you know the same Stesha Malikova, for example?
Yes, we know each other, we greet each other, but we are not close friends. Most of the guys whose parents are famous have known each other since childhood, so they are friends. They studied at the same schools - Lomonosov or at the "President" school in Zhukovka, and I studied at an ordinary state school, so my friends are not "golden youth". (Laughs.)
Do you ride the subway?
Here in the subway is usually not, only if I'm late.
Do you suffer from popularity, recognition? Can you go to Gorky Park for a walk without security?
Can. I don't have security, why? I rarely get recognized on the street.
And the armored car doesn't follow you?
Of course not. (Laughs).
