Childhood and family
The future celebrity was born on November 24, 1983 in Moscow.
As the singer herself notes, she began to sing before she spoke. Well, let's take her word for it. Music and art have always been an important part of the life of our today's heroine. Her mother was a professional vocalist, and her father taught students the peculiarities of working with Florentine mosaics. That is why it is not at all surprising that Svetikova’s parents began to instill in their daughter a love of beauty from an early age. At the age of four, her mother took the girl to the children's musical ensemble "Multik".

After this, there were also classes at the art school of the Izmailovo sports complex, where Sveta studied vocals and choreography from the age of six. But that was not all. In 1991, the future celebrity began studying at the Moscow Children's Variety Theater in the group of the famous teacher Valentina Ovsyannikova. Under her leadership, the girl began performing in the children's “rock” ensemble “Papa Carlo”.
It was with this group that Svetikova recorded her first music album in her life - “Live in Rock”. This record consisted of cover versions of famous hits of the world rock scene and was considered very successful by critics.
In the wake of her first success, Svetikova, as part of the Papa Carlo group, went on her first tour (throughout the cities of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus). Somewhat later, Germany and the Baltic countries were also added to this list.

Svetikova Svetlana Andreevna - short biography
Born on November 24, 1983 in Moscow.
She studied at the Pedagogical Institute. IN AND. Lenin (left the institute for the role of Esmeralda in the musical “Notre Dame de Paris”).
In 2006, Svetlana Svetikova entered the Faculty of Variety Arts at RATI-GITIS, but a small blemish appeared in Svetika’s biography: she was expelled for non-attendance due to filming a film.
Now Svetlana Svetikova is recording songs, participating in various television shows and acting in films.
In Svetlana Svetikova’s personal life: Her common-law husband is figure skater and acrobat Alexey Polishchuk. They are raising a son, Milan (1.5 years old).
— Svetlana, not long ago the third season of the “One to One” project ended, where Svetikova took third place. How it was?
— The offer to participate came back in the second season, but then I was a very young mother, my son was two months old. Then I would not be able to leave the child for a long time. How long will it take? I remember going for an ultrasound in the maternity hospital, and then running like crazy to Milan, recognizing his cry among dozens of other children’s voices. No, then I firmly decided: no projects! But the third season of “One to One” came to me on time. But participation in it is largely the merit of my husband Alyosha, he is very empathetic to my creativity.
— Please tell us about Svetlana Svetikova’s personal life, how did you meet your husband?
— This happened on the “City Lights” project. At first he became my friend. We talked a lot, a lot, for a while. I realized that before no one accepted me for who I am. And it becomes so easy when they accept you, when someone really likes you! So we chatted for several months and got together, passion arose. And then comes love.
He also helped me put things in order in my personal life. With your calmness and reliability. I can drown in feelings, emotions, go into depression, sit on the balcony and look at the sky for three hours. This is not about him. He has business to do. And football. And at the same time he is an incredibly smart person. Exactly the person with whom I wanted to have a child.
— How did Svetlana Svetikova feel during pregnancy?
“I didn’t know yet that I was pregnant, but I felt that something had happened to me, I very clearly felt a change in myself. And I slept for three days after that. And I didn’t need anything, I didn’t want anything, but it wasn’t depression, it wasn’t apathy. I wanted silence. For the first time in my life I didn’t want to sing. This was two weeks before the pregnancy test.
When everything became clear, the best period of my life began. I did not radically change the external forms of life. I drove a car until the ninth month, walked in heels, went to the gym, where I worked out as usual, except perhaps more carefully, and felt very good.
— Less than a month after giving birth, Svetlana Svetikova participated in the play “Cabaret.” Wasn't it risky?
- Probably it was. It’s interesting that when I was leaving, I forgot my keys, came back, something else fell on me, then a black cat ran across the road. If I were superstitious, I would never go! But I'm not superstitious, I'm a believer. And one more point that is very important. A woman should enjoy life without completely immersing herself in the child and herself.
— Ten years ago you said that without hesitation, remove from your life everything that would interfere with your creative activity. And now.

