Childhood
The future singer was born on March 3, 1982 in the capital of humor, the hero city of Odessa.
Her mother Irina Leonidovna was a dressmaker, her father Yuri Evgenievich was a computer specialist. When the girl was 10 years old, her parents divorced. Over time, my mother remarried, and Aida had a younger sister, Alexandra. The sisters have always been very close. The eldest took care of the baby and protected her from yard hooligans. One day, a pugnacious boy tried to set his dog on her, and Aida broke his nose, although she dislocated her finger. At school she studied karate, so she could, if necessary, stand up for herself and stand up for her sister.
Childhood photo of Aida Nikolaychuk (pictured with her younger sister and mother)
According to the singer, she got her unusual name and wonderful voice from her grandmother, who literally instilled in her granddaughter a love of music and singing from the cradle. During her school years, she sang in the choir with pleasure, but she studied at music school for only six months, later honestly admitting that she was lazy to practice solfeggio. But she enthusiastically participated in music competitions and festivals, earning many diplomas and awards.
In addition, she liked to come up with designs for new outfits and sew, first with her mother, then on her own. In order to master the skill of a tailor at a professional level, after the ninth grade she entered a sewing college. Although, after another victory in a vocal competition, she was invited to the conservatory even without the necessary musical education, but she refused, reasoning that her individuality would be destroyed there.
Carier start
While studying in college, the desire to sing led Aida to audition for the hip-hop group Tenth Quarter. She was hired as a backing vocalist. As part of a group of young musicians, she performed in clubs in Southern Palmyra and went on tour to other Ukrainian cities. The girl spent her fees at the Odessa “7th Kilometer” market, purchasing fashionable clothes and new cassettes with hip-hop, which she adored.
Young Aida Nikolaychuk with her son
In 2002, the singer left the group. Music almost completely disappeared from her life - she got married, gave birth to a son and took on any job that brought money to the family.
Just before participating in The X Factor, which made her famous and allowed her to do what she loved - singing, she worked as a senior cashier in a clothing store.
"The X Factor": a show that changes lives
Of all the participants in the third season of the X Factor show, Aida Nikolaychuk has come the longest way. After all, she first appeared on the stage of the project in its first issue. Through defeats and trials, Aida reached the finals. There was only a little time left until victory, but the finalist herself preferred not to think about the voting results. The girl, who had stumbled more than once, was afraid to do it again. She also did not believe the words of one of the participants who had dropped out earlier, Dmitry Sysoev, who claimed that he would defeat Hades, because he saw it in a dream! It turns out that Dmitry dreamed not only about who would remain in the four finalists, but even the voting results. The dream turned out to be prophetic! Ukraine has found a new star!
Aida Nikolaychuk received a record number of votes from viewers in the entire history of the project. After the show, she signed a contract to record her first solo album with one of the largest record companies, which is called Sony Music Entertainment. With the help of this company, such popular world stars as Elvis Presley, Pink, Bob Dylan, Michael Jackson, Shakira, Celine Dion, Beyonce, Britney Spears and many others have already made their way to the star Olympus.
X Factor
In 2011, Aida went to the casting for the second season of the popular show “The X Factor” in the hope of getting a unique opportunity - to get a worthy expression of her talent and become a professional singer.
Aida Nikolaychuk became famous after participating in “Factor X”
She amazed the judges with her magical voice - they named her the second Susan Boyle and unanimously decided to include her among the lucky ones who qualify for the “Training Camp” stage. However, as a result of an unsuccessful performance in the top three performers, as provided for by the competition rules, the girl was forced to leave the project.
At the same time, the video of her performance on Youtube deservedly gained about five million views in a week. A subsequent impeccable performance on “X Factor online” gave her victory and a ticket to the training camp, but for the third season.
At the stage of the talent show “Visit to the Judges” she performed in front of Thomas Anders. As a result, he invited her to a joint concert in Moscow. Under the guidance of her mentor Igor Kondratyuk, the contestant managed to show her best side and be among the finalists of the project.