Solo career
Having matured a little, the singer left the ensemble and began to pursue a solo career.
In the mid-nineties, our today's heroine won several prestigious youth competitions (Young Talents of Muscovy, Crystal Drop, Bon Chanson, etc.). Sveta Svetikova - Fortune Teller The victory at the “50x50” competition is worth special mention in this list. Having become a laureate of this competition, the girl earned many accolades, and also received the opportunity to study in America. However, the girl did not take advantage of such a unique chance. The reason for this was the Polish musical “Metro,” which was soon to be staged on the stage of the Moscow Operetta Theater. One of the compositions of this musical production impressed our today's heroine so much that Sveta decided to get the coveted role in this musical at any cost. Moving towards her dream, Svetikova went through a huge number of castings, qualifying rounds and all kinds of auditions, but in the end she still received the coveted role.
Work in the musical “Metro” became the starting point in Sveta Svetikova’s long career. Her appearance within the framework of this production brought the singer her first success, and with it new roles.
Over the next few years, our today's heroine played many wonderful roles in a variety of musicals. A kind of apogee of this stage of the singer’s career was the role of Esmeralda in the production of “Notre Dame de Paris”.
Svetlana Svetikova - Live, musical Notre Dame De Paris The soulful performance of the song “Live” brought the singer many praises from critics, as well as true love from the public. It is quite remarkable that the French authors of the original version of the musical even recognized Sveta as the best performer of the role of Esmeralda in the world.

Childhood
Svetlana Svetikova was born on November 24, 1983 in Moscow into a creative family - her mother, from whom Sveta inherited her voice, was once a professional vocalist, and her father, who inherited determination and strength of character from his daughter, is currently teaching students the art of Florentine mosaics.
The parents, who from the very first minutes of the girl’s birth observed the child’s mobility, emotionality and lightness, without thinking twice, decided to name their daughter Svetlana, which means “bright” in Slavic. And in combination with Svetikova’s surname, it completely predicted a cloudless future for the baby.
From early childhood, Svetlana was surrounded by music - at the age of 4, her parents decided to send Sveta to the “Cartoon” ensemble. Later, the girl performed in the Izmailovo sports complex, the Moscow Children's Variety Theater, and the rock group Papa Carlo.
Thanks to Sveta’s obvious talent, she performed as a Doll in the New Year’s performance “The Nutcracker” on the stage of the Perov House of Youth Creativity, visited many countries with performances, and wherever she sang, she attracted attention with her appearance, manners, and, most importantly, , with a clear and strong voice, which contributed to the girl’s victory at the “Young Talents of Muscovy” and “Crystal Drop” competitions.
Musicals
The most important and crucial moment came when Sveta, having won the “50/50” competition at the age of 15, received a trip to Miami as a prize. When all the preparations had already been completed and tickets had been purchased, suddenly her friend announced that she was recruiting for the musical “Metro.” At first, Sveta was not interested in this information and she, accustomed to singing alone, did not intend to go there at all. But, having heard the magnificent song “Prayer”, Svetlana literally ran to the casting. On the one hand, she really wanted to try her hand at a new project, but, on the other hand, she was a little afraid, and one can only guess about what was going on in her soul then.
The painful selections and rehearsals that began cost so much nerves and strength that Svetlana Svetikova’s victory in the frantic competition became a real reward for sleepless nights and days. In this musical, released in 1999 and in which Svetikova chose to take part in a trip to Miami, Sveta played the role of a girl who ran away from an orphanage in search of a better life. This role brought some popularity to our heroine, but the role of Esmeralda, the immortal heroine of Victor Hugo’s creation, in the musical “Notre Dame de Paris”, released three years later, which became the young actress’s first leading role, brought her real success. This role, compared to the role in the musical “Metro,” is deeper and more tragic, and Svetlana undoubtedly succeeded. In addition, according to many, the performance of one of the main songs of the musical called “To Live” is not inferior in sensuality and temperament to the same song performed by Celine Dion.
Naturalness and brilliant singing are two qualities that are the key to Svetlana Svetikova’s successful performances on stage.
Sveta has other works in the theater - she sang the part of Margarita in the musical “The Master and Margarita” paired with Dmitry Kharatyan, who performed the part of the Master; performed as Teresa in the rock opera “The Star and Death of Joaquin Murrieta”, as well as in the leading roles of the musicals “Romeo and Juliet” and “Cabaret”.
Movie
Sveta is not limited to just vocals - having decided to try her hand at cinema, she began with a minor role in the drama series “Three Against All-2”, and a year later she was already offered the main role of the mermaid El in the film “Give Me Happiness” - a mermaid so passionately eager to plunge into the world of earthly people filled with colors and emotions that for this she was ready to give her fairy-tale voice to the mute girl Dina, who dreamed of singing.
Having appeared in episodes of the series “Alice's Dreams” and “Gloss”, as well as playing the role of Margot in the series “Happy Together”, in 2007 she took part in the action film “You Can’t Catch Up with Us” by Ilya Shilovsky, playing one of the main roles, a student at a theater institute Olga Marysheva, and in Mikhail Slavsky’s series “Love is not show business,” where Sveta has the main role of the girl Zhenya, who came from the outback to Moscow. Having started working with Russian stars, she becomes acquainted with the customs and orders that reign in show business, but, despite all the adventures, she manages to remain herself, which helped her achieve recognition and find her love.
Among the relatively recent works of the singer and actress is a role in the detective series “Photograph”, where Svetikova played the roles of Snezhanna and Inna and where she also performed the soundtrack to the film, as well as a role in the good New Year’s comedy about love “Operation Righteous” with elements of mysticism and devilish events, where Svetlana appeared in the guise of the Devil’s servant.
Besides
A year after the premiere of the musical "Notre Dame de Paris", which brought Svetlana Svetikova great popularity, she took part in the musical project "Star Factory-3", and a little later - in the project "The Last Hero", which further glorified our heroine throughout country. But not only all-Russian fame awaited Sveta - having sung a duet with such world stars as Toto Cutugno and Garou, Svetikova gained fame outside our country.
Personal life
Svetlana Svetikova is a real accomplished star who has thousands of fans, her own fan clubs and crowds of boys in love at the entrance. Her colleagues love her not only for her magnificent voice and talent, but also for her strong character, which Svetlana shows not only in her work, but also in her relationship with her younger sister Natasha, with whom they are completely different. Sveta values her family very much and the support of her loved ones is very, very important to her - after all, it’s not for nothing that Sveta’s mother and sister are regular visitors to all kinds of Svetikova’s performances.
Interesting Facts