Aida Nikolaychuk’s voice captivated both the jury and the audience
During nine rounds of the final competition, she performed the compositions of Barbra Streisand “Woman in love”, Spice Girls “Viva Forever”, “Love is a magical country” by Valentina Ponomareva, “Color of the Night” by Lauren Christie, “Lonely” by Irina Bilyk.
There were rumors about a romance between Aida Nikolaychuk and Igor Kondratyuk
As her mentor’s favorite song, the finalist sang “Ask My Heart” by Ani Lorak, cover versions of “Money Money Money” by ABBA, “I Wanna Be Loved By You” by Marilyn Monroe and “Nizhno” by Tina Karol. She also sang two romances - “The Nightingale Whistled to Us All Night” by Lyudmila Senchina and “Roses” by Diana Arbenina - and the dance hit “In Your Eyes” by Kylie Minogue. Aida Nikolaychuk – I Wanna Be Loved by You The song “Stumblin' In”, performed by the Odessa resident together with the famous Chris Norman, caused real delight among the audience. She also sang stunningly Lara Fabian’s famous composition “Je Suis Malade” (“I’m sick of you”). Aida Nikolaychuk - super-final of “The X-Factor” It is noteworthy that the girl became a real favorite of the audience - thanks to their support, she never got into the elimination nominations, won the title of the best vocalist of Ukraine on the project and a reward of two million hryvnia.
"Factor X" behind the scenes
The brilliant performance of the winner of the third season of “The X Factor” was also appreciated by actor Ashton Kutcher with a post on Facebook: “Sometimes what seems too good to be true actually turns out to be true.”
interview
07:47 15.01.2013
Having survived the broadcast phase, the show “X Factor 3” came to its natural conclusion. The final chords of the gala concert have died down, and the time has come for the graduates to work off their advances - an all-Ukrainian tour. I met the winner of the show, Aida Nikolaychuk, during a rehearsal at the October Palace. And, naturally, she bombarded with questions: about relations with the judges and Kondratyuk in particular, about the cold image and competition. But the white queen of season 3 began her revelations with fatigue:
— There were times when we got up very early in the training camp and arrived very late. Once we even got up at 4:30 in the morning. But mostly we got up at 6:30-7:00. Then breakfast, literally right away we were loaded into the car and driven to rehearsal. There we were “chased and chased away”, and then at about 6 pm we were taken home. But sometimes they arrived at twelve...
Aida wandered around the catacombs of Oktyabrsky, waiting for her turn to rehearse
— Have you gotten tired of such a schedule?
- It happened. This was already felt during the last broadcasts. And on my penultimate one, the song was also heavy. And the broadcast itself was not easy, so it was clear in our eyes that we were tired.
— You probably didn’t celebrate the New Year?
— Last year I met on a live broadcast. This year we were more fortunate - we met him at the training camp. But in fact, there is at least something to remember. And the vacation will be closer to spring, to summer.
— Do your family and friends understand that you will rarely be at home now?
- Yes. I was often absent from work before. There were various trips. But now everything will be much tougher. Maxim (Aida’s son - Nanny) is worried and wants me to be with him. But he has studies, I have work. I will leave my son with my mother, my sister, and my grandparents.
— Who do you think was the leader of this project?
— We were 12 strong guys. It's hard to say who was the leader. Each viewer had their own leader, but I didn’t single anyone out. Everyone was very strong and with the right approach could take high places. The same Milen, unfortunately, simply did not have time to open up. But if she had stayed, then by the last broadcast everything would have been different.
— And many people thought that Milen sang in a low voice on her first and last broadcast...
— It is necessary to take into account that the rehearsal before this was very tight. Her number was used at the general run several times. They rehearsed it for a long time until Mylene and the backup dancers learned everything. And so on all Friday. Naturally, fatigue was evident during the live broadcast on Saturday.
— The project is over. Many viewers, after a while, write: where are the X Factor graduates now? Aren't you afraid of oblivion?
- No I'm not afraid. I'm not going to stop there. There are already clear plans that a single will be recorded and there will be promotion. That is, they won’t let me go to sleep now and wake up in a year. We'll have to work.
“I’m not in danger of being forgotten after The X Factor.”
— Did Igor Kondratyuk ever offer you his services as a producer?
- No. There was no such conversation. And to be honest, I didn’t even expect it.
— How did you work with Igor?
“I’m very glad that I got to see him.” After a while, I realized that I wouldn’t want to become the ward of any of the judges. Despite the fact that at first I did not feel the best attitude towards myself.
— Did he pay all his attention to Litvinkovich?
“I don’t know who exactly, but out of the six he paid attention to everyone, but not to me.” He treated me with the most restraint. But then we got to know each other better, developed an understanding, he understood me, I understood him, and we, one might say, became friends.
“Litvinkovich was probably Kondratyuk’s favorite”
- So was Litvinkovich a favorite or not?
- Most likely it was. Igor loved Yasha and Katya very much, but they were all new. He knew Zhenya from the “talents”, he invited him to the “X Factor”, he bet on him. This is probably why he singled out Litvinkovich from everyone. Kondratyuk only met me at castings; we did not have closer communication.
— Did you refuse the songs that Kondratyuk offered you on the project?
— Probably every broadcast I thought: I don’t want to sing this song, I won’t be able to do it. Each time there were experiences, because the songs were chosen not by me, but by the creative group. At first I was skeptical. But now I understand that I was wrong, because everything was selected taking into account my voice data, taking into account the image.
— The other judges didn’t like you at first either...
“I listened to their criticism and accepted it. If, of course, she was sensible criticism related to my performance. But on one of the broadcasts, Dubtsova said that she simply didn’t like me. This is not a good criticism. I just threw up my hands - I can’t please everyone.
"I can't please everyone"
— Many viewers also don’t like your distant, arrogant image...
“I have already convinced you many times that there is no such image.” If anyone had similar associations... I'm definitely not arrogant and definitely not cold. Possibly discreet. After the first two broadcasts there were performances where my image changed. People simply have a stereotype about my image; if a person doesn’t like me, you won’t convince him. Flaws will definitely be found. Those who adequately assessed me saw that I was growing. Yes, I noticed this myself. There was a feeling of relaxation, warmth and dedication to the audience.
— Who did you think would win when you stood on stage with Litvinovich, and Oksana Marchenko was preparing to open the envelope?
- 50 to 50. When they took out the envelope, I deliberately turned away so as not to look. Oksana opened the envelope, I looked ahead, although I could spy. But since Zhenya didn’t see it, I didn’t want to either. She just said to herself the likely answer: “Zhenya Litvinkovich.” I didn’t want to be unprepared for defeat.
— Smirnov claimed that he had no chance to get ahead of you or Litvinkovich.
- Yes. I have over five million views on YouTube. It helped that my name was already well known. “Lullaby” from the castings did its job. Smirnov had a huge chance to win. I do not rule out that if the conditions were equal, Alexey would win.
— Where will you spend the prize money?
— I’m going to help my mother finish building a house in Odessa. I will spend the rest on my development and the development of my child. And it will be seen there.
P.S. _ _
When I recorded this interview with Aida, new details about her private life appeared on the Internet. More precisely, her topless photographs, which did not fit with the image of the discreet X Factor winner. I asked Aida how these photographs appeared in the first place, and whether she was ashamed that they were freely available on the Internet.
— This photo shoot was not a goal to make money, it was just an interesting experience for me, to try myself in a different field of creativity. I don’t see anything shameful in these photos, and I’m not ashamed of them,” Aida answered.

Further career
After a triumphant victory in the show and a subsequent tour, performances in Moscow and Berlin, the girl signed a contract with the largest recording company Sony Music.