"Star Factory"
In 2003, almost immediately after the tremendous success of the musical “Notre Dame de Paris”, our today’s heroine was cast for the popular Russian project “Star Factory-3”. As part of this television competition, Sveta Svetikova gained new experience for herself, and also became known throughout the country. Despite the fact that she was never among the winners of the project, after participating in “Star Factory-3” (Russia), the singer’s career rapidly took off.
Sveta Svetikova gave birth to a son
Together with other “manufacturers”, such as Yulia Mikhalchik, Nikita Malinin, Irina Ortman, she traveled all over Russia, as well as many CIS countries. She enjoyed the kind of success one could only dream of. However, over time, the excitement around Svetikova’s name began to slowly decline. Neither participation in various television projects (“The Last Hero 5,” “Great Race,” “Dancing with the Stars”), nor even filming for the men’s magazine Maxim helped to regain his former popularity.
Projects with the participation of Svetlana Andreevna Svetikova
The celebrity has dozens of different projects. Svetlana took part in ice shows twice. This was the ice show “City Lights” and the project “Disco City”. She also has eleven photo projects to her credit. The latest of them are the Dream Team charity project and the TV Park special project. Svetikova also has a lot of television projects. Among the most famous are “Star Factory”, “Golden Gramophone”, “Dancing with the Stars”, “The Last Hero”. As for advertising, the singer starred as part of a “factory” contract in a video for the new season of the project. Also, for a long time, the girl was the face of Amway. And this is not surprising, because the girl’s external beauty can only be envied.

Sveta Svetikova now
Only at the moment when Svetlana again began to seriously engage in creativity, the public again began to take the singer’s new projects more seriously.

In addition, starting from the second half of the 2000s, Sveta began to appear frequently in musicals again.