She began to actively give concerts, record new musical compositions, shoot videos, and participate in social and cultural projects. In May 2013, she prepared and released her debut single “On Your Planet,” and also presented the premiere concert program “Somewhere on the Edge of a Dream...” in her hometown. Then she gave a concert in the capital of Ukraine, dedicated to Children’s Day, and presented the second single “Don’t Promise.”
Aida Nikolaychuk - “Don’t Promise” In June she acted as a guest judge at the “Mini Miss Ukraine 2013” competition, in July she released a video for her first solo song, and on New Year’s Eve she released the album “We are under the same sky” which included 9 compositions. According to the artist, during its creation she experimented a lot with genres, trying to find the best option for presenting musical material.
Aida Nikolaychuk's first album was released in 2014
In September, the singer’s debut video won the “Promotion” competition on the Russian TV channel Music Box. The following month, the girl performed in Bulgaria at the Little Miss World children's festival, and also participated in the National selection for Eurovision 2014, but did not make it into the top 20 finalists.
In December, she received a nomination for the Ukrainian music award YUNA-2013 in the “Discovery of the Year” category, was recognized as “Singer of the Year” according to the results of the domestic competition “Favorites of Success”, and became a laureate of the Ukrainian popularity rating of people and events “People’s Recognition”.
The girl’s delicate and fragile appearance hides her clear and strong voice.
In March 2014, the artist gave her fans the single “Eternity”. At the end of the summer, she terminated her contract with Sony Music and entered a new stage of creativity, presenting to the public a new song “Music” in September, and “Two Heavens” in December.
In 2020, the singer took part in a charity auction organized as part of the Lady Fest festival to help seriously ill children. She donated a painting of her own to the Tabletochka foundation and performed a vocal performance.

During the same period, the vocalist performed as a special guest at an evening of the Ukrainian diaspora dedicated to the holiday of Ivan Kupala in the Dutch city of The Hague. The funds raised during her concert were transferred to purchase an ambulance intended for transfer to the anti-terrorist operation zone in eastern Ukraine.
At the end of the summer, she released another video, filmed for the song “Short Beeps”, appearing in it in the image of a fatal seductress. The author of this composition was Tatyana Reshetnyak, finalist of the vocal show “Voice of the Country” on the “1+1” channel.
Aida Nikolaychuk - “Short beeps” The Odessa native became the performer of the soundtrack for the series “For Love I Can Do Anything,” which started on the Inter channel in November.
Music
A popular video from “The X Factor”, where Aida Nikolaychuk sings the famous composition by Polina Gagarina called “Lullaby”, was seen by millions of Youtube users. Then the indignant jury demanded that the performer stop the performance and sing a cappella, deciding that the girl was performing the song to a soundtrack with superimposed sound effects. Imagine the shock of the judges when the performance without music was no different from the original. Nikolaychuk’s voice is not a product of modern technology, but a miracle of nature.

Participation in the "X Factor" was thorny. Due to the disastrous collective performance, Aida left the project at the second stage. But the cashier from Odessa didn’t stop there, taking part in the X Factor Online. The moment the video appeared on Youtube, it gained a record number of votes in a very short time. So Nikolaychuk becomes the winner in the online version.
Resounding success on the Internet and numerous requests from fans forced the X-Factor jury to invite Nikolaychuk to participate in the third season of the show. Fans of the singer claim that Aida’s performance style is very similar to Lara Fabian’s performance style.
Immediately after the show, in December 2013, Aida Nikolaychuk was nominated for the YUNA-2013 music award in the “Discovery of the Year” category. The national rating “Favorites of Success 2013” recognized the Odessa performer as singer of the year.
After Nikolaychuk’s debut performance at the X Factor casting was heard by the famous American actor Ashton Kutcher, a message appeared on the artist’s Facebook page: “Sometimes what seems too good to be true is actually too good.”
In the same eventful and victorious 2013, Aida Nikolaychuk signed a contract with the global recording company Sony Music, and at the end of May of the same year she presented the first single “On Your Planet,” which was soon followed by the second, “Don’t Promise.” In May 2013, Aida Nikolaychuk’s first solo concert took place in her native Odessa. At the end of December, the performer released her first album “We are under the same sky”, which included her favorite compositions “Tak sumue vesna”, “Fly away”, “On your planet” and others.
At the end of the summer of 2014, Aida Nikolaychuk terminated her contract with Sony Music and is collaborating with a new team. The creative biography of the performer began a new round. This period was also marked by new songs: in September 2014, fans of Aida’s talent heard the song “Music,” and in December the singer gave them a new hit, “Two Heavens.”
The most popular compositions of 2020 are “Short beeps” and “Tender kiss”. That same year, the singer participated in a charity auction. She donated a painting of her own to the Tabletochka foundation and sang a song.
In 2020, the singer participated in the selection for Eurovision. The singer made it to the semi-finals with the song “Inner Power”, but did not make it to the final. In the same year, a video presentation for the composition “Don’t Try” took place.
Aida also planned to try her hand at qualifying for Eurovision 2017, but this time she was unsuccessful.
Personal life of Aida Nikolaychuk
The singer is married for the second time. She met her chosen one, the Belarusian drifter and stunt rider Nikita Podolsky, in Kyiv, at the Chaika stadium, thanks to their common passion for motorsports.

When we met, he called her voice “crystal,” which the girl remembered. They started dating and 2 years later, in October 2020, they got married. The singer is not embarrassed by the fact that her husband is 12 years younger than her; she considers him a real man, behind whom she feels like behind a stone wall.
The girl met her first husband, Pavel, in Nikolaev, during the “Tenth Quarter” tour. She saw him, handsome and impressive, from the stage among the audience and fell in love at first sight.
Aida Nikolaychuk with her son Maxim
As it turned out, the young man was also a cutter and was also engaged in making cliches for jewelry. At first they met “in two cities,” then she moved to Nikolaev with him, got married and became a mother. When their son Maxim was one year old, the young family moved to Odessa. There the girl changed several jobs - she was a mobile phone salesman, a waitress, and a cashier operator. Soon their relationship with her husband began to crack, and they separated.
At The X Factor, Aida had a short affair with sound engineer Dmitry, which she prefers not to remember.
Personal life
About the personal life of Aida Nikolaychuk, only those details are known that the girl herself tells. For example, Aida had a marriage that broke up after a few years. Aida left her surname Nikolaychuk from her ex-husband. She is raising her son Maxim on her own, and maintains friendly relations with her ex-husband.
Aida Nikolaychuk with her son
In 2013, Aida Nikolaychuk began an affair with an athlete from Belarus Nikita Podolsky. Nikita is a motorcyclist, stuntrider and drifting champion. When the young man was seriously injured, he moved to Ukraine and immediately met Aida. The first meeting took place at the Chaika stadium; the girl was also fond of motorsports and often visited this place. At the time of their acquaintance, Nikolaychuk was 34 years old, and Nikita was 22. But the 12-year age difference did not bother both.
The young man proposed beautifully, according to the rules. This happened in Aida’s hometown - Odessa. The couple came to Nikolaychuk’s home to introduce their mothers. Then Nikita got down on one knee and took out the ring. The girl doesn’t remember what Podolsky said. What happened was a pleasant shock for her, as it was for both parents.

Aida assures that behind Nikita she is like behind a stone wall. The man gets along well with the singer’s son.
Soon after the proposal, the couple formalized their relationship. There was no magnificent celebration. There simply wasn’t enough time to organize the wedding. The girl was then preparing for a solo concert in Kyiv.
From the traditional - a dress, a suit and a photographer to capture this important event. After the registry office, the lovers enjoyed each other's company. The girl did not change her last name after marriage, since “Nikolaichuk” had already become a brand. The spouses do not yet have any children together.

The artist maintains an official microblog on Instagram, where thousands of fans watch the girl’s life and work. But the singer rarely shares private photos. Rather, these are pictures from professional photo shoots and work moments.
Aida Nikolaychuk and Igor Kondratyuk
